Diwasi Poojaka Rajeku Se Lyrics
Obata maa me de wadaale
Obawa thoraa path kale
Mage supuwatha bedaa dennata
Diwasi pujaka rajeku se
Epaa innata baye nihadawa
Mage supuwatha sagawaalaa
Naha podi naha mata
Lowa galaweemata oba balawath kara yawami maa
Obata maa me de wadaale
Obawa thoraa path kale
Mage supuwatha bedaa dennata
Diwasi pujaka rajeku se
Obe sitha thula sadaa nomiyena sathya nomaraa pawasanne
Epaa maa athahara duwannata obayi diwasiya handa mage
Obata maa me de wadaale
Obawa thoraa path kale
Mage supuwatha bedaa dennata

This is the thing I have declared to you:
I have chosen you and appointed you
to go and spread my good news,
like a prophet, a priest and a king
Do not stay silent in your fear,
hiding away my good news
you are not too small for me,
to save the world I make you strong and send you out
This is the thing I have declared to you:
I have chosen you and appointed you
to go and spread my good news,
like a prophet, a priest and a king
The truth that never dies, held forever in your heart,
speak it, do not let it die
do not run away and abandon me,
you are my prophetic voice
This is the thing I have declared to you:
I have chosen you and appointed you
to go and spread my good news,
like a prophet, a priest and a king

Diwasi Poojaka Rajeku Se Song Meaning and Interpretation
This is a commissioning hymn, and unusually it is sung in the voice of God, or of Christ, speaking to the believer. Its whole message is a calling: “I have chosen you and appointed you to go and spread my good news.” The threefold description of that calling, “like a prophet, a priest and a king,” draws on an old Christian idea that every believer shares in the three offices of Christ himself, who is Prophet (who proclaims God’s word), Priest (who offers and intercedes) and King (who rules and serves).
The heart of the song is God’s encouragement against fear. “Do not stay silent in your fear, hiding away my good news.” The tempting thing, when called, is to keep quiet and feel unworthy, and God answers that directly: “you are not too small for me; to save the world I make you strong and send you out.” The commission comes with the promise of strength to fulfil it.
The final verse names what must be carried, “the truth that never dies, held forever in your heart,” and pleads that it be spoken, not buried, “do not run away and abandon me, you are my prophetic voice.” What the listener is left with is a sense of dignity and responsibility together, the astonishing news that God chooses ordinary people, makes them prophet, priest and king, and entrusts them with his good news, asking only that they not let fear silence the truth he has placed in their hearts.
