I am walking alone in this journey of life with my Jesus!

 Oh, my Lord Jesus, You are my King of Kings,

To a poor and outcast soul like me,

When all my friends forsake me,

Saying, “You are a backslidden sinner”

Your everlasting Spirit stays to console me!

Jesus, Your Word brings life and beauty

Into my wretched heart!

When Your Spirit breaks my prison of sin and death,

This crippled life of mine leaps into joy like a deer

The waters of Life gush out from my very brokenness;

Now, the beauty of a heart without guile is given to me,

Like a flower blossom, Your Life blooms into my soul!

Even though I’m naive and a fool,

I will not stray away from this Highway of Holiness,

Because Jesus, You are my Good Shepherd!

No roaring lion of the devil or ravenous wolf of false prophets

Can ever be found there to harm me!

Now my poor soul is clothed in Your perfect righteousness;

With the crown of everlasting joy upon my head,

I will sing, “Worthy is my Lamb Jesus, who was slain for me,

To receive power, honour, and glory forever!”

I am walking alone in this journey of life with Jesus!

I am walking alone in this journey of life with You, O Jesus

For who can be faithful in this world full of betrayal?

Except You, and You alone, my Lord, no one will

You alone are faithful at all times till the end!

Many have started this journey with me,

But they left in the middle of it…!

Some departed because I lack the beauty they sought;

Their love withered quickly like the grass of the field

Some forsook, for I held not the skills they needed for their gain;

As though relationships were merely a trade

Others left me because my hands held no riches;

To satisfy their selfish desires

Yet! You alone remained at my side,

Through every mountain and every valley of my life!

Your wisdom always whispers within my soul:

Cursed is the man who trusts in the flesh,

For man is but a breath, and his loyalty a passing shadow

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,

Whose hope is in the God of Israel,

For he shall never be put to shame

You are the Shepherd of my soul, who walks beside me,

At every step of my life

Your mercy and goodness follow me

All the days of my life…!

Even when all others forsake me,

You have always kept Your promise:

"I will never leave you nor forsake you."

Yeshua, You're the Ancient of Days!

 Oh my Yeshua, You’re my Lord! 

The one who died for my sins, 

The reason I praise You forever… 

You are the Ancient of Days, 

The one who lives forever in my heart! 

My soul praises You, who are clothed in honour and majesty, 

Oh my Yeshua, You’re my dream, the one in Jacob’s dream, 

The ladder that connects God the Father with me! 

You cover Yourself with light as a garment, 

Who walks upon the wings of the wind 

To help me in times of need! 

Oh my Jesus, You’re my heart's song and my Love poem, 

The keeper of Jerusalem, My shield and my defender, 

To whom my soul clings for everything in this life!

No other language in the world has this unique beauty!

Tamil has the most beautiful words in the World!

It is more than just a language;

It is the essence of every Tamilian's existence

It goes beyond basic communication;

Which embodies the deep emotions of every Tamilian!

The sound of its syllables…

The beauty of its nuances…

They are unparalleled in any other language

Tamil is the song of the soul and the rhythm of the heartbeat,

Nothing resonates with music quite like Tamil does

Like the colourful threads interwoven in a tapestry

The consonants and vowels,

Which come together seamlessly in poems, proverbs, where wisdom thrives

No other language in the world has this unique beauty

That deeply moves every soul

If I were to be born in this World again,

I would want to be born only as a Tamilian,

So, I could experience its beauty & love forever!

Jesus, You're the bright Morning Star who shines in my heart!

As long as I feel the warmth and light 

Of a star that pierces the deepest night, 

I will not fear the shadows that call in the dark 

For You, O Jesus, outshine them all!

 

You’re the offspring of David’s bright Morning Star, 

Whom I have gazed upon all my life

The flame of light that never dies, 

Your truth, the sword that ends all my heart's strife! 

 

Your Words descend like the morning dew, 

Bringing the dawn of understanding into my heart, 

Which drives away all the shadows of death 

And fills my soul with endless hope and joy! 

 

Let the darkness around me fall, 

I stand in Your light and fear no pall, 

My Jesus, You’re near and ever with me, 

The bright Morning Star who shines in my heart!

Don’t you know every creation sighs to see your faith grow!

 Dear Little Faith, go outside and look up at the sky

Take a deep breath…!

Look up at the clouds, the sun, and the birds that fly

Look down, see the rocks, the grass, the dew, and the small bugs crawl

Jesus holds it ALL and ALL…

Now, think bigger, pull back and sit, take your heart to the countryside,

Look at the Forests, mountains, oceans, rivers, polar ice caps, and deserts of the whole earth!

More than that, the solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, Countless stars, and the entire universe!

Christ holds it ALL and ALL in the palm of His Hand, wounded for you!

Every time you watch, it reminds us of His glorious Sovereignty and Absolute power!

Every minuscule atom is known and accounted to Him,

Our Lord Jesus Christ is sooooooo A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!

Then why are you downcast?

Oh, My dear Zion! The bride of Jesus!

Rejoice and dance always, let your faith bloom

Don’t you know every creation sighs to see your faith grow

Jesus is coming sooooooon…

At the end, He will fix everything as N.E.W.!

Some pains are in silent cries!
Some pains are expressed in words that are unique to Tamil
He is a sculptor who carves without a chisel
He is a doctor who cuts without shedding blood
Like a butterfly that changes through pain
In a struggle that goes on daily
He paints His beauty in my heart, like a painter
My inner man, who is constantly changing and flying without wings
Every day, I am resurrected by accepting death on the cross
I am no longer in this world, but will always live in your breath!
