Telugu Lyrics
ఆకాంక్షతో – నేను కనిపెట్టుదును
ప్రాణేశ్వరుడైన – యేసుని కొరకై
పావురము – పక్షులన్నియును
దుఃఖారావం – అనుదినం చేయునట్లు
దేహవిమోచనము కొరకై నేను
మూల్గుచున్నాను సదా ఆకాంక్ష
గువ్వలు- గూళ్ళకు ఎగయునట్లు
శుద్దులు తమ- గృహమును చేరుచుండగా
నాదివ్య గృహమైన – సీయోనులో
చేరుట నా ఆశయే ||ఆకాంక్ష!

Song History & Meaning
Composer / Hymnodist: Traditional / Worship Minstrels
"Aakaangkshatho" captures the deep, holy longing of a soul yearning for its true home with Jesus. Just as birds naturally seek their nests at evening, our hearts find no permanent rest until we are fully reunited with our Lord in Zion. In a world full of temporary trials, this song invites us to lift our eyes above daily struggles and fix our hope on eternity. May this sweet longing draw you closer to Christ today, knowing that He is faithfully preparing a place for you.
