A Life that Shines Glory


This is a song written by a friend of a friend of a friend in Sapporo (I think. Origin kinda gets lost amongst all the friends...) Anyway, it is absolutely beautiful and I wanted all of you to be able to enjoy even just the way it looks, so I made it into a picture instead of just typing it. I was smart enough to think of the fact that many comnputers in the world do not recognize Japanese. This is also very special to me because I was able to translate it. What do you think? Any suggestions of alterations on the English version -- I can't really touch the Japanese-- ? P.S. The first word is the one used in the Japanese version. It means wonderful.

A Life that Shines Glory
Subarashii Your name is marvelous
Just hearing it brings me relief
Perfect and complete, the Holy word of God
Water to drink and air to breathe
Your pardon forgave all the sin of my past
Bridges were burned; there's no turning back
Everywhere I go, you've already passed
Though the road is so steep, your glory lights my path
.
I lift up my voice, I lift my hands
In worship of God on high, sing Halleluia
Rejoicing with life, living to praise
In the bad times and all the good
God, your glory, I want to shine
