This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God. I John 4:10 The Message
Ever so often there is a song that is the right song with the right words for the right time. This song has been that kind of song for me right now. It is amazing how the Lord does that. This song has been out for over 2 years but it recently has been covered by Kim Walker, Hillsong United and now David Crowder Band has just released it. It is being sung in churches everywhere right now. It has been a huge blessing to me as I have encounter the love of God afresh and anew. These lyrics have so impacted my thinking that I thought it would be a good source of encouragement as I blog each line of each verse. Taking a line at a time. I trust you enjoy this as much as I will. And I pray that the love of our Lord be an ever increasing wave that washes over you day after day.

And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
Verse 2:
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…
