Honestly, this song flowed out. We were in that room for about 10-12 hours, so, for me, this writing session is actually one of the defining writing moments of my life because more than it was a tool of ministry for someone else, I was singing that to myself and I think this song, as I believe it will change people’s lives, it has changed mine.}}
