how he loves us

i first heard this song at The Call 7-7-07 in Nashville - we had been out in the blazing sun all morning and afternoon, fasting, not much water, worshipping, jumping around, praying intensely, so at one point I laid down to take a power nap. When I woke up 20-30 minutes later, everyone around me was bawling...quite a strange thing to wake up to. Took me a while to figure out that John Mark McMillan had just finished playing and telling the story behind this song...very moving - I can't find a video of him telling it but if you know of one send it along!

i love this song for its childlike simplicity. i'm playing off off jesus culture/kim walker's version - i think their plucking pattern is on a electric guitar with some kind of repeat pedal on, but i translated it to an acoustic picking pattern, with a slight alteration in the bass

first song recorded actually in the stairwell!

    I was gonna put it on my iPod, but I don't think you actually uploaded the file...
