African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Swahili)

Pre-Song
Halleluya, Ndugu yangu Biblia inasema (Haleluja, My brother the Bible says )
waabudio wa halisi watamwabudu Bwana (Those who worship the Lord)
katika roho na kwa kweli ( will do so in spirit and in truth)
Na ni wakati huu – ukiwa ndani ya gari lako, (At this moment – if you are in your car)
ukiwa ndani ya basi unasafiri, (In a bus travelling)
ukiwa unafanya kazi ndani ya ofisi yako ( or in your office working )
Jiunge pamoja nami tumwinue Bwana (Join me to lift the Lord )
tumwambie unastahili uko mwenye nguvu ( and tell him He deserves it he is mighty)
Ukiwa uliamka asubuhi (If you woke up this morning)
na haukumwambia kitu Mungu, ( and you didn’t tell God anything )
ni wakati wa kumwambia Bwana: (This is the time to tell Him )
Utukuzwe, uinuliwe ( “You are praiseworthy, be lifted up”)
Tujiunge pamoja kwa wakati huu (Join me now in telling God)
tumwambie Bwana “Wastahili” ( “You deserve [all the honor]”)
Ikiwa uko katika maombi ya kufunga na kuomba, (If you are fasting and praying)
hebu tujiunge pamoja, Twende Haleluya ( join me Let’s go Halelujah)
