A captivating piano-driven ballad, the song vividly conveys the wonder of God’s omnipresence and holiness and features a rousing crescendo rivaling that of “Imagine".[2] Russ Breimeier of Christianity Today International commented that the song was "worshipful",[7] also opining that it "struggle[s] with comprehending the mystery and enormity of God's love".[7]
