COMMENTARY

I started writing this song while I was in Poland in 2009. I was dwelling on how much Jesus gave so that we can be set free. It came out of a place of complete awe that a God so wonderful and majestic wold give his perfect life up to save me, and the rest of the world. Then our family moved to Mozambique as missionaries in late 2009. There I met my good friend and brother in Christ Elias who helped me finish the song by adding a chorus. We recorded the song and it can be found on our demo album Wholly Yours.
