I saw Sleeping Giant live a couple of days ago and it was truly life-changing. Just before they played this song, Thom fully came out and told the crowd what this song is about. During the song he became so emotional he cried. It went something like this:
When he was 18 years old he was going through some struggles in life and met a nice couple who helped him get through it. A couple of months later, that couple was involved in an accident and the husband was permanently paralyzed, he became a quadroplegic(sp?). Anyway, since they had helped him through his struggles he decided to help them. He helped them around the house, did errands, even helped earn some side income.
A couple of months later, the wife started getting closer and closer to him, and he said that honestly, he was flattered. A beatiful lady coming on to him. Well, what happened was he ended up having an affair with her.
Two months later, the husband commited suicide. He had found out.
This song is about God's love and how he will save you no matter who you are and what you have done. Thom felt like THE lowest being on the planet when this incident happened, that you can't possibly get lower than that, but he found God and now his broken life is healed. A very moving song.
