If it had not been for the Lord
Who was always on my side
The enemy would have swallowed us
Would have drowned in their waters
But our souls have found an escape
A hiding place in You
The Fowler’s snare – is broken
Our help, is in the Name of the Lord
Refrain:
I’m nothing without You, without You,
You are the air that I breathe
Can’t live without You, without You Jesus
In You I live and move and have my being
Hosanna! to Jehovah,
You are the air that I breathe
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
In You I live and move and have my being
Refrain:
Baba nichukue, nifunze (Father take me and teach me)
Nataka kusoma, Kwa shule Yako (I want to study in your school)
Kwa shule Yako (Your school) (Repeat)
Nikiwa nawe kama mwalimu (Having you as my Teacher)
Ninajua nitahitimu (I know I will qualify)
Nitashinda adui akileta majaribu (I will defeat the enemy’s temptation)
Unitayarishe, unibadilishe (Prepare me, change me)
Mtihani nipite, mwito nitimize (To pass my trials, and fulfill my calling)
Nijue kuandika (To know how to write)
Niandike maono yangu (That I may write my visions )
Nijue kuhesabu (To know how to count)
Nihesabu baraka zako (That may count Your blessings )
Nijue kuongea (To know how to speak)
Nihubiri neno lako (That I could preach your Word)
Kwa watu wako (To Your People)
(Refrain)
Shule Yako hatundanganywi (There is no lying in your School)
Ni ukweli na uwazi (Only truth and transparency)
Wanafunzi hawagomi (Students do not need to strike)
Mwalimu atujali (For the Teacher cares for us)
Unifunze nidhamu, Wote niwaheshimu (Teach me discipline, for all to respect me)
Yesu ni Mwalimu, Yesu ni Mwalimu’ (Jesus is the Teacher, Jesus is the Teacher)
Nijue kuandika (To know how to write) Niandike maono yangu (That I may write my visions ) Nijue kuhesabu (To know how to count) Nihesabu baraka zako (That may count Your blessings ) Nijue kuongea (To know how to speak) Nihubiri neno lako (That I could preach your Word) Kwa watu Wako(To Your People)
No other name above the Name of Jesus
Yesterday, today, forever… Jesus
Refrain:
There’s no other Name like Yours
In heaven, earth, beneath the earth
Every knee should bow to the
Name of Jesus, Jesus
No other Name that heals all pain, Jesus
No other Name gives peace of mind, Jesus
No other Name that breaks strongholds, Jesus
No other Name that gives me joy, Jesus!
(Refrain)
Bridge:
We worship You
O precious Jesus, You are the Great I AM
Precious Jesus, You are the Morning Star
Precious Jesus, You are the Prince of Peace
Precious Jesus, You are my everything
(Refrain)
Xa bufik’ubumnyama (When darkness falls)
Nobubi emlhabeni (And evil fills the world)
Intliziyo yob’ilindele (My heart awaits)
Intsindiso noluncedo (For redemption and help)
Umasendiwelile (When I cross over)
Ngaphesheya Kwe-Jordane (To Jordan’s other shore)
Ingelosi Yob’ isindibiza (The Angels will call my name)
Etroneni kaYehova (Before Jehova’s Throne)
Refrain:
Ziyosulw’inyembezi (My tears will be wiped away)
Nokufa nezintsizi (Of sorrow and death)
Ayibalwa iminyaka (Neither the years)
Ubusuk’ abukho (Nor the nights will be counted)
Yonk’imihla yemihla (For the rest of my days)
Ndiyoculel’ iNkosi (I will sing of the Lord)
Inyembez’ zosulwe nya (Who wipes away all tears)
Uvalo luphele nya (All fear is gone)
Hla sengifika kuye(When I get before Him)
Yena wongibamba ngesandla (He will hold my hand)
Andomba’ this’ ingubo (And put his cover over me)
Besemina njalo ngihlale naye (And I will forever dwell with Him)
