Music Inspired by The Story

My heart has been completely shellacked by a new CD that my brother shared with me. I have been broken and rebuilt; I have cried and rejoiced; the veil that unfortunately exists every so often in my relationship with Christ has been removed and I am seeing him and praising him for His story…for THE STORY. Care to take a listen?

What it ought to be…

Dear Brooks,

The words from Audrey Assad’s song “What it ought to be” are going to help me share with you how much I love you.

_________________________________________________________________

I love you more than a slow-falling summer rain
More than a silence that only the snow leaves behind
I love you more

And I love you better than the gray of the autumn air
Better than spring in its blooming against the sky
I love you more

It may not be red as the roses yet
It may not be strong as the old oak trees but
Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to be

Your love is steady and sure as the mountains high
Moving my heart like a river that gently bends
Your love is sure

Your love is wide open spaces where I can run
And yet, we’re tangled up roots in the warm broken earth
Yeah, our love is sure

And it may not be clear as the morning yet
It may not be wide as a restless sea but
Love given freely becomes what it ought to be

It may not be clear as the morning yet
It may not be wide as a restless sea
And it may not be red as the roses yet
It may not be strong as the old oak trees but

Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to and
Hearts given freely becomes what they ought to
Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to be
What it ought to be
