Song Description:
Particularly in its context as the last song on Jesse's final studio album, written under the shadow of the cancer that would finally claim him. Jesse's lyrics acknowledge and praise the wonders and miracles of God's creations but accepts that "He can help no one who can't help themselves/Because there's only so much the Lord can do." A devastatingly sad (but not maudlin) song of acceptance; you and your listeners will be in tears.
