How He Loves Us

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

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.

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…

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.

I have been listening to this song pretty much on repeat each morning while Camden and I hang out. I can't get enough of it. It seems like each time I listen to it a different part sticks out to me. Sometimes I forget that He loves me, that he knows me so intimately, that He is jealous for me. What does that mean? I think that it means that when I put everything I am into being a mom, friend, daughter, sister, wife and ignore that I am simply His child, His daughter....OR when I care more about what I have, how I look, what people think, and ignore how He sees me, and thinks of me OR I WORRY...constantly about really crazy things, He is jealous. He has promised me over and over not to worry, to pray and to trust.

Another part that gets me....we are HIS portion. Definitino of portion....a part separated from a whole. How cool is that, I am a part of Him, His portion....

I wish I could get the song to play on my blog...geez, anyone? I am technilogically challenged. Update on Camden...he is feeling much better. We all slept in our own beds last night. He got up one time and fell back asleep on his own after being reunited with his pacifier. Thank you so much for the prayers. I know they were coming.
