Songfacts®:

  • This song, written by Jo Dee Messina with Full Circle Music producers Seth Mosley and X O Connor, was inspired by her battle with cancer.

    "In the summer of 2017, I was facing struggles with my health, personal life and finances. It seemed like everything was crashing in around me," Messina said. "My heart was really moved, not to focus on the chaos of life, but the bigness of God. At that point and from that place of praise and worship came this song."
