African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn)

Ameniwaka huru kweli (He has truly set me free)
Naimba sasa: Haleluya! (I now sing Hallelujah!)
Kwa msalaba nimepata (For I have received on the cross)
Kutoka katika utumwa (Rescue from slavery) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Nimeokoka, nafurahi! (I am saved, I am joyful!)
Na dhambi zangu zimetoka  (My sins have been removed)
Nataka kumtumikia (I want to serve Him)
Mwokozi wangu siku zote (My savior in all my days) (Repeat)

Zamani nilifungwa sana (Once I was heavily bound)
Kwa minyororo ya shetani (By Satan’s chains)
Nikamwendea Bwana Yesu (I ran to the Lord Jesus)
Akaniweka huru kweli (He set me truly free) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Neema kubwa nilipata (I received great grace)
Kuacha njia ya mauti (Abandoning the path of death)
Na nguvu ya wokovu huo (And the strength of that salvation)
yanichukua siku zote (Carries me all the days) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Na siku moja nitafika (One day I shall arrive)
Mbinguni kwake Mungu wangu (In heaven where my God abides)
Milele nitamhimidi (Forever I shall praise  Him)
Na kumwimbia kwa shukrani (Singing to Him in thanksgiving) (Repeat)

(Refrain)
