Watasan's Original Praise Songs

Sono Mama De Iiyo (1998.5.22) / I Accept You(midi)



Tsuyoku naritakatta
Yowasa sutetakatta
Soshite yasashisa saemo okiwasurete kita
Futto ki ga tsukeba jibun no naka ni nani mo nakatta

Sono mama de iiyo, sono mama de iiyo
Yasashiku Shu wa katarikakeru

Sono mama de iiyo, sono mama de iiyo
Shu ni me o mukeru nara Shu no mite wa watashi no yowasa ni hataraku

--- English Translation by Dee Miller

Lord, I hoped my life to be stronger
Tried to hide my weakness away, inside

Then the tenderness that I once had shown
Was gone, that part of me had died

Suddenly, I realized the emptiness inside of me,
Through my tears, I heard You say....


"I will accept you, as you are
Yes, I accept you, as you are"
I looked to see, God's gentle hand reach out to me

"I will accept you, as you are
Yes, I accept you, as you are

Leave your past behind, no price to pay
Put your hand in mine, I'll lead your way,
I accept you now, just as you are."

Iesu anata no mina wa / Jesus, Nothing is more wonderful(1998.5.22) (midi)



Iesu, anata no mina wa
Nani yorimo subarashiku
Sono ai no miwaza wa
Nani nimo kaerarenai

Shu yo itsumademo
Mitsubasa no kage ni
Shu yo waga tamashii
Ikowase tamae

--- Literal translation

Jesus, nothing is more wonderful than your name

    Nothing is substituted for the work of his love

      Lord, in the shadow of your wing
      Lord, let my soul take a rest there
