More info about the Song: The couple called on the talents of multiple Dove Award-winning producer Chris Bevins (producer and keyboards for Selah, Salvador, Jaci Velasquez), to bring the song to life. In addition to serving as keyboardist, Bevins, in turn, brought in some of Nashville's other finest studio musicians for the recording, including drummer Dan Needham (Amy Grant, Jeremy Camp, Michael McDonald, Sting), guitarist Mike Payne (Casting Crowns, Francesca Battistelli, Mandisa, Lauren Daigle, Natalie Grant), and bassist Jacob Lowery (Gaither Vocal Band, Seth & Nirva).
Joanie, Alabaster Grace's primary songwriter, penned the song, while Brad wrote the guitar parts and other instrumental ideas. Together, Joanie and Brad further developed the song and crafted the arrangement along with Bevins.
