Writing and development
Jenn Johnson had an interview with Kevin Davis, lead contributor at NewReleaseToday about the song and the inspiration behind it. Davis asked about the personal story behind the song, to which Johnson responded saying:
A year and half ago, Brian was really going through a tough time, and it unraveled and he ended up having a nervous breakdown. ... It was a really difficult time, and God really helped him to deal with things like forgiveness and some tough meetings with people at that time. It was a beautiful, although terrible, time. Lamentations [3:28-30] says, "the 'worst' is never the worst." That was the verse that I hung onto.
Jenn Johnson, NewReleaseToday
Johnson also added that the song "felt like it was such a message and prophetic statement," and also "felt like God promised that if I wrote this song it would save people, and even people thinking of suicide can be filled with hope, even though we don't know what tomorrow holds." She also listed several scriptural references from various translations to affirm the song's message.
