COMMENTARY

During the time I was writing this, I was living in Mozambique, but I was reflecting back on the 9 months we spent living in Poland as missionaries. many of the Catholics in Poland are strongly religious but have no personal relationship with Jesus. I was crying out to God in this song, wanting Him to come down and save Poland from their religiosity and come into the realization that He is very much real and very much alive today.
