African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Wewe ni mungu, (You are God)
Huchelewi wala hawai (You are never too late nor too early)
Unafanya mambo kwa wakati (You do things in Your perfect time)
Nakuamini (I trust in You)
Yale machungu (All the pain)
Hayakuja kunitoa uhai (Did not cost me my life)
Yalikuja kunipa imani ya kukuamini (They came to give me the faith to trust in You)

Pre-Refrain:
Nitakushukuru kama nikipata leo (I will give thanks if I receive today)
Nitakushukuru kama nikikosa kesho (And will thank you if I lack tomorrow)
Mi ninachojua we huna upendeleo (All I know is that you do not show favoritism)
Na fahamu zako zimenizidi upeo (And your thoughts are beyond my understanding)
Leo zamu yangu umenikumbuka na mimi (Today my turn to be remembered has come)
Mbona siamini, nitakulipa nini? (Why should I doubt? How can I repay you?)
Leo zamu yangu umenikumbuka na mimi (Today my turn to be remembered has come)
Mbona siamini, nitakulipa nini? (Why should I doubt? How can I repay you?)

Refrain:
Asante Baba (Thank you, Father) x3
Ninakushukuru Baba (I am grateful, Father) (Repeat)

Baba ninachojua wakati wako ni sahihi (Father, all I know is that Your timing is perfect)
Hivyo nitasubiria wakati wangu (And so I will wait for my time)
Wala sitolia lia (And I shall not cry)
Kwa ndugu na majirani (To my family and neighbors)
Ila ninachojua unaniona (All I know is that You see me

(Pre-Refrain, Refrain)
