Dua (Prayer) Lyrics by Alice Kimanzi

Leave a comment


(Sung in Swahili)

Hali hii yangu (My current situation)
Isiwe nafasi ya kuto msifu Mungu (Should not be a time to forget to praise God)
Mahali nil’ofika pasi ninung’unishe moyo (Where I have reached, to not let my heart complain)
Daima nimshukuru (But forever to thank Him)
Nafsi yangu ‘sisahau (My self to not forget)
Yale yote ametenda (All that He has done for me)
Kwa upendo wake mwema (Through His Great Love)
Kanizingira kwa neema (And surrounding me with Grace)
Moyo wangu, vuta heri kwa subira (My soul, find joy in waiting)

Refrain:
Atajibu dua langu (He will answer my prayer)
Kwa njia Yake, na wakati Wake (In His way and in His time)
Atajibu dua langu (He will answer my prayer)
Kwa njia Yake, na wakati Wake (In His way and in His time)
Moyo tulia (Be still my heart)

Najua njia hii si rahisi (I know that this is not easy)
Natambua mlima huu umezidi (I understand that this mountain is difficult)
Uwezo wangu (Beyond my capability)
Egemeo ni Yesu tu (The fortress is only Jesus)
Na hata giza likija na mashaka pia (Even if darkness and doubts come)
Yazibe macho yangu (To veil my eyes)
Bado nitazidi, kwani Ye aliahidi (I will still continue, for He promised)
Nasadiki Neno lake kweli (And I believe His Word to be true)

(Refrain)

Kwani Yeye anakuona (For He sees you)
Tena Yeye anakujali (moyo tulia) (And He also cares for you (Be still my heart))
Anahisi uchungu wako (He senses your pain)
Tulia, tulia (Be still, be still)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn)

Yesu kwetu ni rafiki (What a friend we have in Jesus)
Hwambiwa haja pia (All our sins and griefs to bear)
Tukiomba kwa Babaye (What a privilege to carry)
Maombi asikia (Everything to God in prayer)
Lakini twajikosesha (O what peace we often forfeit)
Twajitweka vibaya (O what needless pain we bear)
Kwamba tulimwomba Mungu (All because we do not carry)
Dua angesikia (Everything to God in prayer)

Una dhiki na maonjo (Have we trials and temptations?)
Una mashaka pia (Is there trouble anywhere?)
Haifai kufa moyo (We should never be discouraged)
Dua atasikia (Take it to the Lord in prayer!)
Hakuna mwingine Mwema (Can we find a friend so faithful)
Wa kutuhurumia (Who will all our sorrows share?)
Atujua tu dhaifu (Jesus knows our every weakness)
Maombi asikia (Take it to the Lord in prayer)

Je, hunayo hata nguvu (Are we weak and heavy laden)
Huwezi kuendelea (Cumbered with a load of care?)
Ujapodharauliwa (Though your friends despise you)
Ujaporushwa pia (Though they forsake you?)
Watu wange kudharau (Though you are despised)
Wapendao dunia (By worldly people)
Hukwambata mikononi (In his arms he’ll take and shield you)
Dua atasikia (You will find a solace there)

(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn)

Ni tabibu wa karibu (The great Physician now is near)
Tabibu wa ajabu (The sympathizing Physician)
Na rehema za daima (And with His everlasting Mercy)
Ni dawa yake njema (Is His )

Refrain:
Imbeni, malaika (Sweetest note in seraph song)
Sifa za Yesu Bwana (Sweetest Name on mortal tongue)
Pweke limetukuka (Sweetest carol ever sung)
Jina lake Yesu (The Name of Jesus)

Hatufai kuwa hai (We are not supposed to be alive)
Wala hatutumai (Neither have hope)
Ila kweli yeye ndiye (But in only in Him)
Atupumzishaye (Do we find our rest)

Dhambi pia na hatia (All our sins and guilt)
Ametuchukulia (He has forgiven us all)
Twendeni na amani (Let us go our way in peace)
Hata kwake Mbinguni (Until His Heaven)

Huliona tamu jina (How sweet is the Name)
La Yesu Kristo Bwana (Of Jesus Christ our Lord)
Yuna sifa mwenye kufa (He has praise the one who died)
Asishindwe na kufa (Who defeated death)

Kila mume asimame (Every man should stand)
Sifa zake zivume (So His praises may spread)
Wanawake na washike (The women too should continue)
Kusifu jina lake (To praise His Holy Name)
