Chris Brown of Elevation Worship spoke about song, saying: "I hope the song portrays His character and nature in a way that takes people on a journey and reminds people that we're a part of a great cloud of witnesses that have seen this same faithful God make good on His promises to the generations before us, and those to come after."[6]

4.[8] The lyrics of the song describe "the consistent and unchanging nature of God's wisdom, power, goodness and generosity toward His children."[9]
Timothy Yap, reviewing for JubileeCast, opined in his review that the song "has the word "classic worship song" written all over it."[10]Jonathan Andre in his 365 Days of Inspiring Media review opined that "this 8 minute track (it’s way too long!) sounds like we’re treating God like a genie in a bottle ready to fulfil everything we want rather than what He wants. I’ll admit though, this song does have passion and a firm belief that God will do miracles for us when we ask."[7]
