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
And for love of You, I'm a sky on fire
And 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 You, yeah
You are the highway I travel
'Cause I watched You carve streets of gold from the sand and gravel
I gave You brokenness, You gave me 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, yeah
You are my deepest longing and so I see You everywhere
It's You I'm chasin' 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
Oh, so, for love of You, God
And everything I do
Oh, so, for the love of You, You
"For Love Of You" by Audrey Assad is a beautiful song that captures the essence of the Christian faith and the deep love we have for our Savior. With her soothing voice and heartfelt lyrics, Assad takes us on a journey of devotion and surrender to God.
The song begins by acknowledging that God is omnipresent, His fingerprints can be seen everywhere, and His love can be felt in every aspect of our lives. This idea is beautifully expressed in the lyrics, "You live in a million places, Your fingerprints can be seen on a million faces." It reminds us that God is not distant or detached, but intimately involved in every detail of our lives.
One verse that comes to mind when listening to this song is Psalm 139:7-10, which says, "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast." This verse reinforces the message of the song, that God is with us always, and His love is constant and unwavering.
The chorus of the song declares our response to God's overwhelming love. It says, "For love of You, I'm a sky on fire, and because of You, I come alive." This imagery of being a sky on fire emphasizes the passion and zeal that is ignited within us when we encounter the love of God. It is a reminder that our love for God should be all-consuming and life-giving.
The bridge of the song beautifully expresses our deepest longing for God. It says, "You are my deepest longing and so I see You everywhere, it's You I'm chasing after." This echoes the words of Psalm 42:1-2, which says, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?" This verse reminds us that our hearts were created to long for God, and nothing in this world can satisfy that longing except for Him.
The song "For Love Of You" is a powerful reminder of the love and devotion we have for God. It encourages us to seek His presence in every aspect of our lives and to respond to His love with passion and zeal. Through its heartfelt lyrics and beautiful melodies, this song draws us closer to God and reminds us of His constant presence and unwavering love.
Overall, "For Love Of You" is a deeply meaningful song that resonates with those who long to love and serve God with their whole being. Audrey Assad's beautiful voice and poetic lyrics create a space for reflection and surrender. This song serves as a reminder of the depth of God's love for us and the profound impact it has on our lives. It is a beautiful expression of the Christian faith and a call to live a life of devotion and love for our Savior.
