So much of Audrey’s Assad's first album is completed by it — the questions asked in The House You’re Building are answered in Heart. The lyrics are just as probing and provoking:
Don’t lie to yourself
O my Soul
Love your God
and:
Far off hymns and funeral marches
sound the same again
my ears are worn and weary strangers
in a strange land…
and all I am is breath and vapor
and shadow
and all I have is what I need
this I know
that I need a new song.
Her album is spectacular and maintains a Catholic spirit. She’s one of the very few “Christian artists” striving after beauty.
