He is jealous for me.

I have an amazing husband. Every night he comes into Asher's room, reads him a story, and then we sing and play the guitar. Most of the time it's a very very silly time. Last night, I think it was for me. I've been so discouraged and angry about so many things in regards to God recently. Both things about what God allows to happen, as well as how so many of his "followers" act in hate and stupidity.
This song has always been a favorite of ours. Thank you, Tyler, for bringing this song up when I needed it most. Thank you for reminding me how God loves.


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 realise 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 all

Yeah, He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,

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 unforseen 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?
