African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Yu upande wangu, anahuisha nafsi yangu (He is on my side, He restores my soul)
Ni Baba yangu, niko naye sina shaka (He is my Father) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Bwana hilo pendo lako (Lord, Your Great Love)
Alilipa gharama ya uzima wangu (Paid the price for my life)
Tena hilo pendo lako (By that great Love)
Alinipenda kwanza, upendo (He loved me first)
He’s my Daddy, Daddy o (Repeat)

Hakuna giza itanipata (There is no darkness that would overcome me)
Nikiwa nawe nimejipata eh (For I have found myself in You)
Wewe ni Baba yangu (You are my Father)
Hata adui hatoniweza (There is no enemy that can prevail against)
Mimi nimeshinda zaidi ya kushinda (For I am more than a conqueror)
Niko nawe ngome yangu (I am sheltered in You, my Fortress)
Nimeona, umenivusha magumu (I have witnessed Your support in trouble)
Leo ninashuhudia kwako (Today I testify of Your Goodness)
Bwana nimeona, umeniponya magonjwa (Father I have seen You heal sickness)
Leo ninashuhudia kwako (Today I testify of You)

Wakati wa jua, kivulini mwako wafunika (In the sun, You cover me with Your shadow)
Kivulini wako wan’funika, Daddy o (You shelter me in Your shadow)
Tena wajua, mimi napo baridi kali (When the cold is against me)
Wan’kumbata m’bawani mwako, Daddy o (Daddy, You embrace me in Your wings) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Repeat: He’s my Daddy, Daddy o
He’s my Daddy o
Amenikumbata mbwawani (He has embraced me with His wings)
Amenificha pendoni (He has sheltered me in Love)
He’s my Daddy o (Repeat)
