Ought to Be Lyrics

I love you more than a slow falling summer rain
Or in the 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 the spring in it's blooming against the sky
I love you more

It may not be red as a rose is 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 a mountain's 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 a morning yet
It may not be wide as a restless sea
But love given freely becomes what it ought to be


And it may not be clear as a morning yet
It may not be wide as a restless sea
And it may not be red as a rose is yet
It may not be strong as the old oak trees
But love planted deeply becomes what it ought to and
Hearts given freely become what they ought to and
Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to be
What it ought to be

Singer/songwriter Audrey Assad, originally from New Jersey and most recently Florida, weaved her captivating voice into a thread of contemplative yet accessible music on her first EP release, Firefly, produced by Paul Moak (Mat Kearney, tobyMac, Matt Maher). Embracing partnerships with Campus Crusade for Christ, Life Teen and worshiptogether.com, Audrey continues to reach youth and young adults while being intentional and passionate about luring the cerebral sense of the mature adult looking to explore the theology and faith via music. Audrey played over 100 dates in North America that year and penned many a tune alongside a noteworthy list of writers that include Matt Maher, Philip LaRue, Marc Byrd, Sarah Hart and Paul Moak. Her debut album on Sparrow Records, The House You’re Building, was released in the summer of 2010 to much acclaim. The Sparrow Songfacts reports that it was named Amazon.com’s “Best Christian Music of 2010” and the Christian Breakthrough Album of the Year on iTunes. You can also hear her vocal musings on several cuts for Matt Maher's Alive Again and her song "Winter Snow" featured on Chris Tomlin's Christmas record.

Her sophomore album, Heart, was released on February 14, 2012. Marshall Altman (Natasha Bedingfield, Marc Broussard) produced both sets.
