Songfacts®:

  • The lead single from Speaking Louder Than Before, this song was inspired by two scriptures:

    Revelation 21:4. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

    Romans 8:18. "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."

    Jeremy Camp told NewReleaseToday: "I know, for me, there have been things in my life that have caused pain and have been difficult-—times where I wanted to give up and had no hope. But there's that promise God gives us, filled with hope of eternity, with no more suffering and no more pain. I know that we've all gone through trials and tribulations in our lives, but I want to encourage you through this song, the Scripture in Revelation and also in Romans 8:18, which inspired this song."
  • A choir was recorded singing the chorus and bridge. Camp recalled: "There was a lady in the choir who suffered from chronic pain. As she sang, she was truly experiencing the hope the Scripture speaks of, closing her eyes and raising her hands in worship, embracing the words that someday she won't experience the pain that she suffers with here on earth. It was a beautiful thing to see these words impacting someone before the song was even finished."
