‘நான் அல்ல நீரே' / 'Naan Alla Neerae' is a simple reflection of the conviction that the Spirit of God brought forth in my heart, after I experienced a life-changing encounter in a humble Christmas celebration back in December 2006, conducted by Upper Room Youth Mission at Kellys, Chennai. These early days were clearly marked with unexplainable joy, conviction, courage in Christ & burden for the lost.
'Naan Alla Neerae' is the very first song I wrote during March 2008 as I read through Galatians 2:20 and committed to stand steadfast.
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Fast forward to 2020 during the COVID -19 lockdown, almost 13 years after I penned the lyrics, I stand as a testimony to confess the unbounded, unfathomable & unwavering Love of God, exhibited through his Mercy & Grace during each phase of my life. God has been patient in reminding His Laws & Promises to an imperfect & fickle being through the moments of ups & downs; times of success & failure; periods of loyalty & disobedience. This isn’t a proud confession that I was changed 'Overnight' or the work is 'Finished' in me, but a subtle revelation that I am a 'Work in Progress' and I yearn to 'Reflect the Christ' who dwells in me, in every way, every day! - Stephen Rajkumar
நான் அல்ல நீரே என் தேவா
நான் அல்ல நீரே என் ராஜா
பாவத்தில் தோய்ந்த என்னையுமே
பரிவாய் தூக்கி எடுத்தீரே
தீங்கு நாட்கள் சேரும் முன்
உம்மை நினைக்க உதவும் ஐயா
மாயை மாயை எல்லாம் மாயை
உம் அன்பை தவிர எல்லாம் மாயை
எலியாவை போல வல்லமையாய்
உலகை கலக்க அனுப்பும் ஐயா
Naan alla neerae en dheva
Naan alla neerae en raaja
(It’s not me, but it is Christ alone)
Paavathil thoaindha ennaiyume
Parivaai thooki edutheerae
(When I was soaked in sin, You graciously picked me up)
Theengu naatkal saerum mun
Ummai ninaikka udhavumaiyaa
(Help me to remember & cling to You, before the days of trouble could come)
Maayai maayai ellam maayai
Um anbai thavira ellam maayai
(All is vanity, except Your unchanging love)
Eliyaavai pola vallamaiyai
Ulagai kalakka anuppum aiyaa
(Use me like Elijah to bring a revival in this world)
'நான் அல்ல நீரே' - was released in the Audio CD ‘Umakkagave’ produced by Upper Room Youth Mission in 2009. The music was composed by K.Sam, additional Keys by Raj & Vocals by Dr. Harry, Lyric Video by Karthick David Joe (Blessed Man Branding - +91 739 746 6487)
I hope & pray that this song will minister to you. If you were blessed, write a comment or drop a note to njs.rajkumar@gmail.com / +91 994 100 9136
