Coming out of Passion 2011, one song really stuck with me: How He Loves. It's a beautiful song. The music rises as if it were an anthem and then it falls to a quiet peace. The words to the chorus are simple, yet they carry so much power with them; they scream passion.
Oh how he loves us so
Oh how he loves us
How he loves us so.
This kind of love just makes the way we love look like trash. As McMillan states in the video, our God loves the messy. He loves us when we are hurting, frustrated, angry, discontent. You don't need an orderly life in order to experience this kind of love. I encourage you to watch the video below. It is about the back story of the song How He Loves which was originally written by John Mark McMillan (the man in this film). You'll come to learn that this song was written as a celebration of weakness and a celebration of a God who will endure the hardships with you. This video will change the way you worship with this song-it sure did for me.
