This Is How I Know
Kristene DiMarco's 'It Is Well' is a worship song that reflects on the depth of God's love, demonstrated through the sacrifice of His Son. The lyrics speak of how true love is shown through giving, and how God's grace and love are made tangible in the incarnation. The song expresses a personal response of hope and the overcoming of fear, as the singer acknowledges the transformative power of God's love. It draws on the biblical theme of the Word becoming flesh, emphasizing the intimate connection God makes with humanity.
How can love be known
Unless it makes its home with me?
How can I watch it grow
Unless it is willing to sow its tears?
This is how I know true love
That God did not withhold His very own Son
This is how I know His grace
To demonstrate His love in such a way
He wanted me to feel it
He wanted me to see it
For me to believe it
To touch it and to breathe it
He has displayed the greatest love
His perfect love
The depth of love was shown
His heart was fully exposed for me
I have hope that I've never known
He's overtaken my soul and my fear
So the word became flesh
And He made with us a home
