Artist Reflection

For me as a Christian, I'm realizing more and more that the world isn't my worst enemy — I'm my biggest enemy. If I could spend more time letting God love me, then maybe I'd be a more effective apostle. That's why we can look at a cross and not see death, but rather the grace of love, forgiveness and hope.

The chorus was inspired by Second Timothy: "I fought the fight, I've kept the faith, I've finished the race." I believe Paul's not saying that as a boasting man; he'd been abandoned and rejected, scorned and lost. But Paul knows grace. He knows the biggest battle he's fought is not against the world, but against his self.
