This song was actually written backstage at an Easter sunrise service in Naples, Florida.
I was to play a short set for the service and I had arrived early for sound check. The venue was a kind of "bowl" affair; outdoors with an amphitheater kind of feel. After sound check, I was waiting for the event to begin, and I wandered backstage where I found an upright piano. I sat down at the piano and began to think about what this holiday really meant and a great sense of gratitude overwhelmed me. I thought about what Jesus had done at the cross, and then about the glory of the Resurrection, and ultimately what that means to the born again believer. Jesus actually lives in us! The words poured quickly onto the page and I went out that morning and performed the song for the first time. |
It has not gone down in my history as one of the most popular or requested songs, but I feel a great affection for it, and believe it to be one of my best.
