Audrey Assad's 'Slow' is a contemplative Christian song about the quiet, patient nature of faith and love. Rather than a dramatic fire, faith is described as a gentle glow that provides steady hope. The lyrics reflect on how God's presence can feel subtle yet intimate, and how love—both divine and human—moves at a deliberate, unhurried pace. The song encourages listeners to embrace this slow movement, trusting that God's love is enough to sustain them through weariness. It resonates with themes of surrender and trust in God's timing.

You've drawn so close that it's hard to see you
And you speak so softly that it's hard to hear you
And I guess that's what I get for inviting you in
Because you took me at my word
And now I know
Faith is not a fire
As much as it's a glow
A quiet lovely burning
Underneath the snow
And it's not too much
It's just enough to give me hope
Cause love moves slow
Love moves slow
You've grown so dear that it's hard to miss you
And you come so near that it's hard to feel you
Oh, and I guess that's how it is when I let you move
Because you take me at my word
Oh, and now I know
That faith is not a fire
As much as it's a glow
A steady humble lamplight
In the window
And it's not too much
It's just enough to give me hope
'Cause love moves slow
Love moves slow
I heard that faith moves mountains
I know it moves my feet
To follow you
And maybe I'm a mountain
Because it's moving me
To follow you
My faith is not a fire
As much as it's a glow
A little burning ember
In my weary soul
And it's not too much
It's just enough to give me hope
Because your love moves slow
Yeah, your love moves slow
So I move slow
Because you move slow
Love moves slow
Let's move slow.
