Telugu Lyrics
పల్లవి:
విలపింతువా నెహెమ్యావలె? – విలపింతువా ఎజ్రావలె? (2)
కూర్చుండి దుఃఖముతో ఉపవాసముతో (1)
పడిపోయిన ప్రభుని యింటిని గూర్చి విలపింతువా? (2)
1. ఆత్మీయ గ్రహింపు లేకయే – ఆత్మ ఐక్యంబు కోల్పోతిమి (2)
ఎటుచూచిన ప్రభు యిల్లు పడిపోయెను – ప్రభు ప్రత్యక్షత కోల్పోతిమి (2)
2. అగ్నిచే కాల్చబడిన గుమంబులన్ – పడిపోయిన ప్రాకారమున్
పునఃనిర్మించి నిందను తొలగించెదమా? ప్రభు హస్తంబుతోడుండగన్
3. ఆత్మీయ ప్రేమ సహవాసంబుతో – ఆత్మకలిగించు ఐక్యతతో
ఒకరినొకరు క్షమించి, సహించుచు – ప్రభు ప్రత్యక్షత పొందెదమా?
4. నెహెమ్యావలె హృదయంబుల చింపుకొని – పశ్చాత్తాపముతో ప్రభుని చేరి
ఒక చేత ఆయుధము పట్టుకొని – ప్రభుయింటిని కట్టెదమా

Song History & Meaning
Composer / Hymnodist: Songs of Zion
This song gently invites us to share the heart of God, just as Nehemiah and Ezra wept for the broken state of His people. When spiritual unity fades and God’s presence seems distant, we are called not to despair, but to bend our knees in earnest prayer. With the gracious hand of the Lord upon us, we can begin to rebuild what has been broken around us. May we respond with compassionate hearts, uniting in Christ's love to see His church restored and His glory revealed once again.
📖 Related Scripture Passages:
- Nehemiah 1:3-4: “They said to me, "The remnant who are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire." Now it happened, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of Heaven.”
- Ezra 9:1-3: “Now when these things were finished, the princes came to me, saying, "The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, haven’t separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, following their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. For they have taken some of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have mixed themselves with the peoples of the lands. Yes, the hand of the princes and rulers has been chief in this trespass." When I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded.”
- Psalm 51:17-18: “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. Do good in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.”
