Lyrics of
How He Loves

How He Loves was composed by John Mark McMillan in 2005 following the unexpected death of his close friend, Stephen Coffey. Coffey had prayed, Id give my life today if it would shake the youth of the nation. Later that evening, he was in a fatal car accident. McMillan penned the song as an expression of grief but also as a revelation of the love and kindness of God amidst profound sadness.

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.

And oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.

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.

And oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.
Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, 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 ha ha
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

That, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves (yeah, yeah)
Yeah (x9)
Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, He loves us
He loves us
He loves us (ha ha)
Yeah

His presence His love is so thick and tangible in this room tonight. And

Woah, how He loves us
