This song has a special place in my heart. It was one of my son Micah's
favorite song. We played it at his memorial service. As a parent there's
probably nothing worse that can happen to you than for you to lose a
child. This song was Micah's gift to us. I can't listen to it without
weeping openly. After his death, I had to be strong for my wife who was
devastated when Micah passed away. Mom's are not equipped to outlive
their children.
I used to put the CD of this song and several others that were his favorites on the CD player in the car and drive around and have myself a good cry and sing this song at the top of my lungs. I still do it, though nowadays it's with my mp3 player while I'm out on a good long walk away from people. It has a cleansing effect - kind of like scrubbing your soul.

Here's Mercyme's "I Can Only Imagine."
I've got another one of Micah's songs for next week. Stay tuned.
