Lyrics / गीत
सारे जग का तू बादशाह
तेरी हुकुमत है तेरी शान
है एक लौता तू मेमना
जो है सिंहासन पर बैठा
गाएंगे बार बार
नाचेंगे बेशुमार
रोशनी ने मिटाया अंधकार
जय जय कार
यीशु मसीह की जय जय कार
आँधियाँ चाहे लाख हो
तेरी ज्योति ना हारी कभी
हर तरफ जय तेरी ही हो
और तेरी हो मर्जी पूरी
गाएंगे बार बार
नाचेंगे बेशुमार
रोशनी ने मिटाया अंधकार
जय जय कार
यीशु मसीह की जय जय कार
बोलो जय जय यीशु की जय जय…
गाएंगे बार बार
नाचेंगे बेशुमार
रोशनी ने मिटाया अंधकार
जय जय कार
यीशु मसीह की जय जय कार
English Translation
You are the King (Emperor) of the whole world,
Your reign is Your glory.
You are the one and only Lamb,
Who is seated on the throne.
We will sing again and again,
We will dance boundlessly,
The light has erased the darkness.
Hail His victory!
Victory to Jesus Christ!
Even if there are a hundred thousand storms,
Your light has never been defeated.
May Your victory be proclaimed on every side,
And may Your will be completely fulfilled.
We will sing again and again,
We will dance boundlessly,
The light has erased the darkness.
Hail His victory!
Victory to Jesus Christ!
Proclaim victory, victory to Jesus…
We will sing again and again,
We will dance boundlessly,
The light has erased the darkness.
Hail His victory!
Victory to Jesus Christ!
Spiritual Meaning & Theme
This vibrant song is a triumphant declaration of the Kingship and ultimate victory of Jesus Christ.
- The Lamb on the Throne: The opening stanza draws heavily from the imagery of Revelation 5 and Revelation 7. It beautifully juxtaposes the supreme authority of a worldly emperor (Baadshah) with the gentle sacrifice of the “only Lamb” (Ek lauta Memna) who rightfully rules from the heavenly throne.
- Unconquerable Light: The second stanza echoes the promise of John 1:5 (“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it”). It reassures believers that no matter how many worldly “storms” or trials arise, the light of Christ can never be defeated.
- Joyful Surrender: The chorus shifts from theological declarations to an active, joyful response. True worship involves both singing and dancing with abandon (Beshumaar) as a celebration of the fact that Christ has already won the victory over darkness.
