Lyrics (chorus and verse 1) were a prayer written at the altar in minutes. Then I immediately went to the church piano, and LORD God gave me these ideas
for the music --- including the old hymn to fit with the prayer..... as a prayer.........
I've been studying the Original Testament (O.T.) a lot (SEE FOOTNOTE BELOW)
and had already noticed the patterns of how often chapter numbers in one book are on a topic related to chapter numbers in other O.T. books – especially Chapter 9, usually dire warnings to the assembly of people (nation).
So I'm not sure why this came to mind except the usual – the Holy Spirit's inspiration – but it seemed pretty cool to me (with my poor memory that loves patterns!) to notice how these Chapters 29 are related to each other.

Song Story: THE LYRICS: Micah 7: 18-19 reminds us with this prayer:
“Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity And passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in unchanging love. He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, You will cast all their sins Into the depths of the sea.”

===========================================
God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
MALACHI 3: 6 &7 -- "For I [am] the LORD, I do not change.... Yet from the days of your fathers You have gone away from My ordinances And have not kept [them]" -- God.
Scripture reference explanation of choice to NOT say “Old” Testament -- MALACHI 3: 6 &7 -- "For I [am] the LORD, I do not change.... Yet from the days of your fathers You have gone away from My ordinances And have not kept [them]" -- God.
It STILL testifies to God! Reading Malachi 3: 6 and 7 SHOULD make us wonder:
WHERE did God say "Ignore My original words that you call the Old Testament?"
Answer: It does not. In fact, JESUS said the opposite -- quite firmly:
Matthew 5: 17 and 18, Jesus speaking: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
Can't get much clearer than that. By the way -- the heaven and earth have NOT passed...
so Jesus didn't mean until He died on the cross as payment for our sins.
The Word TORAH means MUCH more than "LAW" anyway -- it is instructions and guide as well as commandments.
PROVERBS 6:23 summarizes the 3-fold definition of the "TORAH".
The Original Testament instructions of God are still to be respected as
His HEART for us to seek to do out of respect for our God WHO NEVER CHANGES.
