“The Day That I Found God” is about founding a meaning in believing in God. The person singing is realizing that the world is not about himself, but his part in a bigger story. It’s only when you start to let go, that you can find yourself in God.
[Verse 1]
The morning comes like an enemy soldier
I feel the weight across my shoulders
I feel the shadows getting colder
But that ain't You
This noose ain't getting any looser
I get so fearful about the future
I hear the shame of my accuser
But that ain't You
[Chorus]
And I found strength, but it wasn't what I thought
And I found peace in the places I forgot
And I found riches ain't the things that I had bought
Yeah, I found out
The day I lost myself was the day that I found God
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I get caught chasing my own illusions
And I get so lost in these confusions
I keep on looking for my own solutions
But that ain't You
That ain't You, no
[Chorus]

And what I learned weren't the lessons I'd been taught
Yeah, I found out
The day I lost myself was the day that I found God
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Where is God out in the darkness?
'Cause the voices in my head ain't talking honest

But that ain't You

[Chorus]
And all I know is that I still don't know a lot
I don't know how it ends, I'm in the middle of this plot
Yeah, and I found grace for the man that I am not
Yeah, and I found out the day I lost myself
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself
Yeah, I found out
The day I lost myself was the day that I found God

Jon Foreman said the following about the song:
There is a rage that burns like a fire inside. Like I’m fighting the fight of my life all on my own. And sometimes the walls are closing in, and the pain takes over, free falling into bitterness- anger cynicism and doubt. Like I’m bound to lose. Like I...
