Love's like a hurricane

Last Sunday at church we were having worship time and started singing a song that--until quite recently--I hadn't adored as a do now. But the last several times I have sung it, I have found myself deeply touched by this love song. Literally, it is a love song. A ballad about My King's great love for me, and it gets me. I get it. Whatever the case, it's beautiful, and if you don't know it, you need to listen to it and remedy that right now.

.

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.



Chorus:
Oh, how He loves us 
Oh, Oh,
How He loves us,
How He loves us, Oh.

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.

Chorus again

And we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes.


If His love 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

That He loves us,
Oh, how He loves us
Oh how He loves us,
Yeah, He loves us....



Happy Valentine's Day, Everybody!

  3. So...are you an "unforseen" or a "wet sloppy" kind of girl? ;-) I personally love it when a church sings the latter, but it's a rare thing these days.

    1. Unforeseen because it fits better with the music and the other lyrics. Wet Sloppy is too...sudden and casual for the song.
