With straightforward lyrics, the song of invocation occurs as a fervent prayer that invokes the divine presence and manifestation. It is usually sung in the Evangelical Church of Congo, during large outdoor gatherings and on the occasion of Pentecost.

Christians gathered to ask God to come and meet them and give them the new fire, that is to say the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, Jesus' disciples receive the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire that land on their heads (Acts 2, 1-4).
The evocation of what God has done for Israel ( You have revealed guided ... you ... you blessed children Israel ) is to be recalled to the memory of all (singers and listeners) a goodness which will hopefully benefit. Christians therefore expect God to take care of every person, as he has done for Israel. At the same time, the assembly sings replaces the chosen people, becoming the new Israel which falls on the Spirit of God, in a completely new (hence the allusion to fire again ) . In reality, the religious context of the receiver confirms this line of interpretation of the song: in the Evangelical Church of Congo, there is a profusion charisms (songs and medicine revealed, gift of vision, prophecy, writing, healing, etc..) that the faithful believe to be the new and special event of the Spirit of God among his people.
