ARHUDA

THE STORY BEHIND ARHUDA

Written by: Vijay Kondapuram
Modified by: Allen Ganta & Jonathan Wesley        

This song was birthed in a quiet moment of personal worship meditating on: 
📌 What is worship?
📌 Why do we worship?
📌 How do we worship?
📌 When do we worship?

In that stillness, the Holy Spirit spoke through Revelation 4:11, Romans 12:1, Matthew 16:24, and 2 Chronicles 20. From that revelation, Arhuda was birthed, a song that answers these questions.

📌 What – Worship is not just singing; it’s a life surrendered, a broken heart laid on His altar.
📌 Why – Because Jesus is worthy—not only for what He has done, but for who He is: the Lamb who was slain, the risen Savior, the Lion of Judah.
📌 How – By offering our lives as a living sacrifice, taking up our cross, and following Him daily.
📌 When – In every season and every moment, on the mountaintop and in the valley. Worship is our weapon.

Arhuda is a call to embrace worship as a way of life. Its core message is simple yet deep: God is Worthy (Arhuda) of all our praise because of who He is and all He has done. It invites us into deeper surrender and intimacy with Him not only in the moments we sing, but in every season, every battle, and every breath.

My prayer is that Arhuda becomes your anthem of worship through every challenge, every victory, and every step of your faith journey.

TU HI

Story behind the Song

TU HI is the Hindi version of the Telugu worship song Neeve which was released in 2019. This song was originally written in 2012 and is based on John 14:6, one of the 7 “I AM” statements of Jesus recorded in the gospel of John. In the old testament, when Moses asks God about who He is, God does not fully reveal His identity, but says “I AM WHO I AM”. In the new testament, Jesus unveils that hidden identity with the below 7 I AM statements recorded in John

  1. I AM the Bread of Life – John 6:35
  2. I AM the Light of the World – John 8:12
  3. I AM the Door – John 10:9
  4. I AM the Good Shepherd – John 10:11-14
  5. I AM the Resurrection and the Life – John 11:25
  6. I AM the Way and the Truth and the Life – John 14:6
  7. I AM the Vine – John 15:1-5

The vision of the song is to proclaim who HE is by using some of these statements.

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. 

Scripture References: Psalms 121; 1 John 5:14; Exodus 14:21-22; Daniel 3:24-25; Isaiah 45:2

NA DAROONGA

Story Behind NA DAROONGA

Psalm 91 has been a go to scripture whenever I needed God’s assurance and His promise for protection. I have long desired to write a song based on this Psalm, but was not able to until Covid-19 impacted the world.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, like most of us, I would wake up to messages or news of people losing their loved ones or jobs or businesses. I saw FEAR and ANXIETY among everyone around like never before and living miles away from the family, I also started to worry about their well being. As days of chaos and uncertainty turned into weeks and months, Holy Spirit put a melody in my heart and I started singing the words of Psalm 91 as a declaration. This marked the beginning of a fruitful journey.

I witnessed God’s faithfulness throughout the journey as He has led us through many challenges. Even during the making in Telugu, God used this song to strengthen the band members who were facing some personal battles.
 
Encouraged by the testimonies of how BHAYAPADANU has been a blessing to many during the past year, we translated it into Hindi. It is my prayer that God would use NA DAROONGA to bring HOPE into people’s lives during these tough times and remind everyone about His unfailing LOVE.
