The Order of Love
From the release: The Order of Love – EP
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every stream runs to the sea,
Every heart longs to be free,
Every star knows where to shine,
Every plan is by design.
[Pre-Chorus]
And every road that I’ve been on
Was leading me to You all along.
[Chorus]
The order of love,
From the heavens above,
To the earth and the heart below.
The order of love,
Is the law we’re dreaming of,
It’s the life we were made to know.
[Verse 2]
Every longing finds its home,
Every wanderer’s not alone,
Every joy and every tear
Has a place in the Kingdom here.
[Pre-Chorus]
And every road that I’ve been on
Was leading me to You all along.
[Chorus]
The order of love,
From the heavens above,
To the earth and the heart below.
The order of love,
Is the law we’re dreaming of,
It’s the life we were made to know.
[Guitar Solo – bright, fast, harmonized leads, 8 bars, ending with triumphant ascending run into final chorus]
[Bridge]
Put the highest first,
Let the rest disperse,
When the heart’s in place
It will see His face.
[Final Chorus]
The order of love,
From the heavens above,
To the earth and the heart below.
The order of love,
Is the law we’re dreaming of,
It’s the life we were made to know.
[Outro – Guitar harmony riff echoes the chorus melody, drums end on a crashing cymbal hit]
Song Meaning
“The Order of Love” gathers Augustine’s vision in On Order into the human heart. In On Order, the universe is not merely arranged like machinery; it is ordered toward God, wisdom, beauty, and blessed life. Augustine’s final movement is practical and prayerful: live well, seek God, be formed by faith, hope, and love, and ask not for passing things but for what makes the soul good and blessed. This song turns order into love’s law. Every stream running to the sea, every heart seeking freedom, and every longing finding its home becomes an image of desire returning to its proper source. The bridge says the heart must put the highest first. That is the emotional center of the track. The world becomes clearer when love is rightly ordered, and the soul finds life by being led back to God.
Song Inspiration
Saint Augustine’s On Order, especially its final movement toward good living, prayer, faith, hope, love, and the blessed life found when the soul is ordered toward God.
From the Source
Supporting passages from the Augustinus Vox Standard Version (AVSV). Select a source to read it in context.
Philosophy's inquiry is twofold: one part concerns the soul and the other God. The first brings it about that we know ourselves; the second, that we know our origin. The former is sweeter to us, the latter dearer; the former makes us worthy of the blessed life, the latter makes us blessed.
Let us pray, then, not that wealth, honors, or things of this kind—fluid, wavering, and passing away in the face of any resistance—may come to us, but that those things may come which make us good and blessed.
