Intro:
Uuh uuh uh
This is it
Ooh Yes
I was made for this

I was made for this, to know your tender kiss
To know this love was mine, to know this love was ours
And was made to laugh, I was made to sing
given the gift of life, you gave me everything
My feet were made to dance, my spirit made to soar
My life is not by chance, You give me more and more
I was made to dance, i was made to sing
I know what stole my joy, I left it at the cross

Chorus:

Dis one na my heritage (This is my heritage)
Dis one na my culture (This is my culture)
Dis one na my tradition (This is my tradition)
I go follow Jesus (I’ll follow Jesus)
I go carry de gospel welu welu (I’ll spread the gospel very well)
I go carry Jesus higher higher (I’ll lift Jesus higher)
His mercies no dey cease (His mercy never cease)
E love no dey die (His love doesn’t die (unending))
(repeat)

For a very long I’ve come to know, I am from another country
For a very long time, I’ve come to know I am from another nation
My name is Jahdiel I come from Zion
I’m representing the most high Lord
I speak in tongues, I heal sick
By the power of Jesus in me
This is my way of life this is the thing I do
I am a christian, I am born again

(Chorus)

Oh I was made for this, to know your tender kiss
To know this love was mine, to know this love was ours
And was made to laugh, I was made to sing
given the gift of life, you gave me everything
My feet were made to dance, my spirit made to soar
My life is not by chance, You give me more and more
I was made to dance, i was made to sing
I know what s, I left it at the cross

(chorus)

(refrain)
Help me carry Jesus oh Help me carry Jesus oh
help we carry am (for all) to see
help me carry am … well well

Help me carry Jesus oh
Help me carry Jesus oh
help we carry am (for all) to decide

Rain Swahili Gospel Lyrics, Tanzania , , , Leave a comment


Verse 1:
Nafurahia mateso yangu, nafurahia mateso yangu
(I rejoice in my persecutions)
Ujapoharibika mwili huu, tapata mwingine kwa Baba
(Though this body be destroyed, I’ll get another from the Father)
Ujapoharibika mwili huu, tapata mwingine kwa Baba
(Though this body be destroyed, I’ll get another from the Father)

Chorus:
Nakaza mwendo, nifike Mbinguni (I press on to reach heaven)
Nayakabidhi, maisha kwa Bwana (I give my life to the Lord)
Nauone, uzuri wa bwana (That I may see his goodness) x2

Taabu na matatizo, hakuna (No more troubles and trials)
Kiu wala njaa, hakuna (No more thirst or hunger) x2

Verse 2:
Lakini mji ule taa yake, ni mwana kondoo (But in the city its light is the lamb)
Milele mji ule hauitaji, jua wala mwezi (Forever it does not need the sun or the moon)

Najua kuishi kwangu ni pigo, kufa ni faida (I know life is a burden, to die is to gain)

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Lakini waongo na wazinzi, hawataingia (But the liars and fornicators, shall not enter)
wala waabudu sanamu, hawataingia (Neither will the idolaters enter) x2

Najua kuishi kwangu ni pigo, kufa ni faida (I know life is a burden, to die is to gain)

(Chorus)

(Sung in Swahili)

Chorus:
Yesu wee nakupenda, bwana yesu wee nakupenda(My Lord Jesus I love you) x2
Kama vile wewe ulivyo nipenda kwanza nakupenda (As you loved me first, I love you)
Kisha tena ukautoa uhai wako nakupenda(Then again you gave up your life, I love you)
Kama vile wewe ulivyo nipenda kwanza nakupenda (As you loved me first, I love you)
Kisha tena ukautoa uhai wako nakupenda(Then again you gave up your life, I love you)
Yesuuuu, yesu (Jesus)

Msalabani dhambi zangu ulichukua,(You took my sins at the cross)
Kufika kalivari Bwana ulizitua(At calvary Lord you relieved me)
Nami niwekwa huru ninakwimbia,(Now I am free I praise you) (Repeat)

Nikufananishe na nani mwokozi wangu,(Who do I liken you to my saviour?)
Naona fahari mimi ninakuimbia(I am priviledged to praise you)
Nani asimame badala yako,(Who can stand in your stead?)
Hakuna mwingine ni wewe pekee yako(There’s no one but you) (Repeat)

Nafahamu Yesu anipenda mimi (I know that Jesus loves me)

(Chorus)

Nilipokuwa kwa shetani niliugua,(When I was of the devil I suffered)
Ndugu na jamaa zangu walinikimbia(My family and friends ran away from me)
Lakini yesu wa huruma ukanihurumia,(But merciful Jesus was merciful to me)
Nikufananishe na nani mwokozi wangu,(Who do I liken you to my saviour?)
Naona fahari mimi ninakuimbia(I am priviledged to praise you)
Nani asimame badala yako,(Who can stand in your stead?)
Hakuna mwingine ni wewe pekee yako(There’s no one but you)

Nafahamu Yesu anipenda mimi (I know that Jesus loves me)

(Chorus)

Kwimake eeh, kwimake weh,Kwimake weeh, kwimake eh
Kwimake mundewa Yesu,oh kwimake eh
kunilapa kwe ruhoma baba, oh kwimake weh
kunilapa kwe ruhoma baba, oh kwimake weh
Kwimake baba, kwimake baba, Kwimake baba, kwimake baba
Kwimake mundewa baba,oh kwimake eh
Jaga kyala, jaga kyala, jaga kyala baba, jaga kyala
Asante mwokozi wangu, uh asante eh,Asante mwokozi wangu, uh asante eh

Rain Kalenjin Gospel Lyrics, Kenya , 1 Comment


//Note: This one was one of the hardest lyrics to write because I am not from the Kipsigis tribe and I haven’t spoken Kale in a while 🙂 So if you see any errors (I know they are there), leave me a note and I will be happy to edit accordingly. God bless you.

Verse 1

Kiyai Jehova eng togunet, muren ak cheb
Akonechi mugulelwekwek, kiy tab kamang’un
Kotunjo konyek ko mi ki moet ne leele Kwany
Mie ingogeer age ak age baba, kosibeshi
Kiyak ngalale chamyetab kwanda ak murenik
Chamyet daktari neng’ung’ irib, kogonun asenet
Chamyet che bo iman kogonun kainet, sige keljin wee
(?) Kwanda ne tinyei hasara, konu asenet o

Chorus:

Soman kirwogik wee taman ak mut, koitetab lok soman ak itestai
Kiinere Samson o kobelit ngano, koi korom chamyet bele emet
Kibengei chamyet o, ne gonu hasara, kigas agobo samson ak delila
Kiringa Samson kong’an siri, kebal konyekyi we bara chamyet o

Verse 2:

Geere koitos chek tuptem ak mut name agenge
King’et koroito ne kibal bik, elfusiek che chaang
Ta mami ne yaas ko geere ng’ony, ko kiberur bik
ker kou gi ukimwi ne ka gotar bik ukmwi we
Obwanjin jesu we asikosaruon, akogonok beek we chebo sobon
Che tisei melelda tugul kamwa, che si kong’ung’et we sobonekwok

Verse 3:

Kigos shechem weritab hamor che kicham dinah
Kolen kwo goito kibwa kelenjin we achicha
Soman taunet kosom ak ang’wan kosiir […]
Kiba bik tumdo wee,(kibaa wee)
Kiba bik tumdo bikap shechem we tumdap murenik (kiba wee)
Korom chamyet, chamyetab dinah, kii […] bik
Mato kot kobwat kole kinyaljin ko chito agenge
Ne kicham chepto we (kiba we eh)
Bik somok ak kebar kobek, ki kono hasara chamyet noto (kibar biik oh)
Kiba bik tumdo bikap shechem we tumdap murenik (kiba wee)
Korom chamyet, chamyetab dinah, kii […] bik (kiba wee)

Verse 4:

Korintoek ne tai lok tuptem ak mut, soman iwe tai kot ko iit tuptem asi iguiyet Ne ile bortangung’ ko hekalutap tamirmiriet, ng’o jehovah ak arip anyun
kainai ile makiriotek chi ng’alekchono we, kichigili (kichigili)
Kichigili o mama, kichigili baba, kichigili korok we, kichigili sigenai
Yai betusiek chu we kiguur/kiyai harusi, eng ne matianit we we batchu nero (?)
kaso o lakwano kenyoru sandet o, obe daktari, sige … korok we
kaso sandana kenyoru murere, obe daktari, chepto komeng’isiei
