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
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.
Chorus
Yeah 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.
I don't have time to make take these regrets when I think about
The way...
Chorus
Yeah He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves
Yeah Yeah!
Hey yeah
Chorus
Yeah He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves
Yeah He loves us
He loves us
He loves us
Chorus
Yeah He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves
His love is goin' deep
His love is goin' deep tonight
His love is goin' deep tonight
See the Father
Behold the Father
Behold the Father

Meaning & Inspiration
“How He Loves” dwells on the overwhelming character of divine love through a series of expansive images. A hurricane, a bending tree, an ocean of grace, and glory eclipsing affliction all describe love that exceeds ordinary measurement. The lyric does not present grace as distant or theoretical. Redemption draws the worshiper near, regret loses its claim on attention, and the Father becomes the central object of contemplation.
The declaration that believers are God’s portion while he is their prize expresses belonging in both directions. Its language can be read alongside Paul’s prayer that believers grasp the breadth and depth of Christ’s love, even though that love surpasses knowledge. The repeated chorus keeps the song’s theology simple: God’s love is the reason for wonder, security, and praise. Later calls to behold the Father shift the emphasis from emotional response to God’s identity. Across its vivid imagery and repetition, the song portrays grace as abundant, redemptive, and personally present without reducing suffering to an easy answer.
