Praise & Worship

There are many good songs in Norway that deserve a wider audience, but don't get one because of the language barrier. This video is a little step to give people a chance to appreciate them.
Hilde L. Halvorsens song "Jesus Hvem er Som Du?" ("Jesus Who is like you") was written in 2011 and translated last summer. Translating songs properly is a complicated process as the original has to be done justice to, at the same time as the result needs to be singable and avoid ending up a rag-bag of clichés. The song-writer has to be happy with the result as well, as they have the copyright to the song and therefore the right of veto on the way you translate it.
After a ping-pong of discussion we came to an agreed solution, and after that came an even longer period trying to put the video together, because some of the visual effects were very demanding indeed, and my ideas were/are way ahead of my command of the techniqus.At the same time I also had to learn how to use Adobe Premier from scratch.
Towards the end is a kind of riddle. The clue to it is in George Herberts poem "The Elixir" from 1633:
" A man that looks on glasse,
On it may stay his eye;
Or if he pleaseth, through it passe,
And then the heav'n espie"

God came down to earth because he loved us so much. God would rather die than to live without his people. This is a wonderful simple message to your audience on what God has done for them.

Anyone wanting to try out this song can find the notes at:

this link also includes the translation approved by Kjersti herself after revisions of drafts by myself and Marilyn Allen.
The same place https://www.kfbergen.no/index.php/ressurser/lovsang-tekster-lydfiler
also gives access to an Mp3 of the official version.
Some of the reasons for differences in the versions is due to my having to write the lyrics to the music from memory of the melody being sung in the worship service. This led to some small alterations in the way the song needed to be sung. I revised it using a track on a CD issued by Vegard Schow in collaboration with various worship teams in Bergen which was slightly different in emphasis and style from the one preferred by Kjersti herself.

It has many good tracks.
For my part, I am a lyricist, not a musician so I wish to share the original lyrics, and the meanings contained in them.
