Purchase “Barua” Single
(Sung in Swahili)

Ni furaha ilioje Baba naitoa moyoni (What joy Father, pouring out of my heart)
Na nifuraha ilioje kwako usikie hewani (What joy for You to listen to this on air)

Ni barua ngapi nimendika kwa njia ya muziki?
(How many letters in song forms have I written?)
Na nyimbo ngapi nimeandika zisizo za riziki
(And how many not-for-profit songs have I written?) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Nikikwita mpenzi, mpenzi, mpenzi (Calling you my love, my love, my love)
Nikikwita Daddy (Calling you my Father) (Repeat)

Ili kufunga nilifunga ila siri sitaki wajue
(I fasted in secret so no one would know)
Msamaha nikaomba kwa magoti nisikuzingue
(Repenting on my knees so as not to grieve You) (Repeat)

(Chorus)

Ni barua yangu ya mapenzi nimeona niimbe
(It is my love letter that I’ve decided to sing)
Ni barua yangu ya mapenzi nimeona niandike
(It is my love letter that I’ve decided to write) (Repeat)

(Chorus)

Kama mapenzi msalabani ulifanya zaidi
(If it is love, you did more on the cross)
Na kama kipaji kwa burudani we kuwa nami
(If I have a talent in entertainment, abide with me)(Repeat)

(Chorus)

Wengi mjini wanaodai mapenzi kule walaghai
(Many in the city claim to love, but are liars)
Wana manabadili face kama kinyonga kamwe hawafai
(They change faces like a chameleon, and are no good)(Repeat)

(Chorus)

Ni barua yangu ya mapenzi nimeona niimbe
(It is my love letter that I’ve decided to sing)
Ni barua yangu ya mapenzi nimeona niandike
(It is my love letter that I’ve decided to write) (Repeat)

(Chorus)

Nimeubeba msalaba wangu (I have carried my cross)
Nikufuate wewe uliyenipenda (To follow You who loved me)
Nimeitua mizigo yangu kwako (I have surrendered my burdens to You)
Nakufuata wewe uliyenipenda (I follow You who loved me)

Bwana unatosha, wanitosha (Lord You are enough, You satisfy me)
Mungu wa agano, wewe wanitosha (God of promises, You satisfy me)

Nasalimu amri yako ee Baba (I surrender to your calling Father)
Sauti yako nimeisikia (I listen to your voice)
Umenivuta Bwana karibu nawe (You have brought me closer to You)
Karibu zaidi, natamani niwe (I desire to be even closer to You)

(Chorus)

We wangu uu sawa, sioni hofu (In you I am safe, I no longer fear)
Wanitosheleza, wanitosha (You satify me, You are enough)
Wengine mie sina, wewe wanitosha (I have no other, for You satisfy me)
Wanitosha, wanitosha (You satisfy me, You satisfy me)

(Sung in Swahili)

Chorus:
Sasa nangoja matokeo (Now I await the results)
Kutoka kwako jalali (From you my almighty God)

Mimi nimefanya mitihani mingi sana (I have sat for many tests)
Nimepitia madarasa mengi sana (I have passed through many lessons)
Kwa kila darasa Yahweh (In each class, my God)
Umekuwa mwalimu wangu (You have been my teacher)
Umenifunza kuomba, umenifunza subira (You taught me to pray, and to be patient)
Umenifunza kungoja Baba (Father You taught me how to wait)
Nimekuwa mwanafunzi mwema kwako Baba (I have been a good student to you Father)

(Chorus)

Usiku mrefu sana, mbona hakupambazuki? (It’s been a long night, where is the dawn?)
Nimejaribu sana kukupendeza maishani mwangu (I have tried to please You in my life)
Nimefanya kazi, hiyo umeona Yesu (I have done Your work, You’ve seen them Jesus)
Nimetoa fungu la kumi hiyo umeona Baba (I have tithed, Father You’ve witnessed )
Nangojea, nangojea matokeo yangu (Now I await my results)
Ulisema nikitoa, nitabarikiwa (For you said that I shall be blessed  when I give)

(Chorus)

Asubuhi ikifika, ije na kicheko (When morning comes, may it bring laughter)
Asubuhi ikifika, ije na amani (When morning comes, let it bring peace)
Asubuhi ikifika, ije na furaha (When morning comes, let it come with joy)
Asubuhi ikifika, ije na jibu langu (When morning comes, may it bring my answer)

(Chorus)

Rain Kenya, Swahili Gospel Lyrics , , , 1 Comment


(Sung in Swahili)

Chorus:
Zaidi ya yote (Above it all)
Utabaki kuwa Mungu mkuu (You’ll remain Almighty God)
Alfa na Omega (Alpha and Omega)
Hubadiliki kamwe (You the One that never changes)

Nikitazama nyuma na mbele (Before me and behind me)
Naona ukuu wako (I see your greatness)
Kaskazini, kusini pia (From the north and to the south)
naona ukuu wako (I see your greatness)
Magharibi nako mashariki pia (From the west, to the east)
Naona ukuu wako (I see your greatness)

(Chorus:)

Hakuna mkamilifu katika wanadamu (No one among me is more perfect/complete)
Zaidi ya ewe Mungu wangu (Than You, oh my God)
Kila goti lipigwe, kila ulimi ukiri (Let every knee bow, and every tongue to confess)
Kuwa wewe ni Mungu pekee (That You are God alone)

(Chorus:)

Umenipigania vita vikali (You fought great battles for me)
Ambavyo mimi singeweza pekee yangu (That I could not have fought alone)
Maadui waliniandama (My enemies followed me)
Lakini ukawatawanya kwa njia saba (But You scattered them seven ways)
Usifiwe, uabudiwe (Be praised, be worshiped)

Bridge:
Unabaki kuwa (Mungu tu) (You remain – the only God)

Chorus:
Kimi rutoito, kimite banda o (We are pilgrims, we are travelling)
Kibendi gaa Jerusalem (We are going home, to Jerusalem)

Ngonyuni Kimite, koma nenyonet (This world is not ours)
Kiwo kochobwech Jeso nenyonet koret (Jesus has gone to prepare us a home)
Asi ole mi, kemi ak echei (So that where He is, we may be also)
Kimite rutoito, kimitei banda o (We are pilgrims, we are on a journey)

(Chorus)

Betusiekap chi ko nwagen eng’ ng’onyuni (The days of man are few on earth)
U sogek che restos, urwet che labati (It is like withering grass, or a passing shadow)
Tos ichobotu kimwa ko bo ile (Do you fight as he commanded?)
Kataruget ne mie, ageni kutwet o (I fight the good fight, I await my crown)

(Chorus)

Ara ongigilgei, onge chechem banda o (So we should carry on,  and press forward)
Amu mi Jeso kobotech agoi kagesuno (For Jesus is with us until the end)
Ogerro nyone Jesu, nam mising’ noto itinye (Look Jesus is coming, hold closely to what you have)
Asi magibenek chi, Utweng’ung’ (That no-one may steal your crown)

(Chorus)
