It’s amazing how You can speak right to my heart
With our Daddy’s Word, we can light up the dark
Triumphs are made, I could never explain
The width of Your love and the depth of Your grace
The smile on Your face lets me know that You love me
There’s a truth in Your eyes saying You’d never leave me
The touch of Your hand says You’ll catch me if ever I fall
You gave Your best when I did nothing at all
All alone we could never speak for ourselves
That’s why You came & took our sins upon Yourself
You died on the Cross and You rose from the grave
You’ve set us on high, by Your grace at Your side
The smile on Your face lets me know that You love me
There’s a truth in Your eyes saying You’d never leave me
The touch of Your hand says You’ll catch me if ever I fall
You gave Your best when I did nothing at all
This is like my favourite song now, written by John Mark McMillan (haven’t really heard of him before), covered by many others, including Jared Anderson from Desperation Band, Kim Walker from Jesus Culture, David Crowder Band etc. Here’s a nice video:
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.
Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.
(x2)
Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves.
(x2)
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
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet 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
He loves us,
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves
(x2)
Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us
He loves us
He loves us
He loves.
Me and Jesus, it’s not someone else, it’s not a third party, it’s not the person singing the song, it’s not your spouse, but it’s you, yourself, alone, but not lonely, because you are with Jesus. When you know that you are His beloved, you are the one whom Jesus loves, you are whole, not half empty, not half full, but a complete, satisfied being.
When there’s nowhere else to turn
All your bridges have been burned
Feels like you’ve hit rock bottom
Don’t give up it’s not the end
Open up your heart again
When you feel like no one
Understands where you are
[chorus]
Someone loves you even when you don’t think so
Don’t you know you got Me and Jesus
By your side through the fight
You will never be alone
On your own you got me and Jesus
After all that we’ve been through
Be now you know I’ve doubted too
But everytime my head was in my
Hands you said to me
Hold on to what we got
This is worth any cost so
Make the most of life
That’s borrowed
Love like there’s no tomorrow
