David Crowder - How He Loves



I really wish I could embed this video but the powers that be with DC*B have decided to disable the embedding code. You can click HERE to view this awesome video on YouTube.


Before you view the video though I thought I'd share a little about the song itself from Wikipedia (I love that site):
How He Loves is a song by independent artist John Mark McMillan for his second studio album, The Song Inside the Sound of Breaking Down. The song was successful despite the album's independent release, and has been covered by several well-known artists within the Christian music industry (David Crowder* BandKim WalkerTodd AgnewNew BreedFlyleafThe Glorious Unseen). The song has sentimental meaning for McMillan, who wrote it following the death of a dear friend who, during a church staff meeting, prayed out loud "If it would shake the youth of a nation, I will give my life today." McMillan was awakened in the middle of the same night by a phone call; the friend had been killed in a car crash. He wrote How He Loves the next morning as,"A celebration of a God who would want, to hang with us...despite who we are". The song took more than a year to surface in the Christian mainstream, but has gone on to become a commonly played worship song on Christian radio and throughout church organizations.

This song has been such a blessing to me and my family and I hope to pass that blessing on to you.
The David Crowder* Band does such a fantastic job of capturing the emotion (especially if you play the record/video incredibly loud) and the video has some great "special effects" that you won't want to miss.
My favorite part is the end...our spirits crying out to God's Spirit. At least that's what I see at the end. 


Thanks to the DC*B for this video and JMM for writing such a powerful lyric.
