For me this song bears witness to that God is mighty to use the work of guilty hands to promote his Kingdom. Even when we mess up, God can make it right.
The anointing over this song still strikes me again and again, even after hearing it over and over and over again. No other song has been this wear proof and given me so much the last year and half.
However the story behind the song is pretty unbelievable in a bad way. The creator, Michael Guglielmucci, lead everybody to believe he was terminal ill with cancer when he wrote the song. He even mislead his own family.
But God use any hands he wants, also guilty hands. We all need mercy. And the mercy is no less for Michael than for you and me. I hope he’ll manage to get his life right, lacking lies, and continue to write amazing worship like this song.
