Kenya, Swahili Gospel Lyrics Nimevipiga vita vizuri, Reuben Kigame, Sifa Voices, Vita Vizuri 4 Comments
(Sung in Swahili)
Chorus:
Nimevipiga vita vizuri, (I have fought the good fight)
Mwendo wangu nimeumaliza (I have completed my race)
Nayo imani nimeilinda (I have kept the faith)
Natarajia kupewa taji na Bwana (I expect to be crowned by the Lord)
Nikitazama nyuma sijuti haka (I do not regret my past, no)
Nimejifunza kusahau yaliyopita (I have resolved to forget my past)
Sasa najisukuma kwa yaliyo mbele (Now I focus on what is ahead)
Nikimfuata Yesu mwokozi wangu (As I follow Jesus my savior)
(Chorus)
Japo imani yangu imetikiswa (Though my faith is shaken)
Mimi nimeshikiliwa na Yesu wangu (My Jesus holds me safe)
Hata wakiniacha rafiki zangu (Though my friends abandon me)
Siri mimi niko na Imanueli (My secret: I abide with Emmanuel)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Nifuateni, nifuatatavyo Yesu (Follow me, as I follow Jesus)
Yeye ni mwanzo na mwisho wa imani yetu (He’s the author and finisher of our faith)
Msishawishike na ulimwengu upitao (Don’t be temped by the fleeting world)
Tuvipige vita vizuri (Let us fight the good fight)
(Chorus)

Kenya, Swahili Gospel Lyrics Reuben Kigame, Sifa Voices, Sina Mungu mwingine, Sina Mungu Mwingine Lyrics, Sina Mungu mwingine wa kutegemea 7 Comments
(Sung in Swahili)
Pre-Song:
Oh Baba, mimi sina Mungu mwingine nimfahamuye (Oh Father, I don’t know any other God) Ni wewe pekee ujazaye Roho yangu (You alone fill my spirit)
Verse 1:
Sina Mungu mwingine, wa kutegemea (I don’t have any other God to depend on)
Mbinguni na duniani, hapana mwingine (Heaven and earth, there is no other)
Sina cha kupendeza, wala cha faida (I have nothing pleasing, or profitable)
Ila wewe Bwana wangu, Mungu wa milele (Only you my Lord, Everlasting God)
Verse 2:
Mwili na moyo wangu, vyaweza zimia (My body and heart may fail)
Bali Mungu ndiye mungu wa uhai wangu (But God is the God of my life)
Yeye sehemu yangu, milele daima (He is my portion forever)
Nitaingia hema yake, na sifa zake kuu (I shall enter his tent with praise)
Chorus:
Ni nani mwingine, ajazaye roho yangu (Who else fills my spirit)
Na kunipa raha kamili (And gives me full joy)
Ni nani semeni, akomboaye mwanadamu (Tell me who else saves man)
Na kumshindia shetani (and defeats the devil on his behalf?)
(Verse 1) + (Chorus)

(Sung in Swahili)
Nini kitanitenganisha (na upendo wa Mungu Baba)
(What can separate me, from the Love of God the Father)
Ikiwa ni dhiki au njaa (Havitananitenga naye Baba)
(Neither hardship nor famine, shall separate me from the Father )
Mauti, upanga, na dhihaka (Havitananitenga naye Baba)
(Death, war and danger, will not separate me from the Father)

Tena zaidi ya kushinda (Even more than win)
Kwake yeye aliyenipenda (In Him who loved me)
(Repeat)
Kwenye zamu yangu nitasimama (When my turn comes I shall stand)
Kwa miguu yangu nitasimama (On my feet I shall stand)
Nione Bwana atakavyonijibu mimi (To see what the Lord shall say to me)
Kwa habari ya kulalamika kwangu (Regarding my persecutions)
Bwana aliniambia neno hili (As the Lord had promised me)
“Usiogope maneno yao (“Do not fear their words,)
Usitetemeke mbele yao, (Do not tremble before them)
usifadhaike mbele yao (Do not despair before them )
Maana imeandikwa, kwa ajili yako ninauawa (As it is written, I was killed for your sake)
kama kondoo wa kuchinjwa, kifo nimehesabiwa (Like a lamb to slaughter, in your death you were counted)
Kifo nimehesabiwa, mimi sibabaiki (In my death I have been counted, I am not worried)
Bridge:
Shetani usinisumbue (Shetani usinisumbue) (Satan, do not bother me)
Wala usinibababishe (Wala usinibababishe) (Do not worry me)
Funga kinywa ukatoweke (Funga kinywa ukatoweke) (Be quiet and begone)
Nyamaza kimya ukapotee (Kwa jina la Yesu ukatoweke) (Be silent and be gone in the name of Jesus)
Nyamaza kimya ukapotee (Nyamaza kimya ukapotee) (Be quiet and begone)
(Chorus)
Milele neno la Mungu limehakikishwa (Forever the word of God has been established)
Tena ni ngome kwa wamwaminio (It is a fortresses to the believers)
Tena ni ngao kwa wamwitao Baba (Also a shield for those who call him Father)
Kabla ijawa misingi ya dunia, (Before the foundation of the world)
Yeye huyu alikuweko (He was here)
(?), muumba wa utukufu ([?], Creator of glory)
Na utakaso wa dhambi, (?) (And the cleansor of sin, (?))
Nami kwake ni wa mwana x2, ni wa mwana (I belong to the son)

dunia ishangilie (Let the world rejoice)
Visiwa(?) vitoe nyimbo, (All islands give praise)
Asifiwe Mungu wa mapendo (God of love be praised)
Mungua chukua heshima yako (Gpd receive your honor)

Kenya, Swahili Gospel Lyrics man ingwe, Mwambie, Mwambie Lyrics 1 Comment
(Sung in Swahili)
Hii ni ngoma ya wadhii wanafeel (This song is for those who feel)
kama Mungu amewasahau amechelewa sana (That God has forgotten them – He’s too late)
Round this ninataka tuombe pamoja tumkumbushe Mungu (This time I want us to pray together to remind God)
Atukumbuke na ikiwezekana akuje mwenyewe asitume malaika (To remember us and to come down instead of the Angels)
Mwambie Cherie, dada ya Jerry (Tell Cherie, Jerry’s sister)
Jirani wa Njeri, kutoka Jeri (Njeri’s sister from Jeri [Jericho])
Nilimwona Cherie bila renti, (I saw Cherie without rent)
akikopa senti kulipa madeni  (Borrowing money to pay debts)
Alikuwa na magonjwa, watoto wamefukuzwa (She was ill her children not at school)
Shuleni hakujalipwa, kazini amefutwa (School fees were unpaid, she’d lost her job)
Ukimwona mwambie, asilie (If you see her, tell her not to cry)
Atulie namshughulikia (To rest in me, I’m taking care of it)
Chorus:
Mwambie, mwambie, asilie sana (Tell her, tell her, not to cry)
Machozi yake nitayapangusa (I shall wipe away her tears)
Mwambie, mwambie, nampenda sana (Tell her, tell her, that I love her)
MAombi yake, nashughulikia (I am taking care of her prayers)
Mwambie Johnny, ndugu ya Bonny (Tell Johnny, Bonny’s brother)
Jirani wa tony, kutoka Doni (Tony’s neighbor from Doni [Donholm])
Nilimwona Johnny akilia woi (I saw Johny crying Woi)
Akisema story ilikuwa sorry (He had a sorry story)
Alikuwa amechakaa, bila pa kukaa  (He was unkempt with no place to stay)
Bila cha kuvaa, kajificha kwenye Bar (With nothing to wear, he hid in Bars)
Ukimwoma mwambie, asilie (If you see him tell him)
Atulie namshughulikia (To rest in me, I’m taking care of it )
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Ewe ndugu ukilia naye Mungu analia (My brother, God cries when you cry)
Ukiumia, anaumia (He hurts when you hurt)
Ukifurahia, naye anafuraia (Joyful when you are joyful)
Atakubariki, mwambie mwenzio (He will bless you, tell others that)
(Chorus)
Ndugu/Dada/Mama/Baba usilie (Brother/sister/mother/father don’t cry)
Mungu mwaminifu  (God is faithful)
Atajibu maombi yako, pokea  (He will answer your prayer – receive it.)
