Purpose
Why this song exists.

The song does not try to explain every part of the EP at once. It holds one worship task with care, giving the listener language that can be sung honestly in a service, during prayer, or in the quiet of ordinary life.
Meaning
What the song carries.

The title gives the song its centre of gravity. Around that centre, the words and movement of the song hold obedience and yielded worship, making room for personal devotion and shared congregational response.
