Twelve Songs for Christmas: Serbia

The next song of our series comes from Serbia, written by Avdija Jasarević. The name of the song is ‘o spasenje roda ko anav e isuseso‘, which means ‘We Seek Salvation in the Name of Jesus‘ in Roma. You can enjoy this beautiful worship song below, or here.


About This Song

This is Roma Gypsy song written by Avdija Jasarević, a pastor from South Serbia (pictured to the right).

A Note From Avdija:

I lead an Evangelical church in southern Serbia, in the city of Vranje, called Emanuel Church. I’ve been married for about 20 years and have a 15-year-old son. My ministry is especially focused on the Roma community in and around Vranje. Our church, Emanuel, organizes evangelistic gatherings, revival meetings in Roma settlements, as well as youth meetings. What I long to see in this season is young people who are hungry for God and who change the world like the early Church.

Roma Lyrics

O Spasenje Rodav ko Anav e Isusesro 

Devla to anavi najbaro , silno injan i najmocno o spas tutar me rodava Devla Bicaldjan e Isuse amenge svako greh bolest ov te lel o spas amenge ov te anel

Isuse mardo kuvdo cungardo injanle sa adava trpindjan zbog amenge tu amen anglo devel te opravdine Isuse ko tle vasta pre ekserija kuvdje sa adava trpindjan zbog amenge o spas amenge tu te ane

English Translation

We Seek Salvation in the Name of Jesus

God, Your name is the greatest; You are mighty and powerful. I seek salvation from You. God, You sent Jesus for us, to take upon Himself every sin and sickness, and to bring us salvation.

We seek salvation in the name of Jesus. We seek deliverance in the name of Jesus. We seek healing in the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus is the most powerful and mighty.

Jesus, You were beaten and rejected; You endured all of that for us, to justify us before God. Jesus, Your hands and feet were pierced with nails; You suffered all of this for us, to bring us salvation.

We seek salvation in the name of Jesus. We seek deliverance in the name of Jesus. We seek healing in the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus is the most powerful and mighty.
