“Even Unto Death”

I just discovered that Audrey Assad, a Christian artist, has recently released a new album. In an interview (link below) she shared about her Syrian heritage and how many have suffered for the cause of Christ. One of her songs entitled “Even Unto Death” is a beautiful, heart-wrenching song that focuses on following Christ and His glory. We have so many brothers and sisters around the world who are standing up for Christ at all costs. Many have lost their lives for His sake. This song is a tribute to them and to all who follow Christ even unto death.

“Even Unto Death” lyrics

Jesus
The very thought of You
It fills my heart with love
Jesus
You burn like wildfire
And I am overcome

Lover of my soul
Even unto death
With my every breath I will love You
Lover of my soul
Even unto death
With my every breath I will love You

Jesus
You are my only hope
And You, my prize shall be
Jesus
You are my glory now
And in eternity

Lover of my soul
Even unto death
With my every breath I will love You
Yeah, Lover of my soul
Even unto death
With my every breath I will love You

In my darkest hour
In humiliation
I will wait for You
I am not forsaken
Oh, I lose my life
Oh, my breath be taken
I will wait for You
I am not forsaken
One thing I desire
To see You in Your beauty

You are my delight
Yeah, You are my only
You have sacrificed
Oh, Your love is all consuming
You are my delight
Yeah, You are my glory
Oh, You are my glory
Oh, You are my glory
Yeah

You’re the lover of my soul
Even unto death
With my every breath I will love You
You’re the lover of my soul
Even unto death
With my every breath I will love You

I will love You
Even unto death, I will love You
With my every breath I will love You
Jesus
The very thought of You
Jesus
The very thought of You
