African Gospel Lyrics

(Languages: Kikuyu, Kiswahili)

Nyambatĩte kĩrĩma kĩrĩ na hinya (I am scaling a mountain that is not easy)
Na thutha thũ no ĩndengeretie (Behind me the enemy still pursues me)
Ngũigua ta ingĩikara thĩ niĩ hurũke (I want to sit and take a break)
No ningĩ thũ nĩ ĩkũnyita (But the enemy will catch up to me) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Harĩa gachũmbĩrĩ, nĩ ndĩrona Jesũ (At the summit, I see Jesus)
No anjetereire, ndĩkie rũgendo (Waiting for me, to finish the journey/race)
Ahĩmbĩrie na moko make meerĩ (To embrace me in His arms)
Na anjĩre we wĩ mũtoria (And tell me I am victorious) (Repeat)

Ngihe hinya gĩtũmi niĩ nĩnjũĩ (I take courage with the knowledge that)
Jesũ wakwa noanjetereire (My Jesus is waiting for me)
Ahũrukie mathĩna mothe mathĩ (To give me rest from troubles of the world)
Na anjĩre “we wĩ mũtoria” (To tell me, “you are victorious”) (Repeat)

— In Kiswahili
Pale kilele, namuona Yesu (At the summit, I see Jesus)
Ananisubiri, nimalize salama (Waiting for me, to finish the race)
Anikumbatie kwa mikono yake (To embrace me in His arms)
Na aseme mi ni mshindi (And tell me I am victorious) (Repeat)
