The Order of Love – August Metal Version
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 – August Metal Version” presents Augustine’s vision in On Order with greater force, weight, and urgency. The heavier arrangement emphasizes that rightly ordering the heart is not passive or effortless. Human desire is often divided, restless, and drawn toward lesser things as though they were ultimate. Augustine calls the soul toward discipline, wisdom, and a life directed toward God. The powerful guitars and intensified rhythm turn that inward struggle into sound. Yet the song’s message remains hopeful: every longing has a true destination, and every road can be redirected toward its source. The force of the performance reflects the strength required to put the highest first. Love becomes ordered when God is recognized as the supreme good, allowing every lesser love to find its proper place.
Song Inspiration
Saint Augustine’s On Order, especially its call to discipline disordered desire, seek wisdom, and place God above every lesser good so that love may be rightly ordered.
From the Source
Supporting passages from the Augustinus Vox Standard Version (AVSV). Select a source to read it in context.
Let them worship, contemplate, and seek God, supported by faith, hope, and love.
This discipline is itself the law of God. Remaining fixed and unshaken with him always, it is copied, as it were, into wise souls, so that they know that they live better and more nobly to the degree that they contemplate it more perfectly through understanding and guard it more diligently by living.
