The band began when David Crowder, from Texarkana, Texas, realized that almost half of the students at Baylor University were not attending church, which he found surprising since it is a Christian university. He and Chris Seay started University Baptist Church in 1996 while he was still a student. Crowder led worship there and continued to do so throughout the year. The church's congregation grew, as did the band's lineup.

Death laid low Quiet in the night is stirring
All around the rush of angels
(Bridge) GCEmD O the wonder of the greatest love has come
(Chorus 2) Shine Your light so all can see it Lifted up, 'cause the whole world needs it Love has come, what joy to hear it He has overcome, He has overcome
