We sang this song during our last church prayer meet. It's so, so beautiful. In a way, it was very much like a hymn - probably it IS a hymn. =) I remember it was first published in 1995. Gosh. That was when I was in Sec 2.

Here's a more verbose and literal translation.. I think the chinese language is a wonderful language to praise God in, because it can pack so much meaning into a few words.
