Time for a clue perhaps? This is a modern song by a well known British songwriter still alive. It is well known in evangelical churches, can't speak for the rest!

Oh dear, didn't mean to kill off this game!
So time for what must be an obvious clue - it's by Graham Kendrick, its the first verse of a song, and the last word is actually correct (I mean 'feet' is the last word of the first verse in the original)
There, surely someone can get it now?

This one’s a little trickier, since I’ve only included the refrain, via Spanish, Malay, and Croatian:
On water, on water,
He ran his hand;
His faithful followers will
He led by the hand.
City of God.
(Is it just me, but has Google Translations added several languages since we began? I don’t remember Maltese being an option before. Or Welsh.)

Dunno -- he's missed at any rate.
OK, here's another easy one:
Night recently, sleep, eat, and then, very beautiful,
I was standing outside the old church in Jerusalem.
I hear children singing, and sometimes
I think of the voice from heaven, and the envoy called Menanggapi.

Menanggapi seems to be one of those words that didn't get translated early in the game and got dragged along from language to language.

It's the first line of one of my favorite Christmas Carols. I liked the first time I ran it through better. The first word came out Well-being. But I didn't write down the sequence of languages.

OK. So to continue on our Christmas carol roll:
Welcome! Salad of your sleepiness
And your stupid complicated sheep.
Angels sing around Heav'n.
News brought a lot of joy.
Welcome! Chorus and swelling!
(Minus the last line of verse 1, which would give it away if it isn't already given away.)

I wondered myself how "Shepherds" turned into "Welcome". I forget which language that occurred in. At any rate, yes, that's it.

I’ve got another, then (And I promise it’s not "The God of Abraham Praise.")
The bridge of me, my soul, joy,
Left miserable persistent sadness,
In phototherapy,
You're not satisfied with the praise
In the infinite grace
The seminar is no justification for the strange
The first is the rule from heaven,
But you live together, he knows.

Hmm… the hymn has makes several references to the Song of Songs, so the last line as translated isn’t that far off at all. Maybe even a bit toned down. Not sure if it’s really to be classified as a Jesus-is-my-boyfriend song, though.

Nope. I'll pass this round. I know nothing of these modern praise songs, nor do I care to.
