personally, i think this song is either to God or his father. but i feel like the first line wouldn't be right in a song about God. idk it might just be me. anyway, i think this song is about a dad who picked mat up and encouraged him when he was facing challenges both in his personal life and as a musician.
"Your love without condition
Kept me swinging when I'm missing
My eyes upon the prize
Kept me striving for the mission
When I was down for the count, falling out of commission
I can hear you voice now screaming out "son, listen"
Get on up, don't give up, though you struck opposition
Time to buck all that stuff, find out what's you condition
Like a pull in my soul, like keys in my ignition
Call you all my commission, my love and my vision"
this verse hit me hard because it reminds me of my own dad, which may explain why i think the way i do about the song. regardless of whether it's about the love of an earthly or Heavenly Father, it's a great song
