COMMENTARY:
I was 20 years old and on my second short-term missions trip, this time to Croatia when I wrote this song, my first ever original worship song. It is ironic that the first song that came from my heart was about one of the clsest things to my heart, the great commission. It is very simple and for the most part, straight out of Scripture. My brother, Phil and I recorded this song in 1995. I was able to share this song at Shoreline Christian Fellowship in San Leandro, California, where my dad was the pastor after I returned from my missions trip. I was able to share this song a few years ago as well at Calavary Chapel in Tigard, Oregon when one of our friends was holding a fund-raiser for her missions trip to Nigeria.
