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
HOW HE LOVES US SO
HOW HE LOVES US
HOW HE LOVES US ALL
HE LOVES US
HOW HE LOVES US
HOW HE LOVES US
HOW HE LOVES
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
HOW HE LOVES US
HOW HE LOVES US
HOW HE LOVES
Well, I thought about You the day Stephen died
And You met me between my breaking
I know that I still love You, God, despite the agony
…They want to tell me You’re cruel
But if Stephen could sing, he’d say it’s not true, cause
HE LOVES US
HOW HE LOVES US
HOW HE LOVES US
HOW HE LOVES
EVEN WHEN THE RAIN FALLS
EVEN WHEN THE FLOOD STARTS RISING
EVEN WHEN THE STORM COMES
I AM WASHED BY THE WATER
Daddy was a preacher
She was his wife
Just tryin to make the world a little better
You know, shine a light
People started talking
Trying to hear their own voice
Those people tried to accuse my father
Said he made the wrong choice
Though it might be painful
You know that time will always tell
Those people have long since gone
My father never failed
EVEN WHEN THE RAIN FALLS
EVEN WHEN THE FLOOD STARTS RISING
EVEN WHEN THE STORM COMES
I AM WASHED BY THE WATER
Even if the Earth crumbles under my feet
Even if the ones I love turn around and crucify me
I won’t never ever let you down
I won’t fall
I won’t fall
I won’t fall as long as you’re around me
Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don’t turn away
Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I’m not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run
I’LL BE BY YOUR SIDE
WHEREVER YOU FALL
IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
WHENEVER YOU CALL
AND PLEASE DON’T FIGHT
THESE HANDS THAT ARE HOLDING YOU
MY HANDS ARE HOLDING YOU
Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world’s sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life
Cause I love you
I want you to know
That I love you
I’ll never let you go
