African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Spoken:
Kama una kila sababu ya kumshukuru Yesu (If you have every reason to give thanks to Jesus)
Uachie tu moyo wako kwa Bwana (Just surrender/yield your heart unto the Lord)
Usiku tupo tayari kumwambia Yesu asante (Tonight we are ready to say, “thank you Jesus”)
Tupo tayari kumshukuru Yesu, (We are ready to give thanks unto Jesus)
Tuko tayari kunyanyua sauti zetu kwake (We are ready to lift up our voices unto Him)
Kwa sababu amekuwa mzuri kama nini kwetu (For how good He has been unto us)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

Siwezi kukumbuka (I cannot recount)
Baba, mara ngapi uliponya afya yangu (Father how many times you healed me)
Siwezi kukumbuka (I cannot recount)
Baba mema yote umefanya maishani mwangu (Father, all great things you have done in my life)
Mimi siwezi kukumbuka Baba mara ngapi (I cannot recount, Father, the times)
Ni mara ngapi Yesu, uliponya afya yangu (How many times Jesus You’ve healed me)
Wala tena siwezi, iwezi kuhesabu yale mema (I cannot recount all the good)
Umefanya maishani mwangu (That You’ve done in my life)

Siwezi kukumbuka (I cannot recount)
Baba, mara ngapi uliponya afya yangu (Father how many times you healed me)
Siwezi kukumbuka (I cannot recount)
Baba mema yote ul’otenda maishani mwangu (Father the good You’ve done in my life) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Nasema asante, Yesu! (I just want to thank You, Jesus!)
Nasema asante kwa uliyotenda (I just want to thank You, for all You have done) (Repeat)

Kwenye giza nene Baba (Father, In the deepest of darkness)
Mbele yangu uliweka nguzo ya moto (Before me, You placed a pillar of fire)
Kwenye jua kali Baba (Under a scorching sun, Father)
Juu yangu ulitanda wingu lako (You spread your cloud over me) (Repeat)

Tukisema tueleze mambo (If we were to speak)
Ya juzi uliyofanya, mbona jana umefanya mengine mengi Yesu (We could tell of Your works)
Tumerudi kukushukuru (We’ve returned to give thanks)
Baba yetu kwa uliyotenda (Father, for all that You have done)

Tukisema tuseme yale ya jana (If we were to speak of yesterday’s)
Mbona hata leo umefanya mengine (Even today, You’ve done more)
Tumerudi kukushukuru baba (We’ve returned to give thanks, Father)
Kwa uliyotenda (For what You have done)

Tukisema tuseme yale ya leo (If we were to speak of today’s)
Tunaimani na kesho utafanya mengine (Even tomorrow You’ll do more)
Tumerudi kukushukuru Baba (Father we’ve returned to give You Thanks)
Kwa uliyotenda (For what You have done)

Asante kwa uhai, asante kwa afya (Thank You for life, thank You for health)
Asante kwa uchumi, asante kwa furaha, Yesu (Thank You for provision and for joy)
Nasema asante kwa uliyotenda (I thank you for all You have done)

Tumerudi, tumerudi, tumerudi, kusema (We’ve returned to say)
Tumerudi kusema ni asante (We’ve returned to say thank You)
Twasema asante kwa uliyotenda (We say thank You for all You have done)

Umekuwa Baba mwema kwetu (You have been a good Father to us)
Mwema kwetu (Good to us)
Tunasema asante kwa uliyotenda (We say thank You for all You have done)

Umetuepusha na majanga yale (You’ve spared us from harm)
Yesu umetukinga (Father You have shielded us)
Tunasema asante kwa uliyotenda (We say thank You for all You have done)

Adui hakupata nafasi (The enemy found no opportunity)
Hakupata nafasi (Found no opportunity)
Twasema asante kwa uliyotenda (We say thank You for all You have done)

Sisi tumerudi, sisi tumekuja (We have returned, we have come)
Twasema asante kwa uliyotenda (We say thank You for all You have done)

Ulitupa maji sehemu yenye jangwa (You gave us water in the desert)
Ulifanya njia pasipo kuwa na njia (You made a way where there was no way)
Twasema asante kwa uliyotenda (We say thank You for all You have done)
