I love finding new, different worship songs. Each one is kind of like discovering a treasure.
A few weeks ago I found one that I think is incredible. It's called How He Loves Us by John Mark McMillan. I'm not sure if I am going to use it for worship at the church I'm at, but I definitely have been using it for times of personal worship.
Here are the lyrics:
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.
Oh, how he loves us so,
Oh, how he loves us,
How he loves us so.
So 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,
Oh how he loves us,
Oh how he loves us,
Oh how he loves.
He loves us,
Oh how he loves us,
Oh how he loves us,
Oh how he loves.
When I first heard it, the whole "sloppy wet kiss" part really bothered me, but I've decided that it's okay to be uncomfortable in worship sometimes.
Here is the song done by Kim Walker and Jesus Culture. I think it's an excellent rendition.
And if you want to see something that will blow you away (at least it did me, I lost it watching this), take a look at how another church used the song.

I was impressed with the first video esp. the female singer (I loved her alto voice) but the second video was definitely worth watching...I don't know how anyone can watch that and not be moved to tears.
Oh man. Thanks for the early morning cry! We did the sign thing at our church one time and it was amazing. Great song, too.
I loved this video. I think that all churches should be willing to know each other is this light. Then true fellowship and accountability could be practiced.
You'd have to be one brave pastor to do this in this day and age. Hope I have the strength to do the same.
