Rain Kenya, Swahili Gospel Lyrics , , 1 Comment



(Sung in Swahili)
Refrain:
Nimekukimbilia Bwana, nisije nikaaibika (I run to you Lord, that I may not be shamed)
Nisije nikaaibika, nisije nikaaibika (That I may not be shamed)
Nimekukimbilia Bwana, nisije nikaaibika (I run to you Lord, that I may not be shamed)
Nisije nikaaibika, maishani mwangu (That I may not be shamed, in my life)

(Refrain)

Wewe tu ndiwe, usiyebadilika (You are the only one that never changes)
Na wanaokutumani hawataaibika (Those who rely on you will not be shamed)
Yesu fadhili zako zadumu hata milele (Your goodness endures forever)
Uaminifu wako wafikia vizazi na vizazi (Your faithfulness endures for generations)

(Refrain)

Yule mwanamke aliyetokwa na damu  (The woman with a bleeding disease)
Miaka kumi na miwili alikukimbilia (After 12 years, she ran to you)
Baada ya kuguza pinde la vazi lako (After touching the hem of your garment)
Hali yake haikubaki kuwa vile (Her condition was never the same)

(Refrain)

Batimayo kipofu pia alikukimbilia (Blind Bartimaeus also ran to you )
Yesu Mwana wa Daudi naomba unirehemu (“Jesus son of David, have mercy on me!”)
Ulifungua macho umejawa na rehema (You opened his eyes, you are full of mercy)
Nimekukimbilia nisije mimi nikaaibika (I run to you that I may not be shamed)

Bridge:
Ee Baba nimekuja kwako  (Oh Father I come to you) (x4)

(Refrain)

Wewe ni Bwana (x3) (You are the Lord)
Wewe ndiwe Bwana wa mabwana (You are the Lord of Lords)
Wewe ndiwe Mungu wa miungu (You are the God of gods)
Wewe ndiwe mfalme wa wafalme (You are the King of kings)
Wewe ndiwe Bwana wa mabwana (You are the Lord of Lords)
Unatawala, unatawala, (You reign, you reign)
Unatawala milele na milele (You reign Forevermore)
(Repeat)

(Sung in Swahili)

Chorus:
Nimevipiga vita vizuri, (I have fought the good fight)
Mwendo wangu nimeumaliza (I have completed my race)
Nayo imani nimeilinda (I have kept the faith)
Natarajia kupewa taji na Bwana (I expect to be crowned by the Lord)

Nikitazama nyuma sijuti haka (I do not regret my past, no)
Nimejifunza kusahau yaliyopita (I have resolved to forget my past)
Sasa najisukuma kwa yaliyo mbele (Now I focus on what is ahead)
Nikimfuata Yesu mwokozi wangu (As I follow Jesus my savior)

(Chorus)

Japo imani yangu imetikiswa (Though my faith is shaken)
Mimi nimeshikiliwa na Yesu wangu (My Jesus holds me safe)
Hata wakiniacha rafiki zangu (Though my friends abandon me)
Siri mimi niko na Imanueli (My secret: I abide with Emmanuel)

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Nifuateni, nifuatatavyo Yesu (Follow me, as I follow Jesus)
Yeye ni mwanzo na mwisho wa imani yetu (He’s the author and finisher of our faith)
Msishawishike na ulimwengu upitao (Don’t be temped by the fleeting world)
Tuvipige vita vizuri (Let us fight the good fight)

(Chorus)

Rain Kenya, Swahili Gospel Lyrics , , , , 7 Comments



(Sung in Swahili)

Pre-Song:
Oh Baba, mimi sina Mungu mwingine nimfahamuye (Oh Father, I don’t know any other God) Ni wewe pekee ujazaye Roho yangu (You alone fill my spirit)

Verse 1:
Sina Mungu mwingine, wa kutegemea (I don’t have any other God to depend on)
Mbinguni na duniani, hapana mwingine (Heaven and earth, there is no other)
Sina cha kupendeza, wala cha faida (I have nothing pleasing, or profitable)
Ila wewe Bwana wangu, Mungu wa milele (Only you my Lord, Everlasting God)

Verse 2:
Mwili na moyo wangu, vyaweza zimia (My body and heart may fail)
Bali Mungu ndiye mungu wa uhai wangu (But God is the God of my life)
Yeye sehemu yangu, milele daima (He is my portion forever)
Nitaingia hema yake, na sifa zake kuu (I shall enter his tent with praise)

Chorus:
Ni nani mwingine, ajazaye roho yangu (Who else fills my spirit)
Na kunipa raha kamili (And gives me full joy)
Ni nani semeni, akomboaye mwanadamu (Tell me who else saves man)
Na kumshindia shetani (and defeats the devil on his behalf?)

(Verse 1) + (Chorus)

(Sung in Swahili)

Hii ni ngoma ya wadhii wanafeel (This song is for those who feel)
kama Mungu amewasahau amechelewa sana (That God has forgotten them – He’s too late)
Round this ninataka tuombe pamoja tumkumbushe Mungu (This time I want us to pray together to remind God)
Atukumbuke na ikiwezekana akuje mwenyewe asitume malaika (To remember us and to come down instead of the Angels)

Mwambie Cherie, dada ya Jerry (Tell Cherie, Jerry’s sister)
Jirani wa Njeri, kutoka Jeri (Njeri’s sister from Jeri [Jericho])
Nilimwona Cherie bila renti, (I saw Cherie without rent)
akikopa senti kulipa madeni  (Borrowing money to pay debts)
Alikuwa na magonjwa, watoto wamefukuzwa (She was ill her children not at school)
Shuleni hakujalipwa, kazini amefutwa (School fees were unpaid, she’d lost her job)
Ukimwona mwambie, asilie (If you see her, tell her not to cry)
Atulie namshughulikia (To rest in me, I’m taking care of it)

Chorus:
Mwambie, mwambie, asilie sana (Tell her, tell her, not to cry)
Machozi yake nitayapangusa (I shall wipe away her tears)
Mwambie, mwambie, nampenda sana (Tell her, tell her, that I love her)
MAombi yake, nashughulikia (I am taking care of her prayers)

Mwambie Johnny, ndugu ya Bonny (Tell Johnny, Bonny’s brother)
Jirani wa tony, kutoka Doni (Tony’s neighbor from Doni [Donholm])
Nilimwona Johnny akilia woi (I saw Johny crying Woi)
Akisema story ilikuwa sorry (He had a sorry story)
Alikuwa amechakaa, bila pa kukaa  (He was unkempt with no place to stay)
Bila cha kuvaa, kajificha kwenye Bar (With nothing to wear, he hid in Bars)
Ukimwoma mwambie, asilie (If you see him tell him)
Atulie namshughulikia (To rest in me, I’m taking care of it )

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Ewe ndugu ukilia naye Mungu analia (My brother, God cries when you cry)
Ukiumia, anaumia (He hurts when you hurt)
Ukifurahia, naye anafuraia (Joyful when you are joyful)
Atakubariki, mwambie mwenzio (He will bless you, tell others that)

(Chorus)

Ndugu/Dada/Mama/Baba usilie (Brother/sister/mother/father don’t cry)
Mungu mwaminifu  (God is faithful)
Atajibu maombi yako, pokea  (He will answer your prayer – receive it.)
