This is a song that's been pulling on my heart strings lately. It's pretty simple. The chorus repeats in perfect harmony "oh how he loves us so, oh how he loves us."
And I can't get over the poetic beauty of the two choruses. Remembering the verse in the Bible which reads, "God is a jealous God."

And how great Your affections are for me.
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.
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…
