Based on words someone said when explaining Isaiah 61. There is nothing that God considers garbage in our life or throws away. He fulfills His plans with us, makes beautiful things out of brokenness. A song to express hope in difficult situations and to praise God no matter what.
A sporting analogy song which echoes the words of 1 Tim 4:8, what training for Godliness is of more value that physical training, even though the latter has some value. Like the apostle Paul, we seek to run the race before us with endurance.

I'm often struck by New Year's resolutions and how we try hard in our own strength to improve ourselves but, all too often, end up failing. This song was written as a reminder that we have all we need in Christ who accomplished what we could not by conquering sin and death.
