Good Friday devotional song penned by Suja George, wife of Energy Minister, K. J. George
Good Friday is one of the holiest days for the Christian community, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in 33 AD, when he sacrificed his life for the redemption of humanity’s sins. Observed on the Friday preceding Easter, the day is marked with prayer, fasting, and solemn church services, symbolizing reflection, repentance, and devotion.
Ms. Suja George, wife of Karnataka’s Energy Minister K. J. George, has penned the lyrics of a deeply moving devotional song inspired by the profound words of Jesus Christ on the cross: “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.” The composition reflects the message of compassion, sacrifice, and forgiveness that defines the spirit of Good Friday.
The music for the song has been composed by noted music director Ouseppachan, with soulful vocals rendered by singer Leo Rison. The adaptation credits go to Louis Menesez and Lijo Jose of Megjee Audios, Bengaluru, where the song was recorded. The mixing and mastering have been carried out by Sai Prakash, while the video has been directed by Dinson Devassy.
The song beautifully captures the prayer of Jesus Christ seeking forgiveness for humanity, even as he endured immense pain and suffering during the crucifixion. Through its heartfelt lyrics and evocative music, the composition aims to inspire reflection on the values of faith, forgiveness, and redemption that Good Friday represents.
