Please Love Japan

Click here to see a video our gospel choir director made as an encouragement for those in the earthquake-tsunami affected areas. Several years ago Yamamoto sensei wrote this song. It is so appropriate for this time! Each time we sing it tears fall from my eyes.

Here are the Japanese words:
日本を愛してください
荒れたこの国を
平和と希望と癒しを今与えてください
心も体も傷ついた
明日への希望
闇に包まれ
そんな時にこそ
イエスさまが
救いの手を差し伸べられる
今日本のために
私を用いてください

And, Shan's loose translation:
Please love Japan, this desolate country
Please give us peace, hope and healing, now
Hearts and bodies are wounded
Tomorrow's hope is wrapped in darkness
Yet, we know Jesus will extend His hand of salvation
Please use me for the sake of Japan

The first minute and half, about, of the video is Yamamoto sensei talking and then he sings this song. Enjoy! And, keep praying!
