Rain Kenya, Swahili Gospel Lyrics , 13 Comments


(Sung in Swahili)

Ingelikuwa Mungu anauliza mwanadamu (If God were to ask a man)
Jinsi ya kumtendea mwanadamu (How to do to a fellow man)
Basi mimi nisingekuwa jinsi nilivyo (Then I would not be how I am)
Hata tena nisingekuwa mahali nilipo (And I would not be where I am)
Ungeambiwa sifai, wangekukanya vikali
(You would’ve been told I’m not good, They would’ve reproved You)
Ungekumbushwa dhambi zangu za kale
(You would have been reminded of my past sins)
Unabariki unayependa, unabariki unavyopenda
(You bless those you favor, You bless as you prefer)

Refrain:
Nahitaji ndio yako yesu tu (I need your yes only Jesus)
Nahitaji ndio yako yesu tu (I need your yes only Jesus)
Ninataka ndio yako Yesu tu (I want your yes only Jesus)
Ndio yako itanisimamisha (Your Yes will establish me)
Ndiyo yako ndiyo itanifungulia milango (Your yes will open doors for me)

Hakuna sikio lenye funiko jamani (There is covered ear)
Wala sijaona jicho lenye pazia (And I have not seen a curtained eye)
Adui zako wangelikuwa na uwezo, (If your enemies had the ability)
Wangefumba macho, wangefunika masikio
(They would’ve shut their eyes, and covered their ears)
Wasikuone ukiwa juu, wasisikie umebarikiwa
(That they will not see you lifted, or hear your blessings)
Meza utaandaliwa mbele yao
(A table for you will be prepared before them)
Utakula, utakunywa mbele yao (You will eat and drink before them)
Nasema ndio, ndio ya Bwana (I say yes, The Lord’s “yes”)

(Refrain)

Bridge:
Yesu usiposema ndio, mali yangu, akili zangu hazitaweza
(Jesus If you don’t say yes; my possessions, my mind will not be able)
Bwana sema, sema ndio, yatosha (Lord say, say yes, it is enough)

(Refrain)

Rain Kenya, Swahili Gospel Lyrics 6 Comments


(Sung in Swahili)

Wako mwana ukamtuma, duniani  (You sent your child to earth)
Kisa na maana nipate uzima jamani (That I should receive salvation)

Ishara kwamba unanipenda zaidi (A sign that you love me more)
Hivyo nishaelewa sifa nitakupa zaidi (I know to give you more praise)

Refrain:
Na siwezi jizuia, kusema wako wema
(And I shall not stop myself from proclaiming your goodness)
Na sio kama najigamba, umenitenda mema
(It is not that I boast for myself, you have been good to me)
(Repeat)
Umekuwa mwema kwangu (You have been good to me)

Umenitoa gizani, nilipokuwa nimeshikwa mateka
(You removed me from darkness, where I was held prisoner)
Ukanipa tumaini, kwako nikajificha
(You gave me hope, And I hid myself in You)
Sasa nitakupa nini, iwe sawa na yale umenitenda?
(What shall I give You, equal to what you have done for me?)
Hakuna ila moyoni, sifa nitakuimbia
(Nothing. Only in my heart, I will sing Your praises)

Ilikugharimu, msalabani unifie
(It cost You to die on the cross for me)
Hivyo inanibidi, sifa nikuimbie
(Therefore I have to sing your praises)
Wema wako niseme, ili na wengine wakujue
(To tell of Your goodness, that others may know You)
Wote waungane nami, na wazee ishirini na nne
(That all may join me, together with the twenty-four elders)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)*

Kama ni mapenzi nilishatafuta sana (I looked for love high and low)
Kama ni kutoswa nilishatosa kwa bana (I was rejected in many places)
Kama ni mapenzi nilishatafuta sana (I looked for love high and low)
Umkhwano wanje, songa wachinimba (?)

Refrain:
Ungekuwa nyimbo ningekucheza sana
(If you were a song I would play on repeat)
Ungekuwa zeze ningekucheza bana
(If you were a flute I would play very much)
Ungekuwa nyimbo ningekucheza sana
(If you were a flute I would play very much)
Bana sana (A lot)
You are my Lover yeah, lover yeah, yeah, yeah
L.O.V.E
Umekuwa Baba kwangu (You have been my Father) (L.O.V.E)
Roho mtakatifu (Holy Spirit) (L.O.V.E)

(Refrain)

Na utanashati ukanipa kimwana (You gave me elegance as your son)
Nayo mashairi ndani yangu kajaza (And filled my heart with poetry)
(Repeat)

Bridge:
Hii yote pokea sifa moyoni umefanya (In all this receive praise)
Maulana si kawaida Kenya wakanidata (My Lord it’s not common for Kenya to accept(?) me)
Hii yote pokea sifa moyoni umefanya (In all this, receive all the praise)
Najua Afrika mtoto mama atasikika (I know I will be heard across Africa)

(Refrain)
