Epic Song - "For Love of You" by Audrey Assad

"For Love of You" is the opener to her debut album and serves as both an awesome mission statement for her budding vocation and as a heartfelt profession of faith. Two things really grabbed me about this song: the girl can sing and the girl can write. There is some real beautiful imagery captured in the lyric that I wasn't expecting from a first-timer.

I decided on putting a live version of the song she performed on K-LOVE to show that her voice is the real deal and not some invention of studio overdubbing magic.


"For Love Of You" (written by Audrey Assad and Ben Glover)

You live in a million places
Your fingerprints can be seen on a million faces
There is a trace of You in every hallelujah
Every song that I sing

For love of You, I'm a sky on fire
Because of You, I come alive
And it's Your sacred heart within me beating
Your voice within me singing out

For love of You, oh, for love of You
It's all for You, yeah

You are the highway I travel
'Cause I watched You carve streets of gold from the sand and gravel
I gave You brokeness, You gave innocence
And now, this road leads to glory

And for love of You, I'm a sky on fire
And because of You, I come alive
And it's Your sacred heart within me beating
Your voice within me singing out

For love of You,

You are my deepest longing and so I see You everywhere
It's You that I'm chasing after
'Cause I am captivated by who You are and how You move
I'll follow you forever

For love of You, I'm a sky on fire
Because of You, I come alive, yeah
For love of You, I'm a sky on fire
Because of You, I come alive

It's Your sacred heart within me beating
Your voice within me singing out
For love of You, oh, for love of You

It's all for love of You, God

And everything that I do
oh, it's all for love of You
You
