can use it in moments of worship , but it also speaks to the journey that I ’ ve been on . As we age in faith there ’ s ups and downs , and I ’ ve referred to myself many times in this process as a recovering deconstructionist . And I think this is the song of a recovering deconstructionist . It ’ s a confession of faith , while acknowledging the ups and downs . It ’ s a reminder of all the different ways that God was there and therefore I ’ ll keep showing up back . I really love this song , it ’ s probably my favorite on the album . I love the bridge , I love getting to sing it , and I ’ m really excited to do this one live and see how people respond to it . Hopefully it resonates with people who have been on a similar journey .

I ’ m really excited I got to do it with Matty Crocker , a longtime friend from Hillsong United , and I ’ m really excited to lead this one .
