"Indescribable" is a cover of Laura Story, originally performed by Laura Story herself in 2003. Tomlin covered the song on this album.
Likewise, "Your Grace Is Enough" is a cover of a Matt Maher song, though Tomlin rewrote the chorus compared to Maher's original version.
Name
Tomlin named this album after a passage he read in Isaiah 40 because he said he feels "as though we’re like this landing strip in the desert for our great, incredible God to arrive on; a way for Him to come into people's lives."[5]
