Story Behind The Song
Eric and I would meet every Wednesday to brainstorm team-building ideas as well as set vision for our church's Programming Arts Department. We were at the piano in the junior high room one day when we were suddenly inspired to just worship God out of a place of thanksgiving (we'd have a lot of those "suddenly" moments during these meetings).
With hearts filled with thanksgiving for all that God had done for us up until this point, the words just began to flow. The song was finished there in that setting.
