It's all to easy to despair if we star too long at the world's problems. This song is a prayer to ask God to renew his great deeds in our day - to remember mercy and bring revival.
It is a comforting realization that God does not abandon us during our darkest hours. Instead, during our most painful trials, He is carrying us. This song is about trusting in God.
This simple song serves an opportunity to realign ourselves with God's gracious rescue. Our daily experience of destructive decisions is a story we all find ourselves in. But it is only a passing page in The Story of our Father's extravagant grace. Losing our place in his story of grace will always lead us deeper into death at the hands of the religion we crave to make ourselves okay - and religion never changed anyone's heart for the better!
The Story that Jesus has invited us into is one of grace, not religion; it transforms the shameful burden of a servant into the joyful song of a child. It's time for us to remember our new existence is one of nothing but grace.
