I love this song. The first stanza says it all, “we’re all one phone call from our knees”, one call of a tragic accident that forces use to run to God for comfort. Those moments seem to happen more often for some people than others, but it’s really in those moments that you can begin to sing the song “the one they can’t take away”. And in those moments when you are calling out to God and are “closer to love” you strip away all of the pretense that anything else in life mattered, humbled by whatever tragedy struck your life, but safe in the eternal arms of a loving, caring God.
