African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Kinyarwanda)

Uwarufite inkoni yo kugucira urubanza (The One who held the rod to judge you)
Ni we Mwami wakwitangiye iyo ku musaraba (Is the Lord who died on the Cross on Your behalf) (Repeat)

Gir’ amahoro, mutima we (Be at peace, my soul)
Utuze kandi, utekane (Be calm and be secure)
Uwarufite inkoni yo kugucira urubanza (The One who held the judgement’s rod)
Ni we Mwami wakwitangiye, iyo ku musaraba (Is the King who died on the Cross in your place)
Ese yabash’ ate, guhinduka (How could He possibly become)
Umurezi wawe, kand’ ari we (Your accuser, when He is the One)
Wakumeneye amaraso y’igiciro cyinshi (Who shed His precious blood for you)
Amuvuye mu rubavu, akoz’ibyaha (Flowing from His pierced side, to wash your sins) (Repeat)

Chant:
Ubwoba ni ubwiki mutima we? (Why are you afraid, my soul?)
Tuza kand’ utekane (Be calm and at peace)
Dore wara-tsindishirijwe (Behold, you have been justified)
Nezererwa agakiza (Rejoice in the salvation)
Umwami yaguhaye (That the Lord has granted you)
Maz’ ubeho, ubeho neza (Now live, live well) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Uwo Satan’ andegaho ni we (The One before whom Satan accuses me)
Wambabariy’ ibyaha none natinya iki njyewe?
(Is the One who forgave my sins, what do I have to fear?)
Umwijima nagendeyemo, mbere y’umusaraba
(The darkness in which I once walked, before the cross)
Nta mategeko azawumpanira (No law will condemn me for it)
Satani we ufash’ ubusa (Satan, you have no case against me)
Isoni zikugarukeho (May shame return upon you)
Wowe se w’ikibi cyose (You, the source of all evil) (Repeat)
