Kaa Nami (Abide in Me) Lyrics by Israel Mbonyi

1 Comment


(Sung in Kiswahili)

Kutakuwa milima haitaondolewa (There will be mountains that will not be removed)
Kutakuwa na mito, na sitaweza kuvuka (There will be rivers I cannot cross)
Sio kila ombi, litajibiwa nipendavyo (It is not all prayers, that will be answered as I ask)
Sio kila wimbo, utakaotuliza moyo (Not every song, will calm my spirit)

Nimekupata, nina mtetezi (I have found You, I have an Advocate)
Unionyeshe, njia zako (Show me Your Ways)
Nikujue (That I may know You)

Refrain:
Ikiwa nimepata neema kwako, unikumbuke (If I have found favor in Your eyes, remember me)
Jicho lako liwe juu yangu nyakati zote (Your eye to be on me all the time)
Wema wako unisindikize, hadi tamati (Your Goodness escort me, until the end)
Hili ni ombi langu, nakumwagia moyo (This is my prayer, I pour my heart to You)
N’nachoomba kaa nami, ikiwa nimepata neema kwako
(I pray that you abide with me, if I have found Grace before You)

(From the Top)

Kumbuka hayo mema niwaombeayo, wanaonifurahia (Remember the good I pray for those who rejoice with me)
Maadui zangu nao, uwape kukujua (And to my enemies, let them know You)
Uwabariki kwa utele, uwanyeshee mvua (Bless them to overflowing, pour Your rain on them)
Yamkini watapata kuona, wapumue upendo (So that they may see you, and breathe love)
Tunaoshiriki hii huduma, uwape uamsho
(The ones we serve in this ministry, grant them Your revival)
Uwabariki kwa utele, Baba wala isishie
(Bless them to overflowing, Father–that it would be forever)
Tunaoshiriki hii huduma, uwape uamsho
(The ones we serve in this ministry, grant them Your revival)
Uwabariki kwa utele, Baba wala isishie
(Bless them to overflowing, Father–that it would be forever)(Repeat)

(Refrain)

Kwa maswali na majibu (In times of questions and answers)
Umasikini utajiri (In poverty and riches)
Usumbufu utulivu (In troubles and peaceful times)
Ewe Mwokozi kaa nami! (Oh Savior, abide with me!)
Kwa kupanda kwa kushuka (In rising and falling)
Habari za kuvunja moyo (In heartbreaking news)
Kwa uzushi na uongo (In heresies and lies)
Ewe Mwokozi kaa nami! (Oh Savior, abide with me!) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Kinyarwanda)

Bwo intambara zazag’ umusubirizo (When wars break against me over and over)
Nabonaga kwambuka ari ihurizo  (And I am besieged on all sides)
Isoko y’indirimbo yari yarakamye (When the source of my songs had run dry)
Umurab’ ukambwira ko wantereranye (And the wave whisper that you’ve forsaken me)

Erega nubwo ntakubonaga waruhari (You were there even though I couldn’t see you)
Ahubwo nuko nari naguy’ isari (But it is because I had perished)
Mana waraje maz’ unkora ku mboni (God you came and opened my eyes)
Urandamir’ unkura mu usoni (Rescued me took away my shame)

Refrain:
Uri umwami utajya ubura uko ugira (You are the Lord who never fails)
Ni wowe ujya umpanagura amarira (You are the one who wipes my tears)
Uhor’ umpisha aho umwanzi atagera (You keep me away from the enemy’s reach)
Abakwiringiye bos’ urabimana (You protect those that trust in You)

Refrain 2:
Uri Yhaweh naya mashimwe n’ ayawe (You are Yahweh and all these praises are yours)
Unkuye mu mwijima unyomoy’ inguma (You took me out of the dark and healed my wounds)
Yesu we umbambiye ihema (Oh Jesus, you set sacred tent for me) (Repeat)

Ubu sinkiri imbata y’ubwoba (I’m no longer a slave to fear)
Umwami anshyize mu mababa (The Lord put me in His tent)
Uburinzi bwe burushije imbaraga (His protection is more powerful)
Inkubi y’ibindega (Than my failures)

Urongeye unyeretse imbabazi (You have showed me Your mercy again)
Unyeretse n’ubushobozi (You have shown me Your might)
Umbohoye ingoyi nta kiguzi (You broke my chains without a price)
Unkuye kuri uyu musozi (And taken me out of this mountain)

(Refrain + Refrain2)

Unkuye mu mwijima unyomoye inguma (You took me out of the dark and healed my wounds)
Yesu we umbambiye ihema (Oh Jesus, you set the tabernacle for me) (Repeat)

Sikiliza (Listen) Lyrics by Israel Mbonyi

(Sung in Swahili)

Kwa sasa ya dunia (Now the earthly things)
Kwangu ni kama yameangikwa (For me, they are now crucified)
Yaliyokuwa faida (What was gainful to me)
Nayahesabu kama hasara (I count them all as loss)
Sikiliza dunia, ujue kwamba mimi si wako (Listen world, and know that I do not belong to you) x2

Refrain:
Nimehesabiwa haki (I have been justified)
Kwa damu yake Mtetezi (By the Blood of  The Advocate)
Jina langu limeandikwa (My name has been written)
Kwenye Kitabu cha Uzima (In the Book of Life)
Sikiliza dunia, ujue kwamba mimi si wako (Listen world, and know that I do not belong to you) x3

(From the Top)

Sasa maumivu hayanitishi (Now I am not afraid of my suffering)
Nitayasahau kwa Yesu (Because I will forget at Jesus’)
Haijadhihirika nitakavyokuwa (It has noy yet been revealed what I shall be)
Tutafanana akidhihirika (We shall be like like Him when He makes himself known)
Ewe mbingu, yakiri haya maneno (Oh world, heed these words)
Ai we! Kweli dunia Mi si wako (Ai We! Truly world, I do not belong to you)

(Refrain)

Oh… ujue kwamba mimi si wako (Oh… know that I do not belong to you) x?
