Audrey Assad's 'Yellow' is a cover of Coldplay's love song, reimagined with a gentle, worshipful tone. The lyrics express deep admiration and devotion, using stars and the color yellow as symbols of beauty and worth. While the original is a romantic ballad, Assad's rendition can be heard as a metaphor for God's love and sacrifice, with lines about bleeding oneself dry echoing Christ's passion. The song's reflective mood and themes of love and dedication make it suitable for personal worship or contemplation, though it is not explicitly Christian in its original intent.

Look at the stars; look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah they were all yellow
I came along, I wrote a song for you and all the things you do
And it was called "Yellow"
So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done, and it was all yellow
Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know, you know I love you so
You know I love you so
I swam across, I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line, I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know
For you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry
It's true
Look how they shine for you; Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for; Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you; Look how they shine
Look at the stars; Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do
