“I grew up in the church and, from an early age, I understood the concept of God’s grace and forgiveness. That being said, I’ve gone through seasons in my life, where it has been incredibly difficult to walk in that truth. I have walked with shame, I’ve walked with guilt from my past, I have believed lies about my identity; beating myself up on the inside, all the while working incredibly hard to make it look like everything is all good on the outside. That’s a burden that becomes really heavy and it’s hard to sustain. This song came out of a season where I needed to challenge the identity I had constructed for myself, against the truth of God’s love. As human beings, we do fall short and we are not perfect people… but we don’t have to pretend that we are. God’s love is so far beyond those things and, to Him, you are precious, you are deeply cared for; fearfully and wonderfully made and all of the weight of imperfection that we carry – it’s not something that He wants us to shoulder. He longs to lighten the load, He wants us to let it go and find rest in his presence.” – Jordan Janzen
