全地よほめよ All of Creation Praises Him



Garry joined his ukulele teacher during a live performance at Apple's Live Theater on Church Street in Karuizawa. They sang Zen chi yo home yo, a worship song that Garry has been practicing in order to lead worship. It was a wonderful chance to remind people that our purpose in life is to praise God. The lyrics originated from Psalm 148:2-3

Here are the English lyrics from this Hillsong classic:

Praise Him you heavens and all that’s above
Praise Him you angels and heavenly hosts
Let the whole earth praise Him

Praise Him the sun moon and bright shining stars
Praise Him you heavens and waters and skies
Let the whole earth praise Him

Chorus:
Great in power, great in glory
Great in mercy, King of heaven
Great in battle, great in wonder
Great in Zion, King over all the earth

Japanese lyrics:

てんにあるものすべて
ばんぐん の主のみつかいよ
ぜーんちーよーほめよ

つき よほしよたいよう
そらようみようちゅうよ
ぜーんちーよーほめよ

Chorus:
いーだーいーなー ちーかーらーとー
えーいーこーうー 王ーなるイエースに
しょーうーりーとー きーせーきーはー
シーオーンーのー 王ーイエスにーあり
