African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Luganda)

Nkwebaza makubo g’ogadde (Thank you for the paths that You blocked)
Weebal’ essaala z’otazzeemu (The prayers You did not grant)
Ne byensabye n’otabimpa (And the things I asked for that You did not give)
Ondaze nti ggwe Katonda (You’ve showed me that You are god)
Nkwebaza bulumi mw’ompisa (I thank You for the pain I endure)
Weebale kuba tebumazeewo (Grateful that it has not destroyed me)
N’abandese nebagenda (Though I was abandoned)
Nze manyi olina ensonga (I know You have a purpose for me)

Oluyimba lukusuuta (This song is in praise of You)
Ondaze nti ggwe Katonda (You have shown me that You are God)
Ekitibwa kikugwana (You worthy of the praise)
Weebal’ amakubo gogadde (Thank You for the doors You’ve closed)
Nze mmany’ olina ensonga (I know You have a reason)(Repeat)

Refrain:
Ndowooza mu magezi gange nty’oba tokola (My wisdom leads me to doubt)
Bulumi mu mutima gwange nabwo busuka (My heart cannot handle the pain)
Mmenyeka nenserera ng’olumu wabula (I stumble and break sometimes)
Oluyimba lukusuuta (This song is in praise of You)
Nebwolitwala byonna byewampa ggwe wabimpa (You give and take away)
Nkusaba kimu ompe bulamu ebyo birikoma (Give me life, other things will pass)
Wansi mu mutima gwange mmany’ okiraba (Deep in my heart, I know You see it)
Nty’oluyimba Lukusuuta (That this song is in praise of You) (Repeat)

Byokka ebikusanyusa (Let only the things that praise You)
Bikolebwe mu bulamu bwange (Be done in my life)
Byokka byoyagala (Only what You desire)
Ndiwano, salawo nga bwolaba (Here I am, decide as You wish)
Ggw’ amanyi lwaki natondebwa (You know the purpose for my creation)
Nze era lwendigenda (You are familiar with all my ways)
Ggw’ amanyi makubo amalungamu (You know my paths)
Mmokka mwembeera mpita ate nga ndi naawe (Let me walk with You by my side)

(Refrain)

Oluyimba lukusuuta (This song is in praise to You)
Ekitibwa kikugwana (You deserve all the glory)
Weebal’ amakubo gogadde (Thank you for the paths You’ve blocked)
Nze mmany’ olina ensonga (I know You have a purpose) (Repeat)
