Saturday's Song - Oh, How He Loves Us

Picture from : The Blog Around The Corner

I love this song.

I first heard it on the ‘Passion’ Album and it is one of my most listen to songs.

The line I revel in is :

If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking

The imagery of sinking deeper and deeper into the infinite ocean of God’s grace is one I mediate on whilst relaxing away from life’s pressures.

The unmerited favor of God freely given to me through Jesus is far greater, deeper and vast than any ocean in creation.

And He is jealous from 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, oh

Oh, how He loves us, how He loves us all

And He is jealous from 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

Oh, how He loves, yeah, He loves us

Oh, how He loves us, oh, how He loves us

Oh, how He loves

And we are His portion and He is our prize

Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes

If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking
And heaven meets earth like an unforeseen 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

Oh, how He loves us, oh

Oh, how He loves us, how He loves all

Saturday's Song - Magnificent

I have been listening to Matt Redman and the wonderful song "Magnificent".

Just a brilliant song about the greatness of God and his glorious power within us

"Magnificent"

You show Your majesty
In every star that shines
And every time we breathe
Your glory, God, revealed
From distant galaxies
To here beneath our skin

You are higher than we ever could imagine
And closer than our eyes could ever see
You are...

[Chorus]
Magnificent, You alone are holy
No one else as glorious as You
Magnificent, Jesus You are worthy
Who can shine as brightly as You do?
Magnificent
You're so magnificent

You're lighting up our lives
Illuminate our hearts
With everything You are

You are higher than we ever could imagine
And closer than our eyes could ever see
You are...

[Chorus]
Magnificent, You alone are holy
No one else as glorious as You
Magnificent, Jesus You are worthy
Who can shine as brightly as You do?
Magnificent
You're so magnificent
Magnificent
You're so magnificent

You are higher than we ever could imagine
And closer than our eyes could ever see
We are pouring out our hearts here in Your presence

[Chorus]
Magnificent, You alone are holy
No one else as glorious as You
Magnificent, Jesus You are worthy
Who can shine as brightly as You do?
Magnificent
You're so magnificent
Magnificent
You're so magnificent
