This song started from a simple quote from Martin Luther's commentary on Galatians (I have a husband in seminary, what can I say?), and grew from there. It's an amazingly fun song to sing live, but my hope is that the lyrics is what people eventually hear and hone in on.
"As the earth itself does not produce rain and is unable to acquire it by its own strength... so this heavenly righteousness is given to us by God without our work or merit. As much as the dry earth of itself is able to accomplish in obtaining the right and blessed rain, that much can we men accomplish by our own strengths and works to obtain that divine, heavenly, and eternal righteousness..."
-Martin Luther
