Audrey Assad | “Everything Is Yours”
I picked up the new Audrey Assad album yesterday. Its good.
When I listen to music, I tend to critique. I tend to pick a part lyrics, chord structure and most of all production/performance. Its easy to do. Most music today is thrown together or rehashed production from another album.
I love to listen to music that makes me think less about the production and more about the heart. I love it when the elements disappears and I just “hear” it.
Audrey’s songs do this.
In light of so many hurts right now (In friends and family), I was struck by one song immediately.
“Everything Is Yours”
When all the world is blossoming
When everything around is bursting into life
And I dont have to strain to hear the beat of Your heart
When all the world is under fire
The skies are threatening to thunder and rain
And I am overcome by fears that I cant see
If everything is Yours
Everything is Yours
If everything is Yours
Im letting it go
It was never mine to hold…
Who could command the stars to sing
Or hold the ranging seas from breaking through the doors
And tend the fragile roses with the very same hands
If everything is Yours
Everything is Yours
If everything is Yours
Im letting it go
Cause everything is Yours
Let it go
It was never mine to hold…
Yes. This is rocking the iPod right now #imnotashamed
