“Oh How He Loves You and Me” by Kurt Kaiser

Oh how He loves you and me
Oh how He loves you and me
He gave His life, what more could He give?
Oh how He loves you, oh how He loves me
Oh how He loves you and me

Dear God, I haven’t heard this song in a while, but a friend posted a video from a service he went to last night at Baylor for homecoming and they were singing this song.

It’s a lovely tune and the lyrics are simple. I guess the crux of the song is the question embedded in the middle: “He gave his life. What more could He give?” Really, it’s pretty simple. You gave your life. What more could you give? You gave cane to earth as an example for my instruction and then gave it for my ransom. Really, what more could you have done?

Father, thank you. I probably owe you so many more thank yous than I give you. And although I’ve tried to give you my life in return I know I fail at that too. So I’m sure that in a normal relationship I would owe you a bunch of I’m sorries as well. But this isn’t a normal relationship because you gave your life. Yes, I still need to confess my sin to you regularly–more regularly than I do–but in the end your blood covers me. Which leads me back to thank you.

In Jesus’ name I pray,

Amen
