The Messiah is here

I wrote this song in 2007, when things were a mess in my life, and God was busy calling out Peace and bringing me His rest.
It is one of the very beautiful reminders of how peaceful His love can be even if everything else is a mess.

[Translation below]

Laadu ke bacche pe hoke savaar,
Aata hai shaanti ka Raajkumar,
Uthane to ko mere gunaahon ka bhaar,
Masih chala aata hai,
Masih chala aata hai.


Aankhon main leke Woh swarg ka pyaar,
Dil main Woh lata ummedein apaar,
Anand se Uske cchalakta sansaar,
Masih chala aata hai,
Masih chala aata hai.


Ajab sa hai kitna Uska vyapaar,
Dukh leke karta hain khushiyaan nisaar,
Chinta ke badle main deta qaraar,
Masih chala aata hai,
Masih chala aata hai.


Uska vachan suno karta pukaar,
Mukti hai Usi ke lahu ki dhaar,
Uske logon ki nahi hogi haar,
Masih chala aata hai,
Masih chala aata hai.


oh.. and Laadu is an animal that bears burdens; jispe bhaar laada jata hai. 'Laadna' means 'to load'. It is smaller than a donkey, it can be a donkey's colt.

Jesus entered Jerusalem sitting on a colt. In the old times, when a king would approach a city on a horse, it was a symbol or power, and possibly the warning of a war. However, if they meant peace, they approached it on a donkey - known as a peaceful animal and that which carried burdens.

Jesus approached mankind in peace and carried away the burden of sins. Too proper that he should enter Jerusalem, 'City of Peace' on a donkey's colt, in peace and giving peace, by taking away all our sins.

No wonder, Jesus is called the Prince of Peace.



Here's a translation of the song:

Riding on a donkey's colt,
Here's comes the Prince of Peace,
To take away my burden of sins,
The Messiah is here,
The Messiah is here.


His eyes full of Heaven's love,
He brings to hearts endless hopes,
The world brims over with His joy,
The Messiah is here,
The Messiah is here.


Strange is the exchange (barter) He makes,
He takes away grief and showers joy,
In return for worry, He gives peace,
The Messiah is here,
The Messiah is here.


Listen, His Word calls aloud,
Salvation is only in His blood,
His people will never be overthrown,
The Messiah is here,
The Messiah is here.
