As is heard in the opening line, I was inspired by the Psalmist in writing this song. Another source of inspiration came from a sermon on the prodigal son, and the idea of God’s extravagant grace which he lavishes upon us.
The song went through several iterations over the past year and a half, with input from various sources. The first was a few changes in lyrics in discussion with a close friend and the second during the recording at the Gould’s house.
