The Story Behind the Song

"I used to sing in the University Choir at Arkansas Tech. One day during choir class, our director came in looking sad.

For the rest of the class period, I went to one of the practice rooms and sat down at the piano with some paper, and the whole song came out of me within minutes. It felt instant like it was from God..."
