Verse 1

I love You more than a slow-falling summer rain

More than a 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 spring in its blooming against the sky

 I love You more

Chorus 1

 It may not be red as the roses yet

 It may not be strong as the old oak trees but

Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to be

Verse 2

Your love is steady and sure as the mountains 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

Chorus 2

 And it may not be clear as the morning yet

 It may not be wide as a restless sea but

Love given freely becomes what it ought to be

Verse 3

 It may not be clear as the morning yet

 It may not be wide as a restless sea

 And it may not be red as the roses 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
