What makes the selection sound like contemporary Christian music? How does the selection exemplify the indigenization of Christian music in East Asia? What about the song makes it easy for the congregation to learn to sing it quickly?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

The snappy rhythms with off-beat syncopations give the hymn a strong Christian praise song flavor in contemporary pop style.
 The Cantonese lyrics and its pop music style show its aptness for use in Hong Kong.
 Nevertheless, even a song like this one employs Chinese cultural featureslyrical structure and images (opening lines of seven syllables/earth and sky opening image suggests a combination of opposites/details of images rather than the full rendition)
 Syllabic melody/text  one pitch per syllable of text (versus melismatic  several pitches per syllable) makes text easy to hear and sing together. Repeating, simple melody in a limited melodic range also makes it easier for church use with a musically untrained congregation. The entire congregation is singing the same melody together in unison.
