Yeah, crying thinking about it because it was so powerful. I mean, it was so powerful and it shifted me so much and just, I mean, for me, God talks to me through songs and songwriting. So this song that came out of me, it's one of my favorite songs I've ever written. And the fact that I wrote it in 20 minutes was very obvious that it wasn't me writing it. Wow.
