"O how he loves us"

I'm listening to this song before I get ready for work, and I can't help but think back over my life. "O how he loves us" It's so amazing that despite everything His love is still so strong and amazing. I didn't get to go to service yesterday for Easter because I had to work, but in the morning before work I asked God to be with me all day. I just wanted to feel him. We have a morning devotion for the residents at the nursing home where I work, and we usually sing a couple of hymns at the end. Yesterday we sang "How Great Thou Art" and "Because He lives." In the middle of our singing I noticed several residents, family members, and staff with tears streaming down their faces. They were truly singing how great He is, and the atmosphere was so beautiful. Most of them have short term memories or alzheimer's disease. So today they may not remember yesterday at all, but I know I will. O how he loves us.
