|Verse 1|

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.


|Pre-Chorus|

And oh

How He loves us oh

Oh how He loves us

how He loves us oh


|Chorus|

He loves us

Oh how He loves us

Oh how He loves us

Oh how He loves


|Verse 2|

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
