Thirumbi Naan Paarkayil – A spirit filled musical treat

This song is sung by Brother Samuel Jabro and Sister Hema John, a prominent, spirit filled singner among the Christian population of South India. Bro Sam as he is fondly known among his friends is a dedicated Christian and a fervent prayer warrior. He is a talented musician who carries the gospel around the world with his musical talents. The song’s lyrics were penned down by his wife Sister Anusha Jabro who witnessed the darkest side of this world by undergoing the toughest situations and is a living testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ. The outcome of this beautiful consequential song is the path through which she went in life.

This song starts off by counting the richest mercies of God remembering God’s hand during our toughest situations in life. “Nadandhu vandha paadhaiyai, Thirumbi naan paarkaiyil, Iraiva neer andru illayael Naan indru illai”. The translation goes like this “As I look back on my life, Lord I realize, had you not been there then, I will not be here today.

Yes, If we stop a moment, give a break from our busy schedule and look back at our past, we will realize how wonderful and graceful our Lord was upon us. He would have protected us from the clutches of death a million times in the past years. Every breath we take and every step we take is because His love has no bounds. It is because we are the apple of His eye. He has selected us and not we. It is because He as graven us on the palm of His hands. He died that we may live and it is because He still lives and has his angels watch over us.

Life is because He was there for us on that day holding our hand firm as we treated on the rocky places not knowing our ground not even knowing to toddle properly with our weak legs. This is why He says that “My grace is sufficient for you”. Yes, His grace alone is enough for us to live in this world.

The song then goes on like this…..

Nadu kadalil naan kadhari azhudhavaelaiyil,
En Kural Kaettu ennai vandhu meeteerae,
Uyir pogum ena naan kalangiya vaelaiyil,
Um siragaalae moodinirae,

Which mean ‘When I cried out to you in the middle of the ocean, Lord you heard my voice and rescued me. When I shivered and feared for my life. Lord you covered me with your wings and protected me.

Our Lord is our pleasant help in times of trouble. The Psalmist says “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help”. The Bible is full of promises which will never fail. We stand on the unfailing promises of Jesus. Our ground is a solid rock and with Christ in our vessel we can anytime smile at the storm. He is always willing to lift us up from the clay and rescue us in times of trouble.

The last verse concludes bring in hope for the hopeless,

Edhir kaalam ennavendru theriyaadha vaelaiyil,
Pudhu paadhai neerae kaatinirae,
Kadhavugal ellaam moodiya vaelaiyil,
Suvaraiyae udaiththu vazhi amaitheerae,

The English translation for this verse is “When I did not know what the future held for me, Lord, you showed a new path to tread. When all the doors of opportunity shut on my face, Lord, you broke the wall and made a new way”.

The only hope for the Israelites was Mosses, the prophet of that age sent by God to lead them from captivity. But we, the spiritual Israelites, the bride of Christ are more blessed as we have our savior himself as our only hope in these last days. So, lets us cling on to him and walk according to His word and prepare ourselves for that glorious coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The theme of this song is love. When we look back at our past, we can see nothing but love alone. Tears roll down my cheeks as I look back at my life and then I can say just one word “LOVE”. Love is God, for God is love. What an awesome God I have. I can write a thousand pages and still say that I am at the beginning. So great this love is which is limitless.

This is a beautiful song which will turn the hearts of a million across this world towards the original and everlasting love of our maker and creator the Lord Jesus Christ....
