Can someone please translate a video for me or tell me the name of the song? Its a song that someone posted on youtube a few yrs ago under the title Beautiful Norwegian Christian Song at Oddernes Kirke. I don't think the person posting it spoke norwegian either. I'll leave the link at the end of my post. Thanks so much

The song from Oddernes Church is in Norwegian, but the sound of the pronunciation is very bad.

Hi Michelle; I also think this is a beautiful song. It’s called «Hjerteslag» («Heartbeat»); here is a link to a youtube video displaying the lyrics:

HEARTBEAT

God, raise my mind
so I can learn to think like You
God, open my eyes
so I can see who needs You through me

I want to go there You go
Whatever You Call Help Me Follow
I want to see those You see
Every broken heartbeat

God free my hands
so they can do what they were created for
God show me Your will
for where You go is also where I want to

Ref (x2)

In strength and weakness my refuge is, my refuge is in You (x4)

Ref (x2)

Jwiborg, I'm confused about this translation. On the first line of verse 1 it translates God, raise my mind. But if I were to take God, out of it and translate it it would translate to "wake up my interior" or "wake up in my heart". Why is it so different without the word God in it? I want to learn to sing and play this on guitar but the lyric God, raise my mind doesnt go well with the melody. Could I say God, wake up what's inside me instead? Or would that be too different of a translation? Also is there different english translations for the same thing?

Thanks
Michelle

The band behind the song has an English webpage with a contact form. I recommend you ask them if an English version already exists:

Hi Michelle,
your translation "God, wake up what's inside me", is actually very good.
"Gud, vekk opp mitt indre" direcly translate to "God, wake up my inner"

The reason I wrote "God, raise my mind" is because that's what google suggested, and basically it means the same thing...

Yes
jeg vil gå dit du går = I want to go where you go / I want to go where you're going
