I love when singers are able to put pure emotion into their words alongside the meaning of the lyrics. Stephen is one of those singers.

You are our safe haven. You withstand every storm. Keeping us together. I'm reminded of a picture I saw as a child. Jesus holding a light guiding a child down the path. He whispers, "I'm with you."
