Unishike mkono (Hold my hand)
Unionyeshe njia zako (Reveal to me Your ways)

Na maji yaliyotulia (And beside still waters)
Mfariji wangu, ee Bwana (Oh Lord, My Comforter)
Chemichemi ya ukweli (The source of truth)

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Ni moja, ni moja jana, ni moja leo (It is the same, yesterday and today)
Ni moja asili yake ni Yesu Kristo  (The foundation is Jesus Christ)
Ibada moja, sheria moja, mapokeo yale yale  (Common worship, common norm and traditions)
Limeenea pande zote, ulimwengu mzima (Has spread throughout the world)

Refrain:
(Najivunia) Nimezaliwa kwenye moja ([I’m proud] Born to the one)
Kanisa takatifu sana  (The holy church)
Katoliki la mitume kweli (Catholic of the apostles/saints)
Nikabatizwa, mimi Mkatoliki (I have been baptized, I’m a Catholic) (Repeat)

Liliwachwa mikononi mwa halifa wake, Mtume Petro
(It was left to His steward, apostle Peter)
Alipokabidhiwa na Bwana Yesu alichunge Kanisa
(He was entrusted by Lord Jesus to shepherd the Church)
Mridhi wake ndiye Papa wetu, Baba Mtakatifu
(His successor is our father, the holy Pope)

(Refrain)

Sakramenti za kutuweka karibu kabisa na Mwenyezi
(The Sacraments that place us closer to the Almighty)
Ubatizo, ekaristi, kipaimara, upadre na ndoa
(Baptism, Eucharist, confirmation, priesthood and matrimony)
Na kitubio, mpako wa wagonjwa kujipatanisha na Baba
(Alongside confession and anointing of the sick to reconcile us with the Father)

(Refrain)

Repeat: Simama eh tumshangilie Mungu, kwa zawadi ya imani Katoliki (Stand let us praise God for the gift of the Catholic faith)
Mkatoliki simama (Stand, Catholic)
Tusimame tulinde imani yetu (Stand, let us defend our faith)
Sheria za kanisa ni nguzo yetu (The Church’s laws our foundation)
Amri kumi za Mungu msingi wetu (The ten commandments of God our foundation)
Amri ya upendo yamaliza yote (The commandment of Love completes it all)

Leave a comment


(Sung in Kiswahili – A Partial Hymn)

Pendo kuu la Yesu, lilitosha Kalvary (The Great Love of Jesus was enough at Calvary)
Msalaba wa dhambi, niliupenda Kalvary (The cross of sin, I loved at Calvary)
Alinipenda Yesu, akainingia gharama (Jesus loved me, that He took on my debt)
Msamaha wa dhambi, niliupata Kalvary (The forgiveness of sins, I received at Calvary)

Refrain:
Alilipa deni zangu (He paid my debts)
Kwa gharama ya mauti (Through the cost of His death)
Msamaha wa dhambi (The forgiveness of sin)
Niliupata Kalvary (I received at Calvary) (Repeat)

Yesu atujua, mchunga wetu (The Shepherd Jesus knows us)
Naye atufuta, machozi yetu (He will wipe away our tears)
Mkononi mwake, hatuna hofu (We have no fear in His hands)
Daima twapata, kwake wokovu (Forever we receive salvation in Him)

(Refrain)

Yote namtolea Yesu, nampa moyo wote (I give Jesus my all and my heart)
Nitampenda Yesu, namwandama kila saa (I shall love Jesus and follow Him forever)
Chini ya msalaba, nataka simama (I want to stand under the cross)
Ndiye mwamba safarini, kwa kivuli jema (He is the rock and shelter in the journey)

(Refrain)

— Part of “Nataka Nimjue Yesu (More about Jesus)” Hymn
Nataka nifahamu (More about Jesus, in His Word)
Na nizidi kupambanua (Holding communion with my Lord)
Mapenzi yake nifanye (Hearing His voice in every line)
Yale yanayompendeza (Making each faithful saying mine)
Nataka nikae naye (More about Jesus on His throne)
Kwa mazungumzo zaidi (Riches in glory all His own)
Nizidi kuwaonyesha (More of His kingdom’s sure increase)
Wengine wokovu wake (More of His coming, Prince of Peace)

(Refrain)

Msamaha wa dhambi (The forgiveness of sin)
Niliupata Kalvary (I received at Calvary) (Repeat)

Mungu wangu nimekuja kushitaki yule adui yangu x2

Kwamba ndoa yangu mimi itavunjika (That my marriage will break apart)

Nimekuja Baba, kuleta pingamizi (Father, I have come to bring an objection)
Nimekuja Baba, kuleta appeal yangu (Father, I have come to file my appeal)
Nimekuja Baba, kuvunja ule waraka (Father I have come to nullify that document)

Aliyonipangia mie yarudi kwake mwenyewe (Repeat)

Kutoinuliwa (Not being promoted)
Kufutwa kazi (Losing my job)
Kuishi masikini mimi (For me to live in poverty)

Mshindi (Victorious) Lyrics by Kwaya ya Mt. Kizito (KMK) Makuburi

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Mateso gani unayoyapitia (What suffering are you going through)
Unadhani Mungu amekuwacha, ndugu? (Do you think God has abandoned you, brother/sister?)
Ugumu wa maisha unayopitia leo (The hardships of life that you are going through today)
Ujuwe wewe si wa kwanza (Know that you are not the first)

Mtazame Yesu aliyebeba msalaba mzito kweli kweli (Look at Jesus who carried a truly heavy cross)
Ni mateso mangapi alipitia na mwisho akawawa juu yake (How much suffering He went through and in the end He was killed upon it)
Lakini ona amefufuka, na wewe umefufuka naye (But look He has risen and you have risen with Him)
Mateso yote yalishazikwa (All the suffering has already been buried)
Hata wewe ndugu umeshinda (You too brother/sister have overcome)

Refrain:
Kwa sababu ni mshindi, Yesu ni mshindi (Because He is victorious, Jesus is victorious)
Ni mshindi ameshinda mauti (He is victorious, conquering death)
Mzima! Mzima! Mzima! (He lives! He lives! He lives!)
Amefufuka Yesu yuhai ni mshindi (Jesus has risen, He’s alive, He’s victorious)
Nawe ndugu (And you too, beloved)
U mshindi, wewe u mshindi, hata wewe (You are also a victor)
Kwa kuwa umefufuka na Yesu (For you have risen with Jesus)
Mshindi! Mshindi! Mshindi! (Victorious! Victorious! Victorious!)
Kakukomboa Yesu, amini u mshindi (Jesus redeemed you, believe that you are also victorious)

Mara ngapi ulianguka chini (How many times have you fallen down)
Na ukabaki huko hukuinuka ndugu? (And remained there beloved?)
Kaza moyo uamke tena (Take courage and rise again)
Kwani bado nafasi yako ipo leo (For your opportunity is still present)
Mtazame Yesu aliyebeba msalaba mzito kweli kweli (Look at Jesus who carried a heavy cross)
Mara ngapi alianguka lakini hakubaki chini alijiinua (How many times He fell, but He got back up)
Lakini ona amefufuka, na wewe umefufuka naye (But look, He’s risen, and you’ve risen with Him)
Anguko lako limeshazikwa (Your fall has already been buried)
Na wewe utasimama tena (And you will stand again)

(Refrain)

Alhamisi jioni akawaosha miguu wanafunzi wake kwenye karamu
(On Thursday evening He washed His disciples’ feet at the feast)
Anatufundisha unyenyekevu, upendo na kujitoa kwao wenzetu
(He teaches us humility, love, and self-sacrifice)
Mara ngapi wewe umejitoa sadaka kwa ajili ya wengine?
(How many times have you sacrificed yourself for the sake of others?)
Mtazame Yesu, alijitoa afe ili sisi tukombolewe (Look to Jesus, He gave His life that we may be redeemed)
Lakini ona amefufuka, nawe umefufuka naye (But look, He’s risen, and you have risen with Him)
Majitoleo na jasho lako (Your sacrifices and your sweat)
Haviendi bure, ni ushindi (Are not in vain, they are victory)

(Refrain)
