Lyrics / गीत
येशु तेरे नाम बिनां
येशु तेरे नाम बिनां,
नाम बिनां है अंधेरा,
येशु तेरे नाम बिनां।
१. माफ़ करन लयी मेरियां बदियां – २
ख़ून दियां धारां येशु सूली उत्ते वगियां,
साफ़ करन दिल मेरा।
२. येशु दा नाम बेड़े डुबियां दे तारे – २
प्यार नाल चुक के ओह लावे किनारे,
बण जाए शाम सवेरा।
३. येशु दा नाम सुनके भजदा शैतान-ए – २
ओदा ही नाम उत्ते ज़िमीं आसमान-ए,
शक्तिमान बथेरा।
४. येशु दा नाम चंगा करदा बीमारान नूं – २
दिल दा आराम देवे दुखियां लाचारान नूं,
सभ नामां तों चंगेरा।
५. येशु दा नाम सारे जग तों न्यारा-ए – २
जान मेरी नी ओह सभ तों प्यारा-ए,
नाम जपां येशु तेरा।
६. पापियां नूं माफ़ी देके अपने बना लवे – २
मुक्ती दा दान देके गले लगा लवे,
तेरे बिना होर है केहड़ा।

Jesus, without Your name,
Jesus, without Your name,
Without Your name, there is only darkness,
Jesus, without Your name.
1. To forgive my evil deeds (sins) – 2
Streams of blood flowed from Jesus on the cross,
To completely cleanse my heart.

With deep love, He lifts them and brings them to the shore,
And the dark evening turns into a bright morning.

On His name alone rests the earth and the sky,
He is exceedingly powerful.

He is my very life and the most beloved of all,
I will continuously chant Your name, Jesus.
6. By forgiving the sinners, He makes them His very own – 2
Giving the free gift of salvation, He embraces them,
Who else is there for us besides You?
Spiritual Meaning & Theme
This dynamic Punjabi Masih Geet focuses entirely on the supreme authority, healing power, and saving grace found exclusively in the name of Jesus.
- The Name Above All Names: The song powerfully echoes Philippians 2:9-10 (“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name”). Stanza three and four highlight that at this name, Satan flees, the sick are healed, and the entire earth and sky are sustained. It is the greatest (Changera) name of all.
- Cleansing by the Blood: The first stanza shifts focus to the cross. It declares the truth of 1 John 1:7 (“the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin”). The worshiper acknowledges that the streams of blood (Khoon diyan dhaaran) were necessary to wipe away their evil deeds and cleanse their heart.
- The Anchor in the Storm: Stanza two uses the beautiful metaphor of a sinking ship (Bede dubiyan de). Drawing from Psalm 107:28-30, it reminds the believer that when their life is sinking in despair or sin, Jesus steps in with love, lifts them up, and safely guides them to the shore, turning their darkness into dawn.
- Grace and Adoption: The final verse touches on the beautiful reality of salvation. Jesus does not just forgive sinners; He actively adopts them (Apne bana lave) and embraces them, giving them the ultimate gift of eternal life.
