Okay, so I was wrong. A little. Here's the official say. From Dave himself.
"This song came from an amazing experience I had last year. I was at home, and I was going through some pretty rough trials in my personal life. It was probably one of the most oppressive times of my life. I really felt Satan and his hordes closing in on me. One night while I was sleeping, I was quickly awakened by fear. I just suddenly sat up in my bed and could feel the dark presence in my room. I immediately began praying and singing worship to God in the darkness of my room. After about an hour of pretty intense communication, a huge storm outside began and a few large bolts of lightning lit my room up like the sun. Suddenly, I felt the ultimate peace and safety that comes only from my God. At that moment I realized that in my darkest, scariest, loneliest times, that’s when God can be the closest and there is no reason to be afraid." - Dave Pelsue (Kids In The Way)
