My mind is elsewhere 上の空 Chaos within my heart 混沌としたこの胸の中 For example, たとえば Like the blood from a hand grasping the sky 空を掴んだ手の血潮の様に During an endless journey, 果てしない旅の中で When answers don't come, 答えが出ない時に What connected my life いのちを繋げたのは Was you, more than anything 何よりあなただった
I can sing, though my voice is faint 歌は歌える 声は微かで A life that seemed empty なにもないような Is now changed into praise 人生はただ賛美に変わる Fear and doubt are no longer needed 恐れは迷いはもう いらない
I invited you into my cluttered room 散らかった部屋に招いた You sat there そこにあなたは座って And listened with clear eyes 澄んだ瞳で話を聞いたね
A world without silence 無音のない世界は Passes by busily 忙しなく過ぎゆくけど But the melodies I hum 口ずさむメロディーたちは Are always for you いつだってあなたのため
Since the day I met you, あなたと出会った日から The music flowing 流れてる音楽は Is certainly different 確かに違う My heart begins to move, trembling 震えるように 心が動き出す
I can sing, though my voice is faint 歌は歌える 声は微かで A life that seemed empty なにもないような Is now changed into praise 人生はただ賛美に変わる Fear and doubt are no longer needed 恐れは迷いはもう いらない朽ちない冠 (feat.

Some of you have followed the journey for a long time, since the first Japan vlogs we uploaded here 6 years ago. Last year we had the dream to gather young Japanese artists, and bring a team of musicians and producers to get behind and support the songwriters of Japan and make an original, Japanese-language Christian album. We'll be sharing the whole process of making this happen, but in this episode, we arrive, we assemble the team and put the finishing touches to the songs. Philip also shares about the challenges and various ways that Japanese songwriters communicate their faith and express their worship through songs.
If you haven't seen it already, check out the first single from this album, Yomichi (feat. Cherish) here on our channel.
#tokyo #worship #japan #magnifystudioYomichi (feat. Cherish) - Magnify TokyoMagnify Studio2023-11-17 | Earlier this year we had the chance to visit Japan with the Magnify team, and record an album of original Japanese worship songs. If you've been following our Japan vlogs you know that we've had a heart for this nation for a long time. It was a real honour to be able to work with some young, talented Japanese artists. We assembled a team of musicians and spent a week recording and arranging their songs, to capture the sound and the stories of these artists.
Yomichi is the first single to be released from this project, featuring Cherish. It's a beautiful storytelling song about trusting in the Lord. We hope you enjoy it, and there's plenty more to come soon!

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
To quote from Whitman, 'O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?' Answer. That you are here — that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.
