Popular Christian song in Japan

This song was originaly in korean, but a lady who inspired this song because of a car accident with a drunk driver went for treatment in Japan taking her song with her. Her song was translated into Japanese and became a big hit! The lyrics are "you were born to be loved"

Let me tell you more about this story. This Koreian lady isn't in that film at all...for particular reasons which this song was inspired under strangely enough. The car accident was no ordinary accident. Before that accident even occurred, she was a believer in Christ, wanted to become a school teacher for little kids, and was a very beautiful woman. On the night of the accident she was staying at the library until it closed so she could study for exams so she could fulfill her dream as a teacher. Her brother went to pick her up to drive her home. When they got hit the car burst into flames. Her brother was able to escape, but she was still trapped inside. By some mirical, her brother was able to yank her out of there alive! At that point many people would say it would be better to be dead then alive in her condition. All her skin was melted, puffy, and burnt. She'll suffer constant pain for the rest of her life. Her fingers were mutated and such. SHE WAS DOWN RIGHT AWFUL TO LOOK AT! So there goes her dreams of being a school teacher. Children were scared of her. For a long time she didn't know why God did this to her. Well I'm sure she does now. Now she's in America right now training to be a psychologist. This once beautiful women suffered so much, but she brought a meaningful song to a country who really needed it. That's why till this day she says that if she ever meets that drunk driver, she would say, "I already forgave you."

But how is this song so important to the Japanese? As you know Japanese kids have it pretty good compared to the rest of the world. Showered with electronics and games, they don't have much to fear. But they had a history of many Gods taking the place of the one true and only God, and not one of them was known for loving. Kids in Japan then resort to the idea that there needs to be a reason to be loved: such as; "my parents love me because I study hard, my friends love me because I look pretty...theres just not much of a purpose in any of those examples. This song came out and changed a lot of hearts. One of the lines means "your presents is a joy to me" not because you study hard or you're pretty. It's simply "your presents"

Err, that would be a sonogram.

Wow, great song. Thanks for posting it. I even like the music.

I'm glad to know that Christianity is in Japan (I'm sure it was, I just never knew it first-hand). Praise the Lord! :jump:
"Lives are power." - Kamille Bidan
"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" - Christ the Lord (John 11:25-26)

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. - James 1:2-4.

Remember - the Lord will be with you - always. :)
