Writing and development
Jenn Johnson had an interview with Kevin Davis, lead contributor at NewReleaseToday about the song and the inspiration behind it.[6] 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.
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."[6] She also listed several scriptural references from various translations to affirm the song's message.[6]
The official lyric video of the song was published on January 27, 2017, on Bethel Music's YouTube channel and has been viewed over 4 million times as of September 2017.[8]
