Writing and development
Cory Asbury told the story behind the song whilst leading it in worship at the Heaven Come Conference 2017, an event held by Bethel Music, citing the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15 as a scriptural reference point saying:
When I used the phrase, 'the reckless love of God,' when we say it, we're not saying that God Himself is reckless, He's not crazy. We are, however, saying that the way He loves, is in many regards, quite so. But what I mean is this: He's utterly unconcerned with the consequences of His own actions with regard to His own safety, comfort and well-being. ... He doesn't wonder what He'll gain or lose by putting Himself on the line, He simply puts Himself out there on the off-chance that you and I might look back at Him and give Him that love in return. His love leaves the ninety nine to find the one every time and to many practical adults that's a foolish concept. Well, what if He loses the ninety nine and finding the one, right? What if, finding that one sheep is and always will be supremely important?
- Cory Asbury
Asbury went further in expounding the love of God, saying that it "isn't cautious, it's the love that sent His own son to die a gruesome death on a cross. There's no plan B with the love of God, He gives His heart so completely, so preposterously that if refused we would think it irreparably broken yet He gives Himself away again and again and again and again, time and time again." Asbury then concluded the story, saying "To make it personal, His love saw me, broken down kid with regret as deep as the ocean, my innocence and youth poured like water and He found me and put me on His shoulders and He carried me on 'cause He's just that good, He's just that kind."
