Just found this quote online. Might help:
“I’ve found that often success looks more like failure, riches more like poverty and real life often feels more like death… the Christian life is very literally the process by which we are killed.” - Derek Webb
Thank you so much for your posts. Very good information and helps explain some things about the song. I love his music, but sometimes it helps to know more and frankly I get more out of the songs when I can see where he is going with it. This just makes it an even better song.
