“How He Loves” is a very powerful song, that has gained a lot of popularity in the last year. It’s a very simple and honest song, that sounds like a man simply talking to God. It has moments where it is unrefined, it’s not intended to be a perfect prayer, rather a real conversation. It’s truthful and heartfelt. This song has been covered a few times, and some of the lyrics changed with each iteration, but the original version, as written by John Mark McMillan is the version we like to sing at Cornerstone. Here is the author himself telling the story behind the song, where it came from, and what it means to him.
