Leave a comment



(Sung in Swahili)

Huu, ni mwaka wa urejesho (This is the year of restoration) x2
Mambo, mambo yabadilika (Things are being made new) x2
(Repeat)

Chorus:
Naona mambo yakibadilika (I see things transforming)
(Yabidilika kwa wema wako) (They transform because of your goodnes)
(Repeat)

Mambo, mambo yabadilika  (Things are changing) x2
Walio chini sasa, naona wakiinuliwa (I see the downtrodden lifted up)
Walio nyuma sasa, naona wakiwa mbele (I see the last becoming first)
Wanaodharauliwa, naona heshima zao (I see honor for the despised)
Wanaolia sasa, machozi yanapanguzwa (The tears wiped for the grieving)

Huu ni mwaka wa urejesho (This is the year of restoration) x2
Uliyepoteza ndoa, naona ikirejeshwa (Your marriage was broken, I see restoration)
Uliyepoteza watoto, naona wakirejeshwa (You lost your children, I see their return)
Uliyepoteza nyumba, naona ikirejeshwa (You lost your house, I see it’s restoration)
Uliyepoteza kazi, naona ikirejeshwa (You lost your job, I see it returned)
Uliyepoteza cheo, naona kikirejeshwa (You lost your position, I see it restored)
Uliyepoteza heshima, naona ikirejea (You lost your honor, I see it restored)
Kwani mambo yabadilika (Because things are being remade)

(Chorus)

Majina yaenda kubadilika (Names will be transformed) x2
Wanaoitwa tasa, naona wakiitwa mama (The one called barren, I see you called mother)
Wanaodharauliwa, naona heshima zao (The one despised, I see you honored)
Wanaoitwa duni, sasa wainuliwa (The one called nothing, I see you lifted)
Walio pekee yao, waenda pata wachumba (The one alone, I see you partnered)
Kwani mambo, mambo yabadilika  (As things are being made new) x2

Wanaolia sasa, machozi wanapanguza (The grieving are wiping their tears)
Waliokataliwa, sasa wakubalika (The rejected are being accepted)
Wasio na makao, wapata makao yao (The homeless are getting homes)
Wasio na amani, wapata amani yao (Those without peace are getting it back)
Wasio na furaha, wapata furaha yao (The joyless are getting their joy back)
Kwani mambo, mambo yabadilika (Because things are being made new) x2

(Chorus)

Jipe jina, tutakuita unapojiita sasa  (Name yourself and we shall call you that)
Pokea jina jipya, maana majina yabadilika (Receive a new name, as you are being made new.)

Refrain: Naitwa mbarikiwa (Call me blessed)
Tukuite nani nani leo (What shall we call you today?)
Jipe jina, jipe jine (Name yourself)
Na wewe waitwa nani leo (And you, what are you called?)
Baba yangu tukuite nani (My father/Brother, what shall we call you?)
Jipe jina, jipe jine (Name yourself)

(Chorus)

(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)

Kwa ajili yako mimi naishi (Because of you I’m alive)
Pasipo wewe singekuwepo (Without you I would not be here)
Mimi ni kazi ya mikono yako (I am the work of your hands)

Baba ninaona nikuabudu (Father I prefer to worship you)
Maana matendo yako ni mengi sana (Because your works are many)
Ishara zako Baba ni nyingi mno (Your signs are many)
Maana wewe ndiye Mungu wangu (Because you are my God)
Uliniumba niseme matendo yako (You created me to tell of your actions)
Wewe ndiwe Mungu wa miungu (You are the God of gods)
Wewe kimbilio letu na ngome yet (You are our fortress and help)
Hakuna aliye kama wewe (There is no one like you)

Maneno ya kusema yananikosa ( I am lost for words)
Maana matendo yako ni ya ajabu (Because your works are wondergul)
Maana ishara zako ni nyingi  (Because your signs are many)
Kwa macho nimeona makuu yako (With my eyes I have seen your  greatbess)
Masikio nimesikia matendo yako (My ears have heard your works)
Ndio maana nimetambua (That is why I know)
Ya kwamba niliumbwa nikuabudu (That I was created to worship you)
Mungu wa milele (Everlasting God)

(Chorus)

Tuombeane (Pray for Each Other) Lyrics by Ambassadors for Christ Choir

(Sung in Swahili)

Je, umekumbuka kumuombea (Have you remembered to pray)
yule umpendaye? (for a loved one?)
Jamani twazingirwa na maovu mengi (We are surrounded by much evil)
Kwa hiyo inatupasa, kuombeana sana (So we need to pray for each other)

Mtoto wako, atoka asubuhi sana (Your child leaves early in the morning)
Kwenda shule, sokoni na kadhalika (To go to school, to the market and so on)
Apitapo kumejaa mabaya mengi sana (Wherever he passes lives much evil)
Mama, mwombee mtoto wako (Mother, pray for your child)

Refrain:Mwombee mtoto wako (Pray for your child)
Apitapo ajali ni mingi (Where he passes have been many accidents)
Mbwa wakali wamzingira (A lot of dangerous dogs surround him)
Siku hizi vibaka ni wengi (These days the rapists are many)
Oh, mwombee mtoto wako (Oh, pray for your child)

Ewe mama, watenganishwa (Mother you’ve been separated)
Na mume wako kaenda safari ya mbali kikakazi (Your husband has traveled for work)
Je, umemwombea Kule aliko mbali nawe? (Have you prayed for him wherever he is?)
We kumbuka amezingirwa na maovu mengi (Remember he is surrounded by much evil)

Refrain:Mwombee mume wako (Pray for your husband)
Kule nasikia kuna wachawi (I hear there are witchdoctors there)
Na wenzake kumwonea wivu (When others are jealous of him)
Keelewana na mabosi zake (For understanding with his bosses)
Afya njema asiugue (To enjoy a healthy life)

Ewe Baba watenganishwa (Father you have been separated)
Na mke wako kaenda safari ya mbali shuleni (Your wife has traveled for school)
Je, umemwombea kule aliko mbali nawe (Have you prayed for her wherever she is?)
We kumbuka amezingirwa na maovu mengi (Remember she is surrounded by much evil)

Refrain: Mwombee mke wako (Pray for your wife)
Kamwombee sana mke wako (Pray very much for your wife)
Aweze kufaulu shuleni (To be successful in school)
Majaribu mengi yampata (A lot of temptations follow her)
Uvumilivu kwa kila jambo (Perseverance in everything)

Oh, mwombee mtoto wako (Oh, pray for your child)
Oh, mwombee mume wako (Oh, pray for your husband)
Oh, mwombee mke wako (Oh, pray for your wife)

(Sung in Swahili)

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Refrain:
Hakuna wa kufana naye (There is no one like Him)

Hakuna wa kufanana na Yesu (There’s no one like Jesus)
Hakuna wa kulinganishwa nawe (No-one to be compared to you)
Hakuna mwingine kama wewe Bwana (No one like you Lord)
Hakuna duniani kote Baba (No one in all the world Father)

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Uinuliwe, uinuliwe, uinuliwe (Be lifted high)
Alinifia msalabani (He died on the cross on my behalf)
Akazibeba dhambi zangu zote (And carried all my sins)
Akachukua masikitiko yangu (He took all my troubles)
Magonjwa yangu yote akajitwika (He carried all my sickness)

Pokea sifa (Receive all praise)
Uinuliwe (Be lifted high)

Hakuna wa kufanana na Bwana/Nissi (There’s no one like the Lord/Nissi)
Ukiinua unainua kabisa (When you lift, you lift high Jesus)
Juu mbinguni hakuna kama wewe (Up in heaven, there’s no one like you)

Pokea sifa (Receive all praise)
Milele hakuna kama wewe (Forever and ever, there’s no one like you)
Juu mbinguni hakuna kama wewe (In heaven there’s no one like you)
Maishani mwangu, hakuna kama wewe (In my life, there’s no one like you)
Oh, hakuna kama wewe (Oh, there’s no one like you)

Wewe watosha (You are enough)
Upewe sifa (Be given praise)
