Thats probably my favorite line from any song ever. I love it. There is something about my soul coming alive that seems so beautiful. I think that comes from the fact that it would be Father moving in me for my soul to come alive, at least the type of alive I long to feel.
Sunday morning after a man named John Herring (former college/young adults pastor at FBC) preached Jake Kornegay got up and played this song. I've always enjoyed listening and worshiping with Jake while he plays. I think a lot of the reason for that is that I know Jake and I know his heart and I hear the passion in him while he sings. This time was a little different than normal. It was just Jake and his guitar and some sort of effects type pedal thingy. (as you can tell I work a lot with musical technology) I've seen someone use this type of equiptment before and its really cool. Jake started out by playing a few notes on his guitar over and over then he hit one of the pedals and it would repeat what he did over and over then he tapped out a rhythm on his guitar and recorded that for it to play over and over. This is a great way to create your own band with just a piece of medal. So he played and sang. This song was moving. I could feel my heart in my chest. I closed my eyes and danced with my Father. It was awesome. Take some time to listen. The truth of the song is so awesome. Go to youtube.com and type in How He Loves Us and it will the the first one that comes us by Kim Walker. Listen to the words.
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 aflictions eclipsed by glory
and I realize just how beautiful you are and
how great your effections are for me
Oh, How he loves us Oh
oh how he loves us
how he loves us oh
yeah, he love us
oh how he loves us
oh how he loves us
oh how he loves
We are his portion and he is our prize
drawn to redeption 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
and I don't have time to maintain these regreats
when I think about the way...
He loves us
oh how he loves us
oh how he loves us
oh how he loves
yeah he loves us
oh how he loves us
oh how he loves us
oh how he loves
How awesome is that? I think I need a constant reminder that he loves me no matter what. I really like the part where it says "I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way...He loves us" Sometimes I stop and think about 'well maybe if I would have just...' and it doesn't really matter...He loves us oh how he loves us. All of that becomes nothing when I'm reminded that he loves me. He loves me so much. This song makes me want to dance around the room and prise Father for love he has for me that is so much more than I could ever imagine.
Something else dawned on me Sunday as Chris and I were walking into Village Foods to stock up on Kool-aid. It came from a very funny moment that happend about 3 minutes prior. We were driving and talking about the future and money. Chris made the comment that if he is going to be a minister he wouldn't be making a whole lot of money. My hope is that one day I will have my own restraunt and that is will be a good place and make a good amount of money because of the possibilites of what we could do with that money. The mission trips we could send kids on and the organizations we could pour into. How cool would that be. But we were talking and I made the comment that I'm going to need to make decient money if we are going to adopt 12 kids. Chris's face and remark were so funny. I laughed the rest of the way to the grocery store. and I laughed hard. He kinda just sat there and went "ough...don't you think we could be good with like 9 or 10?" I don't know that I've ever seen him speachless like that...after I regained myself he said if we are suppose to adopt 12 kids we will...if we are suppose to adopt more we will...(oh how I love my husband) and I know he means it. My desire to adopt is so big. My heart hurts for kids that don't have a mom and dad and brother and sisters to fight with. For some reason growing up and now, when it comes to mission trips I was never worried about where the money would come from I just knew it would come. I feel the same way about adoption. Some people like to continually tell me how expensive it will be but I know...the money will come. One of my biggest struggles with moving to Scottsdale is the amount of money we need to have saved in the little amount of time before we leave. I've stressed over this. Well at some point during our very interesting conversation about adopting our team Father spoke softly to me. I love it when he does that. I love it even more when I realize there is no way I came up with that idea by myself and I know he is speaking...For so long I've just trusted this money would come for me or my family to drive across the states to play with kids or to go across the world to love on some beautiful kids or even to bring kids into my home and raise them...but yet I stress over money to move? I feel like Father has set Scottsdale up for us. He has prepared this for us and he isn't going to prepare something for us and then not provide for what he has for us. The money will come. I just know it will now. I don't know how but I know he has a plan. We will save and we will have a garage sale and we will do all we can and somehow...it will come.
OH HOW HE LOVES US!
