Daddy God Lyrics by Niyo Bosco

(Languages: Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, English, Kiswahili)

Burya wari uhari (You were there), when I was wondering
Lost and alone till your right time
I was nobody, before you counted me in
When I needed you the most, nimekuona (I have seen You)
Maisha yangu ni testimony (My life is a testimony)
Kubwira abantu ko wantunze inkoni (Telling people you gave me a chance)
Ntabwo bijya bintera isoni (I am not embarrassed)
Nasema asante (I say thank you)
For all the battles you fought for me
For every broken piece that you fixed
Ndumva umutima wange uganjwe n’amashimwe (My heart overflows with praise)

Pre-Refrain:
Narwanaga intambara zikomeye (I fought hard battles)
Nibwiraga ko nge ubwange nzishoboye (That I thought I could fight by myself)
Ndatsindwa cyane nsanga ari wowe nkeneye (I failed so hard, and find that it is You I need)
None dore uko unyitaho (And look at how you talk care of me)

Refrain:
Daddy God, Daddy God
I thank you for Your affection
All along, you’ve been so, so close in every situation
Daddy God, Daddy God
You dey move in every season
All along, you’ve been so, so close in every situation
No hesitation, nina (I have) protection
Ntabwoba bw’ejo Baba God uri maso (I’m not afraid of tomorrow, Father God You are awake)

When I couldn’t see the way, You made it clear
Baba Mungu (Father God) you took away all my fears
You told me “My child, I dey always here”
Ibyo ndabyumva ngatuza, ngateta nk’umwana uri kwa Papa (I hear this and calm down like a child at His father’s house)
Kubwira amahanga yose ibyo wankoreye (I will tell all the nations what You have done for me)
Ndumva aribyo bya mbere bindyoheye (I feel like this is the first time I’ve tasted it)
Of course, I don’t walk alone, ’cause you lead me on
You never leave your own, you always make me shout “Hallelujah!”

(Pre-Refrain + Refrain)

Emmanuel, You are my Lord
Mercy grace follow me
You loved me before I even knew You (that’s how good Your love is)
I run away from You, but You never would (that’s how good Your love is)
You fill me with Your Spirit
I’ll tell the whole world what You’ve done for me

Pre-Refrain:
I believe with all my heart, Lord
‘Cause everything You say is true
I can’t live without You one more day
I give it all, I give it all, to You

Refrain:
I was losing my way, You never turned away
How could You call me friend, after all I’ve done?
I searched all over (all over)
I’ve been all over (all over)
There was nobody, then Jesus called my name
And He blessed me, and He blessed me

And He blessed me, He pulled me closer
And He blessed me, He opened my eyes

I’m gonna Love like You taught me, I’ll follow Your words
I want to put my heart out to You
When I wake up in the morning
I’ll lift my hands in a sky
I say thank you Papa God, I love you Lord

(Pre-Refrain + Refrain)

He pulled me closer, And He blessed me,
He opened my eyes, And He blessed me,
Oh how he loves, and He blessed me
Abundantly, and He blessed me
He is number one, and He blessed me

Ndashima uwo mwami wabantu (I praise that king of men)
Ikuzo ribe iryawe mwami (Glory be to you, King)
Icyubahiro cyibe icyawe (Honor be unto You)
Ni wowe ubikwiye (You are worthy)

Uwo nkunze ntamuzi (You don’t know whom I love)
Uwo mwami w’ishyamba ryera (He who rules over the sacred forest (?))
My Lord, and my God eh
