Lyrics
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 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
Oh, oh, oh, oh
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 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
Oh, oh, oh, oh
He loves 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 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
No 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
Yeah He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves
He loves us
With all His heart
He loves us
Gave His own
He loves us

Meaning & Inspiration
How He Loves Us dwells on divine love that overwhelms fear, regret, and affliction. Its storm imagery portrays mercy as immense and difficult to resist, while the repeated chorus keeps attention on the simple claim that God loves his people. The lyric moves between personal amazement and a shared confession, describing grace as the force that draws people toward redemption and changes how past failures are regarded.
The language of belonging, prize, and redemption recalls biblical descriptions of a people claimed by God and restored through grace. Although several images are deliberately dramatic, their purpose is consistent: suffering and regret appear smaller when set beside divine affection. The final lines connect that love with self-giving, which places the song near the New Testament teaching that Gods love is demonstrated through Christ. Repetition gives the declaration room to function as both worship and assurance.
