Iron Jawed Angels - Japanese translation

[shadowkitty56]

Youkai,

Actually, this song isn't really a gospel song: it actually is a very old traditional one. AP Carter (June Carter Cash's great uncle) wrote it down around 1920, but it is believed to be older than that and its roots are probably closer to COUNTRY MUSIC.

PS-What is the kanji for "Jesus"?-Surely, even in Japan, that name must have some recognition and it is what is usu. meant by "Lord" in the case of this song.

I know that it's originally country, but there are other versions (including this one) that are gospel, and I've even heard a soft rock version.

There is no kanji for Jesus. The Japanese's first religion was mainly Shinto, and now they have a mixture of mostly Shinto and Buddhism. Althouth there is some Christianity, there is no kanji for jesus, it's just a katakana word (クリスト).
