David Crowder Band - How He Loves Us

[AlexB23]

Ahh, another song from my younger years. A slow ballad, proclaiming how God loves us. We may all have our struggles and battles in life, but God loves us all, and wants to save us. It seems that most of my favorite Christian songs from my childhood are slow ballads (Chris Tomlin - Indescribable, Selah - Bless The Broken Road, Jeremy Camp - Walk By Faith, Michael W. Smith - Agnus Dei, Third Day - God of Wonders).

Relevant Bible verse for the song:
John 3:16 (ESV): "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."


How He Loves Us (Lyrics, 2009):

… He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me
… And oh, how He loves us, oh
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us all
… And He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me
… And, oh, how He loves us, oh
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us all
… Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves
… And we are His portion and He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking
And heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about, the way...
… That He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves
… Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves
… Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves

You are welcome. It is a classic, that we probably sang in at my church in the early 2010s. There is one thing that I miss about nondenominational churches: The music. Yes, the Catholic hymns are good, but it would be nice if at least one classic CCM (Christian contemporary music) song from the 1970s-2014 was played.

Though, last Sunday before Mass, the pianist and choir sang Hillsong - Oceans (Where My Feet May Fail), a newer classic from 2013. That song made me want to tear up, but I could not in front of other churchgoers.
