(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)

Kwa ajili yako mimi naishi (Because of you I’m alive)
Pasipo wewe singekuwepo (Without you I would not be here)
Mimi ni kazi ya mikono yako (I am the work of your hands)

Baba ninaona nikuabudu (Father I prefer to worship you)
Maana matendo yako ni mengi sana (Because your works are many)
Ishara zako Baba ni nyingi mno (Your signs are many)
Maana wewe ndiye Mungu wangu (Because you are my God)
Uliniumba niseme matendo yako (You created me to tell of your actions)
Wewe ndiwe Mungu wa miungu (You are the God of gods)
Wewe kimbilio letu na ngome yet (You are our fortress and help)
Hakuna aliye kama wewe (There is no one like you)

Maneno ya kusema yananikosa ( I am lost for words)
Maana matendo yako ni ya ajabu (Because your works are wondergul)
Maana ishara zako ni nyingi  (Because your signs are many)
Kwa macho nimeona makuu yako (With my eyes I have seen your  greatbess)
Masikio nimesikia matendo yako (My ears have heard your works)
Ndio maana nimetambua (That is why I know)
Ya kwamba niliumbwa nikuabudu (That I was created to worship you)
Mungu wa milele (Everlasting God)

(Chorus)

(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Ombi langu Mungu wangu: (My prayer my God:)
Naomba nikusikie (I pray that I will listen to you)
Na moyo wangu wote, (With all my heart,)
Niishie ushuhuda wangu (to live according to my testimony)
Ili yote iwe sawa na moyo wangu (That all may be well with my soul)

Nipe moyo wa kutii, nifanye mapenzi yako (Grant me an obedient heart, to do your will)
Moyo uliyo haki, moyo uliyo safi (A just heart, a clean heart)
Moyo wa kunyenyekea, moyo wa upendo (A humble heart, a loving heart)
Nifundishe njia zako, nisikutende dhambi (Teach me your ways, that I may not sin against you)

Nipe moyo wa kutii nifanye mapenzi yako x4 (Grant me an obedient heart, to do your will)

(Refrain)

Nifundishe njia zako, nisikutende dhambi x4 (Teach me your ways, that I may not sin against you)

(Refrain)

Nipe moyo ulio haki; moyo ulio safi x4 (Grant me a just heart; a clean heart)

(Refrain)

Nipe moyo wa kunyenyekea, moyo wa upendo x4 (Grant me a humble heart, a loving heart)

Leave a comment


(Sung in Swahili)

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Refrain:
Hakuna wa kufana naye (There is no one like Him)

Hakuna wa kufanana na Yesu (There’s no one like Jesus)
Hakuna wa kulinganishwa nawe (No-one to be compared to you)
Hakuna mwingine kama wewe Bwana (No one like you Lord)
Hakuna duniani kote Baba (No one in all the world Father)

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Uinuliwe, uinuliwe, uinuliwe (Be lifted high)
Alinifia msalabani (He died on the cross on my behalf)
Akazibeba dhambi zangu zote (And carried all my sins)
Akachukua masikitiko yangu (He took all my troubles)
Magonjwa yangu yote akajitwika (He carried all my sickness)

Pokea sifa (Receive all praise)
Uinuliwe (Be lifted high)

Hakuna wa kufanana na Bwana/Nissi (There’s no one like the Lord/Nissi)
Ukiinua unainua kabisa (When you lift, you lift high Jesus)
Juu mbinguni hakuna kama wewe (Up in heaven, there’s no one like you)

Pokea sifa (Receive all praise)
Milele hakuna kama wewe (Forever and ever, there’s no one like you)
Juu mbinguni hakuna kama wewe (In heaven there’s no one like you)
Maishani mwangu, hakuna kama wewe (In my life, there’s no one like you)
Oh, hakuna kama wewe (Oh, there’s no one like you)

Wewe watosha (You are enough)
Upewe sifa (Be given praise)

Ak mamitei kiy ne temenen o (And nothing is impossible with Him)
(Repeat)

Tos ne ye isome? Ne noto iminy? (What are you praying for? What troubles you?)
Kale Jesu, ibun miletabung’un, (Jesus said, bring all your burdens to)
Som ak sigegonin, Ikonygony as sigeyatun(Ask:you’d be given, knock:it’d be opened)
Agei tugul isomei, Kigochin mwae Jehovah(What you ask you’ll be given says the Lord)
Inan agobo Hannah, kirorechi Penninah (Remember Hannah; how Peninah jeered her)
Ago eng Iet – kigochi werit Samuel (Yet at the end – she was given the son Samuel)
Kimitun, telel imangu Jesu (He’ll meet you; Stand firm and wait on Jesus)
Sobei Jesu, ma ko lo asikolawalun (Jesus is alive, it will not be long that He’ll answer)

(Chorus)

Kiinyalil kiber akike sastainen (You’re discouraged and feeling abandoned)
Kitugul ne iyae mebore ak mekesei (Everything that you does not flourish)
Amengomen muguleldab kayane (Do not lose the heart of faith)
Amengeisten kwane walutik (And do not give up your hope)
Kasartab kiptaiyat, ko notok ne chamat (God’s timing is that of love)
Igen name tabtabten amu sabei Jesu (Hold on and wait, because Jesus lives)
Neging’et lazaro, kiwal bek koek divai (He raised Lazarus & changed water to wine)
Kipchenyak ne birir (He who parted the Red Sea…)

(Jesus lives, and nothing is impossible for Him)

Kiichengate kerichek kolenjin daktari mami
(You’ve searched for cure, the doctors says there’s none)
Kiichengate boisiek kelenjin mamitei boisio
(You’ve looked for work and been told there’s none)
Kiibet lagoguk, kibet eng’ (?) ak magosomanet
(You’ve lost your children to the world)
Kas amwaun, kas amwaun, ale: angen ale
(Listen as I tell you that I know that)
Sobei, Sobei Jesu (He lives, Jesus lives)

Bwana Mungu wangu weee (Oh Lord my God)
Umenikombowa eee (You’ve rescued me)
umeniwezesha mimi, wewe ni mkuu (You’ve enabled me, you are great)
ukaniita kwa jina langu eeeee (You called me by my name)
Ukaniwezesha bwana eee (You enabled me)
Nikuabudu bwana nikuimbie (to worship and to sing for you)
Nilipokuwa kwenye dhambi, (When I was still in sin)
Ukanionyesha mwanga mwanga (you showed me your light)
Wewe ni mwanga wangu (you are my light)
Bwana wewe ni mkuu. (Lord, you are great)

(Chorus)

Bwana mungu wangu eee (Oh Lord my God)
Wewe ulimsaidia ayubu (you helped Job)
Alipokuwa na shida nyingi (when he was overwhelmed with troubles)

Neno lako linasema unazo fedha eeeeee (your word says you have silver and gold)
Zote nizako bwana wewe ni muweza (all belongs to you Lord, you are mighty)

(Chorus)

Wakati ninazo shida na magonjwa (When in problems and diseases)
Bwana unasema tuliite jina lako ( Lord you say that we call on your name)
Wewe ndiye muweza wewe ndiye mwenye nguvu (You are able, you are mighty)
Wewe ni kimbiliyo Baba waweza mambo yote (You are a fortress Father, you are able)

(Chorus)

Unaweza, unaweza, unaweza, Baba unaweza …
(You are able you are able, Father you are able)…
