Vechiyunnanu

Story Behind the Song

Psalm 121, a song of Ascents is sung by the Israelites during their journey to Jerusalem which is situated on a high hill. Pointing upwards, Hills are a great reminder that as believers, we should always look up to the Most High when life’s journey becomes difficult.

Dear friend, where are you in your life’s journey? 

  • Are you in a season of disappointment? 
  • Are you exhausted? 
  • Are you facing mountains that are too big?  

If yes, who are you turning to, for help?

Family? Friends? Doctors? or someone who is in power? 

While there is nothing wrong in seeking help from others, it is my humble prayer that this song serves as a reminder to look to the Most High as our help comes from Him!!!

May the Lord who made a way by parting the waters and rescued His people from the burning furnace move the mountains and make a way. Amen!!

My Inspiration to write this song comes from my mother’s prayer which typically begins with Psalm 121:1-2.

  1. Praise the Lord brother, Good to hear this song from you which showed exactly the same situation we went through. He is the God who is able to move the mountains and keep his promises. Make us walk through dry land and stay with us in furnace.

    But there is a small correction in second bridge I guess.
    BRIDGE 2 (X2)
    Parvathamulanu – Tholaginchumu
    Nee vaagdanamunu – Neraverchumu

    In English it says You move the mountains and fulfill your promises. I think the verse in telugu should be
    Parvathamulanu – Tholaginchthivi
    Nee vaagdanamunu – Neraverchithivi

    God already moved the mountains in our lives and kept his promises many times. I think we should not ask Him again to do so which He has already done in our lives.

    Whole song looks like worshipping God for what He has done in our lives and again asking Him to do it which He has already done would be like questioning our trust.

    • Praise the Lord, brother!

      I believe the author’s intention is to convey that in a human life, we often face problems as enormous and immovable as mountains. In such overwhelming situations, the author completely surrenders everything to God, trusting Him to take care of it. That’s why he sings, “Parvathamulanu tholaginchumu” (meaning “Remove these mountains” or “Move these mountains for me”). At the same time, he humbly prays, “Ni vagdhanamu neraverchumu,” which expresses total submission: “Let Your will be done, not mine.”
