How He Loves

Check out this song!!
Janice let me hear David Crowder's version this song when we were travelling up to KL for the Malaysian leg of "Homecoming". Liang tagged me this video on YouTube performed by the original songwriter, John Mark McMillan. This live version is the bomb and it really gave me a great spiritual awakening - the kind I have not felt in a long time. I savoured the moment I was watched it for the first time because tears were welling in my eyes and I could totally relate to the words that John was singing. Words like "afflictions eclipsed by glory" and my favourite is the entire 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 He loves us"

WOAH! What a song!! I learned it on the guitar almost immediately. Just 4 chords. Simple but effective! What an inspiration. Helped me to look forward to the new day with a renewed spirit. It helped me articulate the words I longed to tell God in my prayers. What great timing! Wow Wee!!
