Description
Worship leader and songwriter Cory Asbury has crafted a powerful
new album that marks his first release as a Bethel Music artist
and his second full-length release to date. For Cory, the album is an
organic, soulful journey into the heart of the Father, and certainly his
most personal and honest yet. A collection of 10 songs, “Reckless
Love” is a whole-hearted telling of an essential story in Scripture: a
Father’s desire for connection with the ones he made, knows, and
relentlessly loves. Known for his versatile and soulful sound, Cory’s
vocals convey greater resolve and vulnerability than ever before
throughout each of these acoustic-driven songs. In it’s entirety,
“Reckless Love” is about finding identity in God and being found by
Him- fully and finally. The album’s title track depicts the parable of
the lost sheep found in Matthew 18 with contagious passion, “Oh the
overwhelming never-ending reckless love of God / Oh it chases me
down, fights ‘till I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine / I don’t deserve
it / I couldn’t earn it, still You give yourself away…” Inspired by
encounters with the Father’s love Asbury has experienced, together
these songs testify of sonship, the liberty we have as children of God,
and the pride that the Father has carried for humanity since the
Garden. This album aims all of its attention toward the truth that the
Father’s company is the best place be, and His voice is the most
familiar one we know. “Reckless Love” is like unearthing a map that
leads back home, and will take worshippers into a place of rest, peace
and identity in the smile of the Father over their life.
