Have you heard of the quartet from Bangladesh called Aradhna? They compose songs in the Hindi language to offer as worship to the Lord Jesus Christ. Songs range from contemplative pieces like "Narahari" to strong rock numbers like "Jaago Logo." You can listen to several of their songs at their website, and read the English translation of the lyrics. From their 2004 album, Satsang, listen to "Gaao Re." I'll provide the lyrics in English and then in Hindi:
Sing oh Sky, sing oh Earth
Sing with me
My Lord Jesus has come today
And I am united with Him
I cannot stop my lips from singing
Sing you angels and birds of the sky
Play the music of the waves
Oh creatures of the deep
Peacock dance with grace
Take up a raga oh Sarangi and Veena
Play a taan oh Tabla and Sitar
Khanjari, shake and rattle with the music
Gaao gaao re ambar dharti
Gaao gaao re, gaao mere sang
Aaj Prabhu
aagaman huaa hai
Yeshu ji sang milan huaa hai
Aaj honth ruk na paaye
Duton gaao panchhi chachaao
Jal-jantu jal-tarang bajaao
Mor
thirak-thirak naacho re
Sarangi, Vina raag uthaao
Tabla, Sitar tum taan
milaao
Khanjari ab karo jhamkaar
