It's an amazing song.

It just kind of happened. It took about 10 minutes, I guess.

Bart, you didn't write this song in 10 minutes. It took a lifetime.

How'd you do this?

You know, I've never told anybody in my story.

When I was 11 years old, life was tough.

Where's mama?

She's gone. She don't want me no more. And she mama? She's gone.

She don't want me no more.

And she don't want you neither.

My dad was a monster, and I saw God transform him.

I didn't think that God could do that.

And so I wrote this song for my dad.

Some of you are going to my

problem, my biggest problem, you're wanting to do this to the person sitting next to you.

Or it may be what's worse is this.

And it may be they're all around you.

Because you brought some of your biggest problems with you.

In fact, you brought your problems because you're wanting your problem to get a good word. Yeah. I want to read you the words out of 2 Corinthians 4, 8, and 9.

They'll be familiar to many of you, but I'm going to read them to you in the message

because they're just enormously powerful.
