African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Refrain:
Niko hapa, naomba unikumbuke Baba (I am here, Father I ask that You remember me)
Ombi langu, na mimi unikumbuke Baba (This is my prayer, remember me too, Father)(Repeat)

Nimeona ukiinua wengine (I have seen You lift others up)
Kutoka chini kawapa nafasi nyingine (From humble beginnings, You gave them another chance)
Moyo wangu ikishuhudia kalia sana (My heart witnesses this and weeps)
Hata miguu yangu mimi, kaishiwa nguvu ya kuendelea (Even my legs have run out of strength to keep going)
Hali yangu mnyonge, sina kitu mfukoni kavu (My situation is desperate, my pockets are empty)
Bora siku sizonge, nimeweka tumaini kwako Mungu (No matter the difficulties, I have placed my hope in You, God)
Najua imani kidogo, yaweza hamisha milima (I know that even a little faith can move mountains)
Unaposaidia wengine, kuhamisha milima (As You help others to move mountains)
Nami unikumbuke Baba, nihamishe milima (Remember me too Father, and help me move mountains)
Niko hapa! (I am here!)

(Refrain)

Majaribu yakiwa mengi ninajua ni kipimo cha imani (When trials are many, I know they are a test of faith)
Ingawa yanatesa, tesa yanachanganya (Although they cause pain and leave me confused)
Hata walimwengu, wamenitosha na madharau yao (I’m tired of peoples’ contempt of me)
Basi fanya kitu kipya niwashuhudie (Do something new, that I may testify to them)
Mungu fanya jambo jipya niwashudie (God, do something new, so that I may testify to them)
Waone ukuu wako kwangu (Let them see Your greatness in my life)
Wayaone matendo yako kwangu (Let them see Your mighty works in my life)
Waone ukuu wako, ah (Let them see Your greatness)
Wayaone matendo yako, ah (Let them see Your mighty works)

(Refrain)
