There are lots of great opening songs that focus on attributes of God (his greatness, his faithfulness, his holiness, etc.) but not so many that focus explicitly on Christ. I wanted to write something in an up-tempo, contemporary style that carries the Christ-exalting richness of passages like Colossians 1 and Philippians 2. The three verses intertwine the story of our salvation with the story of Christ’s eternal glory, while the chorus lifts for a big, worshipping response.

This is not a worship song. It is a call to righteous action. Through history, to our day, the courageous (very often people of faith) have spoken up against tyranny, injustice, lies etc. Our God is a God of justice and truth and we can shrink back from confronting wrongdoing affecting society. I think we constantly need to be encouraged to say something.
