David Crowder : How He Loves
He is jealous for me,Loves 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 realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us so,
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.
We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
And Heaven meets earth like an unforseen 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…
I first time I can remember hearing this song and actually understand the lyrics was the first of January when I started going to BCM on campus. Now its a song I hear often on WBGL. I love the song and its lyrics. It is a really down to earth song and makes you think of what the son offered us when he gave himself on the cross. It is a debt that cannot ever be repaid. But we can contribute to him in the way of prayer, worship, fellowship, and sharing the gospel of the lord with all those around us. I have been neglecting this fact when i get so caught up in school, work, studying, and spending time with friends. I need to realize this fully and change my ways. I need to offer myself to the lord more often. I know people and myself included put materialistic objects in front of our lord and this should not be so. We, they, them, ourselves, me....need to drop those things and go down on our knees and pray for forgiveness and humbleness from the lord. This is a way to connect with god and give yourselves completely to him. I know people who say that they are Christians and believe in the lord but when other events pop up, they forget about their god and proceed with that event. This should not occur. We need to think more about our actions and how they affect our lives before we act on impulse.
My goal for this following week is to think of my actions before completing them and try to glorify the lord in all i do and say. To praise god for the wonderful world that i live in and look around and see the beautiful colors and shapes all around me. To see all the wonders in this world that god has created for you and for me!
~Forever Yours
