COMMENTARY

This was the first worship song that I ever wrote. I was 12, and our family was living in Poland as missionaries at the time. I don't remember what inspired me to write my first worship song, but I know it was driven out of a place of wanting to know God more intimately than before. I also remember wanting to completely surrender to His will. Out of these feelings came this song of adoration to Jesus.
