African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Tuliona hatuoni njia (We could not see the way)
The road ahead was dark and long
Tulilia tukisema “Bwana tusaidie” (We cried saying “Lord help us!”)
We thought the storm would drown us
Lakini alitushika mkono (But He held our hand)
He held us through every night
Tulipotetemeka moyoni (When we trembled within)
His grace became the Grace we needed

Refrain:
Look at us now
Huu ni ushuhuda (This is a testimony)
Tulidhani yote hayangewezekana (We thought all was impossible)
You wrote a good story, Lord
With a beautiful ending
Umetupitisha juu ya mawimbi yote (You have safely carried us through all the storms) (Repeat)

Safari ilikuwa ya majaribu (The road was full of trials)
Mountains felt like they were closing in
Tulidhani tutafika mwisho  (We thought we had reached the end)
But He kept reminding us, “I am here”
Kila hatua ilikuwa ngumu (Every step was difficult)
Yet his mercies covered every tear
Tukasimama kwa ahadi zake  (We stood on His promises)
His promises kept drawing us nearer

(Refrain)

Sasa tukiangalia nyuma  (Now looking at the past)
We see His footprints in our pain
Kila jaribu tulilopitia (Every trial we passed through)
Became a bridge He used to lift us
Mafiga ya maisha yalitupiga (Life beat us up)
But He steadied us again and again
Na leo tuko hapa tukisema (And today we are here saying)
His faithfulness has never changed

(Refrain)
