So Will I (100 Billion X) is a powerful Hillsong UNITED song written by Benjamin Hastings, Joel Houston, and Michael Fatkin. The lyrics of the song resonate so deeply with me, revealing God's majesty through His amazing creation.
Back in August, I was on my way to work listening to 100 Billion X at an inhumane decibel level, when I had an idea: What if I went through the song line by line, and matched up my corresponding photos with each lyric on Instagram and Facebook?
So, each day from August 10 through September 14, I posted one photo a day along with a lyric and the hashtag #100BillionX. My closing photo was of Ramu, a man I met in India who passed away around 4 months after I met him. Many of you know the story of Ramu through unOblivious, our Compassion Gallery book in which I featured him as the cover photo.
Today, December 31, 2017, I want to close off 2017 and start 2018 by featuring what I believe is the best song of 2017: So Will I (100 Billion X). Thank you to Hillsong Music and Capitol CMG Publishing for providing me with permission (and a license) to use the song in the way that I have.
May you be blessed as you watch this video:
If you were dying and you had one last chance to talk with the people that matter most to you, what would you say? If everything was on the line, and nothing was left on the table, what wisdom would you impart? My name is Ray Majoran, and this book is my last lecture.

Do we see the amazing beauty in the things that God has created, the people He's brought into our lives, the situations He's put us in? Or do we live in a bubble, oblivious to His amazing wonder happening all around us? unOblivious is a 160-page photo-essay that helps answer that question.
