He is jealous for me...
STOP RIGHT THERE!
Stop singing for a second. Yeah, I do notice that we only finished the first line. That’s because that first line totally wrecks.
Do you remember your first crush? Maybe you were in junior high school, or elementary school, or wherever. I’m talking about the first person your age who totally made your heart go pitter-patter.
Remember how you felt the first time you ever saw that person talking to someone else? Maybe they were even laughing? And it looked to you like your chance with that person was completely gone?
Remember how that felt?
THAT IS HOW GOD.
FEELS.
ABOUT.
YOU.
Close your eyes for a minute and take a deep breath and think about it for a second. I’’ll wait right here until you get back.

OK, done?
Now, go ahead and sing the rest. If you can!
He is jealous for me.
Love’s like a hurricane, and 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, oh!
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 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 He loves us!
Oh how He loves us!
Oh how He loves us!
Oh how He loves!
