African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Ee moyo wangu tulia tulia kwa bwana (Oh my heart, be still, be still in the Lord)
Usinipeleke kwaenye tamaa za dunia (Lead me not to the world’s desires)
Tulia moyo wangu, tulia moyo (Be still my heart, be still, heart)
Usinigombanishe, na Mungu Wangu (Do not make me quarrel with my God)

Refrain:
Ewe moyo acha kiherehere sukuma damu (Oh heart, stop being restless, and just pump blood)
Moyo, acha kiherehere sukuma damu (Heart, stop being impatient, just pump the blood)
Unanigombanisha na Baba, na Baba yangu (You make me fight with my Father)
Unanigombanisha na Mungu, na Mungu wangu (You make me disagree with my God)
Ewe moyo, acha kiherehere tulia kwa Bwana (Heart, stop being restless, and be still in the Lord)

Ee moyo wangu tulia, tulia kwa bwana (Oh my heart, be still, be still in the Lord)
Chuki, hasira zisinitenge na uwepo wa Bwana
(That hatred and anger, may not separate me from the Lord)
Tulia moyo wangu, tulia moyo (Be still my heart, be still, heart)
Usinigombanishe, na Mungu Wangu (Do not make me argue with my God)

(Refrain)

Ee moyo wangu tulia, tulia kwa Bwana (Oh my heart, be still, be still in the Lord)
Dhambi na mizizi zake isiote ndani yangu (That sin and its roots, do not grow within me)
Tulia moyo wangu, tulia moyo (Be still my heart, be still, heart)
Usinigombanishe, na Mungu Wangu (Do not make me quarrel with my God)

(Refrain)
