My friends in Japan
Seeking Truth, Love, and Wisdom
Heed Kirisuto! ...
Rising Son the only true Kami
Rising Sun breaks through clouds of cleansing ame
Risen Jesus-san truth revelation sami
Hirohito Showa’s defeat
Ningen-Sengen repeal’s the dark veil deceit
Kirisuto on cross doth death delete
Discover-Disukaba Truth-Makoto
Pure white reisu of life Christ-Hitonoko
Awaken to the Holy Spirit koingokoro
Bright faith brings Ho-pu, Shinkyou
Christ calls his Shinto Shinpu
His truth as true food Toyuke - Koumyou
Heart of truth - Makoto no kokoro
Jesus guide our steps from today unto tomorrow
And frees us from the bond of sorrow
