Premise

The song talks about partaking in a deeply passionate, completely dedicated and fully authentic life that is 100% committed to faith in one's actions and oration. Lead vocalist Dave Frey stated that he saw the LORD in people such as his family, his instructors and his clergy that impacted him [2] The song is said to embody confiding in Jesus Christ notwithstanding trepidation and skepticism, and saluting Jesus Christ first as Jesus Christ did for people.

Writing

The song was composed in the lower level of rhythm guitarist Ben McDonald's house during a storm. The band talked about how while the weather tormented them, they felt safe within the confines of their home, their shelter. The edifice represented Jesus Christ, and Frey started to remember the acts he committed in life to not deserve such shelter.[1]
