He does love us...

Well, I will allow my dad to fill you in on the details of what we are hearing from the doctors, but we have learned that Mom's cancer has spread to her liver and brain. They are planning to remove the spot in her brain on Wednesday, December 3rd. Until then, we are praying that the steroids she's taking will reduce the swelling in her brain caused by the cancer so that they may safely operate.

I want to share with you the lyrics to the song that reflects the title of our blog. As my dad said, it has given us a lot of hope during the tough times we've already had in the last couple months as we dealt with the news that the cancer has spread to her lympnodes. We are hoping to get the youtube site on here, so that you may hear the song, but the lyrics are as follows:

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 so

Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.

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 the 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.
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.

Lord, continue to let us feel your love.
