Hello everyone!
Welcome to our program 愛的凱歌 (Adore Him). My name is Judy Lin.
Today, during the Christmas season, specifically on the second week of Advent, I would like to share a Christian song called "When I Think Upon Christmas." This song is based on Hillsong Worship's Christmas: The Peace Project, a Christmas-themed worship album released in 2017. In August of this year, I translated the lyrics of this song into Mandarin.
I want to invite all of you to join me in singing of God's glory and to rejoice in His name, just as the song suggests. Let us remember that Emmanuel, our God, is always with us.
In the information column, I will be sharing with you the Chinese interpretation of the lyrics of this song, as well as providing you with information about the recording team.
I hope you enjoy listening to the episode, although it is in Mandarin. Have a great day!
