COMMENTARY

Well, this is the first song I ever wrote that was not from my own individual perspective of who God is. I'm definitely not "fatherless" nor would I refer to "white" people as "strange" people. I wrote this song right after moving back from Mozambique so our family could be on furlough, and the poverty and need that is in Africa was still very much ringing in my ears. So this song is written from the perspective of an orphaned village child, who just met missionaries who came to the village for the first time. He doesn't know quite what to think the first time he/she sees the first white person they've ever seen. They also bring a message about this man named Jesus, which he/she isn't sure they agree about this guy. The child doesn't accept Jesus at first, then the missionaries leave. The orpahan realiazes in the end, that the strange feeling he felt inside (the Holy Spirit's comfort) was living, real and active. He/she now wants a savior who loves him as his son/daughter, and accepts Jesus as King over his heart.
