NO MORE GOING BACK, I HAVE TAKEN UP THY CROSS

YOUR LIFE IS NOT YOUR OWN(Nee Unakku Sontham Allave)

DEAREST GRACE BOUNDLESS

       This beautiful song tells that the life that we live is not our own, it has been borrowed, sold to sin and redeemed by pure blood vanquishing all our sins. You must have heard this same message a thousand times but if you take just a minute to reflect on it, you will understand how true and alive it is.

    The tune itself is too lovely to express just by words for you can feel the pain in the long drawn notes and the message is more vivid and clear, its God's own tune, the way of song to praise how boundlessly He loved this world. THE DANGER TOO IS VERY REAL AND ALIVE for the song says, past sins have a tempting nature and will draw us in at the very last minute. We have nothing to fall back on, except God and his grace. Please do hear the song and God will speak to you through the beautiful lyrics in it. May God bless you today and forevermore.

                                    NEE UNAKKU SONTHAM ALLAVE 

Lyrics:

Nee Unakku Sontham Allave
Your life is not your own
Meetka patta pavi-2
O Redeemed Sinner

Nee unakku sontham allave
Your life is not your own for
Nimalan Kirustu Nadhar Ke Sontham
It belongs to your Lord Christ forever

Siluvai Marathil Thongi Marithare
 For your Lord hung on the wretched tree for you
Thiru Ratham Ratham Thiruvilavil Vadiyudhu Pare
Behold His pure blood bleed through his sides
Valiya Parisathal Kondare
A great price has He paid
Vana Magimai Unakkivare
To bestow you heavenly glory

Indha Nandriyai Maranthu Ponayo? Yesuvai Vittu
Have you forgotten this love, my soul? Leaving your Lord
Engeyokilum Maraindhu Thirivayo
Have you lived a life of wandering and hiding
Santhatham unathithayang Kayamum
 Your body, soul and life
Sami Kiristinudaya Thallavo
Belongs to your Lord Christ

Pazhaya Pavathaasai Varugudo? Pasasinmele
Do desires of your past sin return? Does evil
Patcham Unakku Thirumba Varugudho
Beckon and tempt you with past pleasures
Azhiyum Nimishath Thasai Kattiye 
For Satan tempts you at the last moment
Akkinikadal Thalluvanen?
To push you into the eternal furnace of hell

Pizhaikinum Avarke Pizhaippaye; Ulakaivittu
When you are saved, live for Him
Piriyinum Avarke Marippaye,
When you leave, leave for Him
Uzhaithu Marithum Uyirtha Nadhanin,
And you will rest by the side
Uyarpadaviyil Endrum Nilaippay.
Of your dear Lord who died and rose just for you.
