Jesuni Oba Ma Lagin Innawa Lyrics
Jesunee, oba maa lagin,
Innawaa mata danenawaa
Obagen kohedo athata yanne?
Obagen kohedo maa sagawenne?
Mama swargeta nagee giyath, oba ehi inne
Polawe kelawaradith, oba hamuwanne
Dewiduni maa sitha obathuma wimasanne
Obagen sagawunu sithuwili mata naththe
Obagen kohedo athata yanne?
Obagen kohedo maa sagawenne?
Mawkusehi thanena witath, oba maa danne
Rahasin wadenaa wita maa handunanne
Obage neth, maa gathawetha yomuwenne
Bihiwennata pera salasuma oba danne
Obagen kohedo athata yanne?
Obagen kohedo maa sagawenne?ජේසුනී ඔබ මා ලගින් ගී පද
ජේසුනී, ඔබ මා ලගින්,
ඉන්නවා මට දැනෙනවා
ඔබගෙන් කොහෙදෝ ඈතට යන්නේ?
ඔබගෙන් කොහෙදෝ මා සැඟවෙන්නේ?
මම ස්වර්ගෙට නැගී ගියත්, ඔබ එහි ඉන්නේ
පොලවේ කෙලවරදිත්, ඔබ හමුවන්නේ
දෙවිඳුනි මා සිත ඔබතුම විමසන්නේ
ඔබගෙන් සැඟවුනු සිතුවිලි මට නැත්තේ
ඔබගෙන් කොහෙදෝ ඈතට යන්නේ?
ඔබගෙන් කොහෙදෝ මා සැඟවෙන්නේ?
මව්කුසෙහි තැනෙන විටත්, ඔබ මා දන්නේ
රහසින් වැඩෙනා විට මා හඳුනන්නේ
ඔබගේ නෙත්, මා ගතවෙත යොමුවෙන්නේ
බිහිවෙන්නට පෙර සැලසුම ඔබ දන්නේ
ඔබගෙන් කොහෙදෝ ඈතට යන්නේ?
ඔබගෙන් කොහෙදෝ මා සැඟවෙන්නේ?Jesuni Oba Ma Lagin Innawa Lyrics English Translation
Jesus, I can feel it,
you are here, right beside me
where could I ever go, far from you?
where could I ever hide from you?
Even if I climbed up into heaven, you are there
even at the very ends of the earth, you would meet me
my God, you yourself search my heart
I have not one thought that is hidden from you
where could I ever go, far from you?
where could I ever hide from you?
Even as I was being formed in the womb, you knew me
as I grew there in secret, you recognized me
your eyes were turned toward my body
even before I was born, you knew the whole plan of me
where could I ever go, far from you?
where could I ever hide from you?

Jesuni Oba Ma Lagin Innawa Song Meaning and Interpretation
This is a hymn built almost entirely on one of the most intimate passages in the Bible, the 139th Psalm, in which the poet marvels that God knows him completely and is present everywhere. The song makes that ancient wonder personal and immediate: “Jesus, I can feel it, you are here, right beside me.” From that felt nearness comes the question the whole hymn circles, asked not in fear but in awe, “where could I ever go, far from you? where could I ever hide from you?”
The first verse answers with the Psalm’s sweeping picture of God’s presence: “even if I climbed up into heaven, you are there; even at the very ends of the earth, you would meet me.” There is no height or distance beyond his reach. And the same God who fills all space also sees all the way inside: “you yourself search my heart, I have not one thought that is hidden from you.” To be so fully known could be frightening, but here it is comfort.
The final verse reaches back before the singer’s life even began, echoing the Psalm’s astonishment that God knew him in the womb. “Even as I was being formed in the womb, you knew me; as I grew there in secret, you recognized me,” and “even before I was born, you knew the whole plan of me.” What the listener is left with is the deep security of being utterly known and never alone, a God so close and so all-seeing that there is nowhere to flee, and, wonderfully, no reason to want to.
