I actually can't categorically say how 'long-lost' this song is. But it certainly deserves to be used consistently in the Church at large because of its expressions of humility, brokenness, commitment, and desire for Jesus.
While much of our American church culture has adopted standing and various forms of hand-raising, this song reminds us of the oft-avoided physical posture of kneeling before the Lord in worship. For some, kneeling may be physically difficult, but what is the excuse for the rest of us able-bodied. Do we neglect the consistent biblical presentation that describes bowing as the proper reaction when encountering our Sovereign God?
Maybe we are missing out on more than just singing a song...
