On my way home, I happened to stop by a Christian bookstore, where an English hymn CD was playing. The song was It Is Well with My Soul. It was sung by Sandi Patty, and her gentle, beautiful voice immediately drew me in, so I bought the CD on the spot.
The CD contained many hymns that I already knew in Japanese, and I listened to it again and again, feeling deeply comforted. Through this CD, I also came to know The Lord’s Prayer in English. Although reading the King James Version was difficult for me, the prayer itself became easy to remember because it was set to music.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.(Matthew 6:9-13 KJV)
Even now, I sometimes sing the Lord’s Prayer in English as I walk to church.😊
Il primo inno era It Is Well with My Soul, cantata da Sandi Patty. La sua voce era dolce e bella, e comprai subito il CD. Nel CD c’erano molti inni che conoscevo in giapponese.
Ascoltandoli, il mio cuore si calmò.
Con questo CD conobbi anche The Lord’s Prayer in inglese. Leggere la Bibbia in inglese era difficile per me, ma la preghiera cantata era facile da ricordare. Ancora oggi, a volte canto il Padre Nostro in inglese andando in chiesa.😊
