There are songs that celebrate where we are, and then there are songs that remind us where we belong.
This week’s Song of the Week is Laut by Shifa Joseph & Soar India, a worship song built around the theme of homecoming. Written by Daniel Joseph, Shifa Joseph, and Emmanuel Joseph, and later adapted by Sheldon Bangera, the song is an invitation to return to God and rediscover the joy of His presence.
For Shifa Joseph, Laut is deeply personal. The song was born out of her own journey through a difficult season in life. After walking through a dark phase in her late twenties, she experienced God’s restoration and the gift of a fresh beginning. That testimony forms the heart of the song.
Speaking about its message, the team describes Laut as a call back to the altar. It’s a reminder that no matter how far we’ve drifted, God’s invitation remains open. As they put it, “Comeback is greater than the setback.”
Based in Bangalore, Soar India Official is a worship movement with a passion to build altars where people can encounter God. Through their music and ministry, they hope to point people back to Jesus and create space for genuine worship.
The song itself was first written during a devotional time shared by Shifa and her brother Daniel. What started as a simple moment of worship eventually became a song that now carries a message of hope for others.
If you’ve ever felt distant from God, Laut is a gentle reminder that His arms remain open. Home is still home, and the journey back begins with a single step.
Lyrics for “Laut” by Shifa Joseph & Soar India
Verse 1
Laut aaya hoon, mujhe choo le
Bhet laya hoon, kabool le
Pre-Chorus 1
Zindagi mein tha andhera,
Ab Tu aaya ban savera
Chorus
Laut aaya hoon main Tere charnon pe,
Rakh diya hai yeh dil Tere kadmon pe
Verse 2
Paas Tere hi sukoon hai,
Tujh ko paane ka junoon hai
Pre-Chorus 2
Zindagi mein koi darr nahi hai,
Jab saath mere har dam Tu hi hai
Chorus
Laut aaya hoon main Tere charnon pe,
Rakh diya hai yeh dil Tere kadmon pe
Every testimony of God’s faithfulness deserves to be told, and Laut does so through a simple yet sincere expression of worship. As you listen, take a moment to reflect on the ways God has been faithful in your own journey.
Let’s continue to support the artists God is raising across India and celebrate the stories of grace, restoration, and hope they share through their music.
