Lyrics of How He Loves - John Mark Mcmillan

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

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

So 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 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

He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves

Well, I thought about You the day
Stephen died and You met me
Between my breaking
I know that I still love You
God, despite the agony

They want to tell me You're cruel
But if Stephen could sing
He'd say it's not true, 'cause

'Cause 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

In 2002, he released his debut album Hope Anthology, Volume 1. In 2005 he released The Song Inside the Sounds of Breaking Down, which included the track "How He Loves". The song was successful despite the album's independent release, and has been covered by several well-known artists within the Christian music industry (David Crowder Band, Kim Walker, Jared Anderson, Todd Agnew, New Breed, Flyleaf, The Glorious Unseen, Hillsong Music Australia, Kari Jobe, Diante do Trono, Ana Paula Valadão). The song has sentimental meaning for McMillan, who wrote it following the death of a dear friend who, during a church staff meeting, prayed out loud "If it would shake the youth of a nation, I will give my life today." McMillan was awakened in the middle of the same night by a phone call; the friend had been killed in a car crash. He wrote "How He Loves" the next morning as, "a celebration of a God who would want to hang with us...despite who we are".The song took more than a year to surface in the Christian mainstream, but has gone on to become a commonly played worship song on Christian radio and throughout church organizations.

He was briefly associated with Integrity Music and released The Medicine and re-released The Song Inside The Sounds of Breaking Down through them. Source: Wikipedia
