Lyrics / गीत
यीशु ने अपना खून बहा के मुझे बचा लिया
क्यों मैं न गाऊंगा गीत उसी के मुझे बचा लिया
१. जब मैं गुनाहों में पड़ा हुआ था, यीशु आ गया
उसी के मारे जाने से मैं जीवन भी पा गया – २
इसीलिए गाऊंगा गीत उसी के मुझे बचा लिया
२. मेरे गुनाहों का बोझ उठाकर, क्या-क्या न उसने सहा
मेरे गुनाहों को माफ़ कराने खून भी उसका बहा – २
कितना अनोखा है प्यार प्रभु का मुझे बचा लिया
३. सेवा करेंगे प्यारे प्रभु की, जैसा कि उसने कहा
मर भी मिटेंगे प्यारे प्रभु में, जैसा कि उसने सहा – २
हर दम हम गायेंगे गीत उसी के मुझे बचा लिया
English Translation
Jesus shed His blood and saved me,
Why would I not sing His songs? He saved me.
1. When I was lying lost in my sins, Jesus came to me,
By His death (being slain), I received life – 2
That is why I will sing His songs; He saved me.
2. Carrying the burden of my sins, oh, what all He endured,
To get my sins forgiven, His blood flowed – 2
How wondrous is the love of the Lord! He saved me.
3. We will serve our beloved Lord, just as He commanded,
We will even lay down our lives for the Lord, just as He suffered – 2
In every moment we will sing His songs; He saved me.
Spiritual Meaning & Theme
This beautiful hymn is a comprehensive journey through the gospel message: recognizing our sinful state, marveling at Christ’s sacrifice, and responding with a lifetime of devoted service.
- Grace in the Midst of Sin: The first stanza beautifully reflects Romans 5:8 (“While we were still sinners, Christ died for us”). It acknowledges that Jesus did not wait for us to become righteous; He stepped in to save us while we were still completely lost in our sins (Gunahon mein pada hua tha).
- The Wondrous Exchange: The second verse focuses on substitutionary atonement. It marvels at the unique and wondrous (Anokha) love of God, recognizing the immense physical and spiritual burden Jesus bore to secure our forgiveness. By His death, we gained life.
- The Call to Discipleship: The final stanza shifts from gratitude to radical action. It is a vow of absolute dedication. Echoing Christ’s call in Mark 8:34 to take up our cross, the believer commits to serving the Lord and even being willing to face death (Mar bhi mitenge) for His namesake.
