Kenya, Swahili Gospel Lyrics, Tanzania Kelsy Kerubo, Nasonga Mbele, Nasonga Mbele Lyrics, rose muhando, Tangazo kwa Mapepo Leave a comment
(Sung in Swahili)
Nimeshapata (I have received) x2
Tangazo, tangazo kwa mapepo na wajumbe wako (Announcement to the devil and his messengers)
Mimi sirudi nyuma kamwe (I will never turn back)
Mmapetuli nao nawapa habari (I have an announcement to the detractors)
Walisema sitasonga, mi nasonga mbele (They said I will be stuck, but I’m pressing on)
Huyu Yesu, ni mwache niende kwa nani? (This Jesus, if I leave Him, where would I go?)
Huyu Yesu, mimi namtazamia juu juu (This Jesus, I will continually look up to Him)
Refrain:
Nasonga mbele, kama mgambo (I’m pressing onward, like a ranger)
Sirudi nyuma, sirudi nyuma kamwe (I do not turn back, never do I turn back)
Nainua macho yangu juu (I lift up my eyes)
Mawazo yangu yote juu (All my thoughts are of on high)
Kila kitu changu chote juu kwake (All my plans are on Him)
Ananipenda! (For He loves me!)
Hivi ni nini kitachonifanya nimwache Mungu (For what can lead me to abandon God?)
Mbele nisiendelee, nigeuke nyuma nimwache? (To stop moving forward, to turn back and leave him?)
Ikiwa ni dhiki, magonjwa, vifungo havitaweza (Neither distress, nor sickness, nor sentencing will make me)
Aliye ndani yangu ni mkuu, ataniwezesha (For the One who lives within me will make me successful)
Hakuhesabu udhaifu wangu (He did not count my weaknesses)
Hakuchukulia tena kwa hasira (He was not angered by me)
Yeye alinibariki bado (He still blessed me)
Hakuwasikiza wal’o leta mashitaka yangu kwake (And did not listen to my accusers)
Kama Ayubu, alitetea bado (Like Job, he defended me)
Yeye Hakimu wa kweli (For He is a just judge)
Hapewi rushwa anajua haki zangu (He cannot be bribed, he knows my rights)
(Refrain)
Sifikirii kushindwa (I do not ponder my defeat)
Sina ndoto ya kuchoka (I do not dream of my exhaustion)
Ataniwezesha (For He will enable me)
Wapo wengi wenye chuki na kero (There are many with hatred and annoyance)
Waliponikera, yeye akapigana (When they troubled me, He fought for me)
Wapo wengi walinipa masaa (There are many that counted my days)
Kwenye wokovu leo wanashangaa (They are now surprised with my salvation)
Kweli kweli alisema, ataandaa meza yangu (Truly He said, He will prepare my table)
Mbele yao maadui, leo wanaboba (Before my enemies, now they are confused)
(Refrain)
Watasubiri wangojee (They will wait and wait)
Watangoja washangae (The will wait and be surprised)
Kwani yeye Bwana (For the Lord)
Atanipeleka juu (Will take me higher)

Nina haja na we (I need You)
Nimejua nimefanya mahesabu, nime elewa (I know, I have calculated, I have understood)
Bila wewe Bwana sijiwezi kabisa (That without Lord, I am not able)
Changamoto, panda shuka, miiba njiani
(The challenges, the ups and downs and the thorns on my way)
Bila wewe Bwana, siziwezi kabisa (Without You Lord, I am completely unable)
Ndoto zangu, ni wewe utazitimiza Bwana (Lord it is You who would fulfill my dreams)
Maono yangu, ni wewe nategemea Bwana (I depend on You Lord for my visions)
Bila wewe Bwana, nitaaibika kabisa (Without You Lord, I will be shamed)
Oh, Bila wewe, nitashindwa kabisa (Without you, I will fail)
Refrain:
Nina haja na wewe, bila wewe nimeshindwa (I need You, without You I am defeated)
Nimetambua nimejua, bila wewe sina thamani
(I know and acknowledge, that without You I have no value)
Thamani yangu ni wewe tu, msaada wangu ni wewe tu
(My value is in You, my Helper is You only)
Nishikilie, na mimi mwanao (Hold me, Your child) (Repeat)
Nina kiu na wewe Bwana wangu (I am thirsty for You ,my Lord)
Nina haja na wewe, usiku mchana (I need You, night and day)
Kwenye maji ni wewe, maji ya uzima Bwana
(In the waters, Lord You are the waters of Life)
Kwenye mti ni wewe, mti wa uzima, Yesu (You are the Tree of Life, Jesus)
Kwenye mawe ni wewe, jiwe la pembeni litegemewalo
(You are the dependable Rock of Ages)
Kwa wanyama wewe ni Simba wa Yuda (You are the Lion of Judah)
(Refrain)
Nina maswali mengi akilini sipati jibu (I have many unanswered questions)
Uoga mkubwa, moyo unapiga mwendo wa kasi (I am afraid, my heart races)
Ila niende wapi? Bila wewe siwezi (But where would I go without You?)
Ukiniacha, nitajivunia tena nani? (If you leave me, in whom would I boast?)
Wewe ndiwe kiburi yangu, wewe ndiye thamani yangu (You are my pride and worth)
Najaribu kukusanya kwa uwezo wangu wa kukidhi mahitaji
(I have tried to collect all that will satisfy my needs)
Nimetambua, vyote duniani havimalizi kiu yangu
(And have realized all wordly things will not satisfy my thirst)
Ni wewe tu Bwana, ninakuhitaji (Only you my Lord, I need You)
Repeat: Nakuhitaji (I need You)
Kwenye masomo (In my studies)
Kwenye biashara zote (In all business)
Kwenye familia na jamii (In my family and relatives)
Kwenye maono yangu (In my visions)
Siwezi bila wewe, nakuhitaji (I cannot without You, I need You)
Maishani mwangu (In my life)
Kwenye ndoto zangu (In my dreams)
Nakuhitaji Bwana (I need You Lord)
Maana wewe unaweza (For you are able)
