Keith and I are overwhelmed with the response this song has had, and we are just grateful to God that He should use it to build up His church in this way. I wanted to write a fourth verse that was about us – but not just as an emotional response, but as a undeniable statement of the power of Christ to sustain us in this life. The verses came in a fairly linear way, but as the third verse developed, I was getting pretty excited as I thought about the amazing implications of Christ’s finished work on the cross. The only thing I could think was to base it on the eternal theme of the life, death and resurrection of Christ. And I began to feel the pressure to write lyrics that were of a comparable standard! And the first melody on it really hit me – it was tuneful and memorable, and yet had gravitas and real emotion.
