it’s not my fault okay. the fact that I may possibly bring myself to severe hearing loss and vocal strain due to this song as my voice is all ready tired from leading worship this sunday. BUT it’s impossible to sing this song soft. although it’s possible to listen to it softly, it’s just pathetically WRONG to do so and you in fact may not love God if you play this song soft :). this is one of those "meant to be cranked freakin loud" songs.
i blame noelle and brad … they are the ones who exposed me to this incredibly anointed song from jesus culture, a ministry out of Bethel Church in Redding, CA. please go buy the album on itunes , search kim walker "we cry out". i just bought it and i must say this is one of the best worship albums i have heard in a really long time...thank you kim walker for this remake as your version is way better than the original, no offense john mark mcmillan..but dude she just brought your song up about 100 levels!!!
the arrangement is powerful. they actually sing the chorus after the first verse, but as far as I’m concerned, the shift into overdrive happens around 3:10 in the song where kim walker takes it up an octave and belts this chorus over and over. i sat on my couch balling my head off experiencing the LOVE OF GOD again. i am truly and deeply moved by how much HE loves me. and it only reaffirms my heart to get people knowing the real God who loves them!!!
confession: I could totally do without the “sloppy wet kiss” line in the 2nd verse. although I can appreciate the creativity of the writer because i would've never thought of that line myself, the analogy doesn’t work for me and, well, is kind of weird. no, i’m not opposed to that kind of reference, or i’d surely tear “song of solomon” out of my bible …it just doesn’t work for me, but whatever. i can't wait to do this song at our church, but i'm not sure if that lyric will fly, so, i’ll either change the 2nd verse, or change the lyrics a bit .. i hate to scrap the verse because “I don’t have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way He loves us ..” is an AMAZING lyric!
thank you noelle again for showing me this song. thank you GOD for showing me once again that you love me so much...i am truly in complete awe of what you've done for me and how much you have made me feel your unwavering love...it is my life's goal to give this love to other people...and i will live the rest of my life displaying Your love to others...
oh how you love us!!!

I just bought the album myself and couldn't agree. It is exactly what we talked about. Hey, let's plan a trip to Bethel in the next couple of weeks.

Wes! Don't tease us... it's no longer available on YouTube.
And I think Brad means he couldn't agree MORE. :)
