Story behind the song
This song is probably one of the best songs that i have ever written. even though it is a simple chorus, the words and music are powerful. it is what i call worship at it's highest. Nothing but telling God how great and wonderful he is (Full Throttle). Passion and emotion is at the core of it's rendition. There was no magic that happened when i wrote this song. I started humming the tune in the shower and immediately i knew i was on to something, so i kept it in my head for a while. About an hour later i called my son over to the keyboard and started to sing the song and told him what chords to play. 15 minutes later the song was basically finished... It was all God, wanting to be exalted!!!
