Lyrics / गीत
मेरी जिंदगी दे विच येशू जगह पहली तेरी है
मेरे हाथां दे कम ते हुण कृपा तेरी है
जो बीत गया समय ओ रहमत तेरी है
मैनूं जो काही मिलया ओ दया तेरी है
हुण जिथे भी मैं जावां सना तेरी ही गावा
मैं जब भी सुणा नाम येशू ही सुणा
ए आदत मेरी है
मेरी जिंदगी दे विच येशू जगह पहली तेरी है
मेरा हाथ ओ फड़दा है मेरा काम ओ करदा है
मैं जिथे भी खड़ जां मेरे नाल ओ खड़दा है
मेरे नाल येशू खड़दा है
मेरे दिल दी खुशी है ओ दौलत तेरी है
हुण दूर होये हनेरे मेरे कम ने येशू तेरे
रबट जिथे भी खलोता ओ रस्ते सब ने तेरे
जो बीत गया समा ओ रहमत तेरी है
English Translation
In my life, Jesus, the very first place is Yours.
Upon the work of my hands, now rests Your grace.
The time that has safely passed, that was by Your mercy.
Whatever I have received, that is due to Your compassion.
Now wherever I go, I sing only Your praise (Sana).
Whenever I listen, I want to hear only the name of Jesus.
This has become my habit.
In my life, Jesus, the very first place is Yours.
He holds my hand, He completes my work.
Wherever I stand, He stands right beside me.
Jesus stands beside me.
The true joy of my heart, that is the wealth You have given.
Now the darkness has gone away, my works are Yours, Jesus.
Wherever Robert (the songwriter) stands, all those paths are Yours.
The time that has safely passed, that was by Your mercy.
Spiritual Meaning & Theme
This uplifting Punjabi Masih Geet focuses on the theme of putting God first and acknowledging His grace in our daily lives.
- Seeking First the Kingdom: The opening line is a beautiful declaration of Matthew 6:33 (“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness”). The worshiper declares that Jesus holds the absolute first priority in their life, above work, wealth, and worldly success.
- Divine Companionship & Provision: The second stanza reassures believers of God’s constant presence. He isn’t a distant God; He actively holds our hand, stands with us in every situation, and even establishes the work of our hands (echoing Psalm 90:17).
- True Wealth: The song powerfully redefines wealth (Daulat). It declares that true riches are not found in money, but in the spiritual joy (Khushi) and peace that Jesus places in a believer’s heart.
