New Music Video

Most worship music sung in Japan is translated from English, but we are working hard at Grace City Church Tokyo to provide more indigenous Japanese worship music. We just completed our first music video so that other churches in Japan can watch it online, begin to use our songs, and catch the vision to write their own. (A note about the video: The story conveys what we would like to see happen all over Japan. Friends share songs with one another. New Japanese songs are sung simultaneously in public venues and private homes. The unity and power of a gospel movement comes to Japan as never seen before!)

English translation:

Lord, there is fear in my heart
Lord, there is sorrow in my heart
You are the only one who knows my heart
 

The Lord of compassion comes from a sacred place
The Lord of grace lives within me
Now, quietly I come and rest in your presence

Lord, there is grief in my heart
Lord, there is suffering in my heart
You are the only one that knows my heart

The Lord of compassion comes from a sacred place
The Lord of grace lives within me
Now, quietly I come and rest in your presence

Even the unsaid prayers
Even these tears, these tears,
The Lord accepts

The Lord of compassion comes from a sacred place
The Lord of grace lives within me
Now, quietly I come and rest in your presence
I come and rest in your peace
I come and rest in your presence
