Behind the Song

I’ve found suffering, trials, and tests to be a crucial part of life. Nothing reveals your true self to you and everyone around you like suffering.

Our world is in a fallen state, and until our last breath, or the return of Christ, we will feel the weight of that reality and the calamity it brings. It is, however a glorious way of God that He can weave such calamity together in a way that Good would shine through all such evil.

With suffering, we quickly find out what we believe, where we’ve placed our trust, and what or whom we hope in most. Things about us that have potential to go undiscovered are tested and brought to light in order to be refined.

The world desperately needs to see those whose hope is not in earthly things. Those whose foundation remains firm, though the rain falls, the flood comes & the wind blows.

There is but one foundation that withstands & outlives all struggle & hardship, while promising to uphold you in the midst, and His name is Jesus. A life built upon Him ought not hide from the rain, as if to escape something that’s inevitable but rather dance in it, considering it joy as we are commanded to do. This song was made to make that a little easier.

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

- James 1:2-4
