Yesus Tuhan dan Rajaku

Hi, Jim here. This is the first malay song I wrote. How it came about? I was listening to some malay songs and thought of writing a christian song in malay. From then, the melody and words just came along as I go. Here it is. Don't worry. There's translation to it.

Yesus Tuhan dan Rajaku

by Jim Wu

Verse:

Yesus Tuhan Rajaku ( Jesus, my Lord and King)

Ku hendak jadi sepertiMu (I just want to be like you)

Pengasih serta penyayang (a lover , a carer)

s'bab Engkau hidupku tak kuseorang (because of you, I'm not alone)

........

Pre-Chorus:

walauku gementar, ku kan tetap pegang padaMu

(though I'm afraid, I will continue to hold on to you)

hidupku tak biasa, kerna adanya Engkau di hatiku

( my life is not the same because I have you in my heart)

..........

Chorus:

Yesus Tuhanku (Jesus my Lord)

serta Rajaku ( and my King)

Walau di tahtaMu (though you are at your throne)

tapi Kau tetap di sisiku ( but you are always by my side)

.

Penyelamatku (my saviour)

dan penebusku (my redeemer)

tiada lain yang sepertiMu, (there is non like you)

dalam hidupku hanya adaMu ( there's only you in my life)

Yesus Tuhan Rajaku (Jesus, my Lord and King)

.

.........

bridge:

Biar ombak bergelora ( the the oceans roar)

dan ribut hujan melanda (and the storms fall)

ku kan tetap berteguh dalamMu ( I will be strong in you)

.

walau hidupku berpayah (though my life isn't easy)

dan s'luruhku rasa lemah ( and the whole of me feels weak)

ku kan masih mengaku ( I will still confess)

kamu Tuhan Rajaku (You are my Lord and King)

.

.

This song basically talks about myself. When I'm going through tough times, it's God that I will trust. When I'm feeling weak, it's God that I draw strength from. When things don't go well, it's still God that I give thanks. On the whole, it's God that I want to be close with because when I'm close to Him, I shall not fear . Joshua 1: 9 " ...Do not be discouraged, do not be terrified. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. " Amen.
