Says for KING + COUNTRY, “The idea that God is loving us right where we are and as we are, and the importance of extending a hand and loving each other in the same way is profound and seems to be something we need in this moment in time. When we first connected with Jordin about this song, we could never have imagined the reception it’s received. It continues to show up in places we could never have imagined. Our deepest thanks to each of you for encouraging, supporting, and spreading these ideas wider, as well as to the Recording Academy. And to dear Jordin, for lending her voice to it!”
