Bruce Ballinger wrote this Worship song in 1976 during the period of the “Jesus movement”.
It was a time when searchers of God walked away from conventional methods of worship. They wanted something more than mere vocalizations of belief. Hippies, communes, and house churches invaded Christianity, as some older folks might have termed it at the time.
Leigh Ballinger, Bruce’s son, wrote in March 2015 the following about this period, : "My father wrote the song while in the position of Music Minister at a church in Toronto Ontario, Canada -- Kennedy Road Tabernacle. which was our home church until 1980.
My dad was a man after the presence of God, He wrote the song during a time that the church was going through what you would call…Revival."
He said to me that he sat at the piano and just started to play it. The words were truly inspired by the Holy Spirit, and have had the incredible impact on those who sing it. The song has traveled across the world and had a great impact in Russia, and the underground churches in China.
Missionaries Fred and Betty Evans first heard & learnt this song during the period of the Charismatic Renewal at the Assembly of God Church in Klemzig, Adelaide, South Australia. They recorded it to a Cassette tape 1977 in the lounge room of Don Hasgard with Stewart Wissell & Danny Guglielmucci on Guitars. It was not long after they had returned home from missionary service in Papua New Guinea where they had served from 1961 - 1976.
