Leave a comment


(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Repeat: Sitarudi kuwa vile (I shall not revert to how I was)

Kwa uwezo wake roho (With the Holy Spirit’s might)
Mimi nakataa kudharauliwa (I refuse to be despised)
Nakataa maisha ya chini x2 (I refuse poverty)
Kwani Baba amenikumbuka (Because Father has remembered me)
Baba amenikumbuka (Father has remembered me)
Mimi ni mbarikiwa x3 (I am blessed)

Huu ni mwaka wa Bwana (This is the year of the Lord)
Amenitendea mengi (He has done many things for me)
Na hisi moyoni mwangu (I feel in my heart)
Bwana amenikumbuka (That the Lord has remembered me)
Mwaka jana niliteseka (Last year I suffered)
Sitarudi pale tena (I shall not return there again)
(Repeat)

(Refrain)

Ewe baba/ndugu umeteseka (You dad/brother you’ve suffered)
Huu ni mwaka wa Bwana (This is the year of the Lord)
Baba amekukumbuka (Father has remembered you)
Hakuna mateso tena (No more suffering)
Ya kale yamepita (The old has passed away)
Usirudi kule tena (Do not return there again)
(Repeat)

Refrain 2:
Hautarudi Kuwa vile (You will not return to the way you were)

Baba mekukumbuka (Father has remembered you)
Kwani wewe ni mbarikiwa (Because you are blessed)

Uliachwa bila makao (You have been left with no shelter)
Mama yangu usilie (Mother do not cry)
Jehova Shalom ametenda (The Lord of peace has done great things)
Amerejesha amani (He has returned peace)
Hautarudi pale tena (You shall not return there again)
Baba amekukumbuka (Father has remembered you)
(repeat)

(Refrain 2)

Mshukuruni Mungu wa miungu (Thank the God of gods)
Mshukuruni Bwana wa mabwana (Thank the Lord of lords)
Amefanya maajabu (He has done great things)
Yeye alifanya mbingu na nchi (He created the heavens and the earth)
Sema Kabisa (Say it loud)

(Chorus)

Amefanya mianga mikubwa (He created great lights)
Jua litawale mchana (The sun to rule by day)
Mwezi na nyota usiku (The moon and stars by night)
Akatandaza nchi juu ya maji (He laid the earth over waters)
Imba kabisa (Sing out loud)

Aliyeigawa Bahari ya Shamu (He who divided the Red Sea)
Akavusha Waisiraeli (And ferried the Israelites)
Aliyemshinda Farao (He who defeated Pharaoh)
Na majeshi yake yote (And all His armies)
Sema kabisa (Say it aloud)

Yeye aliyetukumbuka (He who remembered us)
Katika unyonge wetu (In our weakness)
Atuokoaye na watesi (He who saves us from adversaries)
Mungu kweli ni wa ajabu (God truly is awesome)

(Sung in Swahili)

Oh nimetafuta kila corner (Oh I have searched everywhere)
Sijampata mmoja, ambaye anitosheleza (I have not found one that satisfies me)
Oh mimi nimeonja, sasa nimeona (Oh I have tasted, and now I see)
Ya kwamba wewe u mwema (That You [God] are good)

Chorus:
Nilikolia, machozi kayapanguza (When I cried, you wiped my tears)
Nilipocheka sababu ni furaha yako (When I laughed, it is because of your joy)
Nilipokwita Baba kanisikia (When I called you Lord, you heard me)
Na sa nimetambua (And now I kno)

Wanitosheza, wanonyesha njia (You satisfy me, you show me the way)
Huniachi nianguke Baba (You don’t let me fall Father)
Wanipenda sana, wanijali pia (You love me, and you care for me)
Nasema nakushukuru (I say that I’m grateful)

Oh upendo wako ni wa kweli (Oh your love is true)
Upendo usio na kamba zilizofungwa hapa na pale (A love that is unconditional)
Oh kanifia msalabani nilipokuwa kwa dhambi (Oh, you died on the cross for me – a sinner)
Na sasa niko huru (And now I’m free)

(Chorus)

I have tasted and now I see
There’s Lord you are so good to me

Bridge:
Wanitosheleza, wewe ndiye mwanga wangu (You satisfy me; you are my light)
Wanonyesha njia, mwaminifu tena sana (You show me the way; you are faithful)
Wanitosheleza, Nitakusifu wewe mile (You satisfy me, I will worship you forever)
Wanonyesha njia, Mpenzi wa roho yangu (You show me the way – the lover of my soul)

(Chorus)
