It is about the leukemia diagnosis of a 5-month-old baby. The parents played the song in their child’s hospital room, daily. As in the story, Jesus Raises Lazarus, Kelsie Constable is still living today.

Kari Jobe was a miracle baby, too. After tumor surgery, her mother found out she was pregnant and in her second trimester. The doctor suggested aborting Kari.
