(Sung in Swahili)

Hainidhuru kama nasafiri kwenye bahari (I’m not harmed though I sail)
Ya mawimbi kwani Yesu ni nahodha wangu (On stormy seas, for Jesus is my captain)
Atanifikisha bandarini (He will guide me safely to the harbor)
Japo misukosuko yaniandama (Though troubles follow me)
Hainidhuru kwani nahodha yuko kwenye chombo (They do not harm me, for the pilot is in the ship)
Sikatai, kodi ya nyumba nimekosa (I do not deny that I do not have any money for rent)
Na watoto, ada shuleni walifukuzwa (The children were sent from school for lack of fees)
Na maadui wakiongezeka wakinijia (Though my enemies increase in number)
Bado hainidhuru, nitakuwa salama (I am not harmed, I shall be safe)

Najua niko doro mfuko wangu zero, hainidhuru bado (I know I no purpose and money; but I am not harmed)
Bado nazichangachanga pesa, mambo yatakuwa sawa (I am still struggling to raise money, it shall be well)
Usiku ukiwa mrefu, asubuhi yaja (Though the night is long, dawn arrives)
Shida hazikwamishi safari yangu (Troubles do not hinder my way)
Ushindi wangu uko mbele yangu, naamini (I believe that my victory is ahead of me)

Refrain:
Repeat: Bado, bado hainidhuru (Yet I will not be harmed)
Japo shida nyingi zinanikumba (Though I encounter many troubles)
Matatizo mengi natahadhika (Many problems follow me)
Nahodha wangu Yesu, yuko kwenye chombo (My pilot Jesus, is on duty)
Ananiongoza, atanifikisha (He leads me, he will get me there)

Ingawa ni jioni, lazima nifike kule (Though it is night, I shall arrive there)
Yesu mtuliza barahi atanifikisha kule (Jesus the calmer of seas will get me there)
Baraka zangu lazima nishike nimiliki mie (I must claim my blessings)
Sivurugwi, nasema sitishwi (I am not troubled, I am not disturbed)
Kwa mateso sivurugwi, kwa kelele bado sitishwi (I am not disturbed by troubles and shouts)

Kwa giza ije mishale, ije mateso yaje, potelea mbali (Though arrows and troubles come by night)
Magonjwa nayo kusongwa sana havitabadilisha, ukweli wa mambo (Though sickness and troubles come, they’ll change nothing)
Sivurugwi, na tena sitishwi (I am neither troubled nor distrurbed)
Kwa mateso sivurugwi, kwa kelele tena sitishwi ( am not disturbed by troubles and shouts)

Namwamini namwamini, Mungu wa ajabu (For I believe the Awesome God)
Ananipeleka, ananipeleka, Eh Kanani (The one who will guide me unto Caanan) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)

Yesu, Rafiki mwema (Jesus is a good Friend) x4

Hapana rafiki aliye mwema kama Yesu (There is no friend like Jesus) x4

Yesu ni Rafiki wa kweli (Jesus is the true friend)
Tena ni mwaminifu, Bwana (He is also faithful)
Ni wa haki, siku zote (He is always righteous) (Repeat)

Yeye anatupenda, anatujali (He loves and cares for us)
Anatuponya, ni mwaminifu (He heals us, He is faithful)
Mtoshelezi, huyu Yesu (He is sufficient, this Jesus) (Repeat)

Nimetambua kuwa, sina rafiki mwingine kama yesu (I have found that I have no other friend than Jesus)
Na hata angekuwapo, hangefikilia uaminifu wako (And if there was, they would not reach Your faithfulness)
Umenichagua, mimi nisiyestahili (You have chosen me, although I am not worthy)
Umeniheshimisha, umeniketisha na wakuu waone (You have honored me, sat me before the elders)

Kwako napata vyote, amani tele, furaha ya milele (In You I am sufficient with peace and everlasting joy)
Hakuna Rafiki kama Yesu (There is no friend like Jesus) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Eh Yesu, nina ku-kupenda (Oh Jesus, I love You)
Eh Yesu umtoshelevu (Oh Jesus, You are sufficient) (Repeat)

Sijaona rafiki kama Yesu, maishani mwangu mimi (I have never seen a friend like Jesus in my life)
Yeye ni mpezi wa kweli, yeye ni rafiki wa kweli (He is a true lover, a true friend)
Ananipenda bila gharama, ananijali bila gharama (He loves and cares for me without cost)
Ananikumbatia, ananifariji, naimba (He embraces me, comforts me, and now I sing)

Yeye ni rafiki wa kweli (He is a true friend)
Yeye ni Bbaba wa wababa (He is the father of fathers)
Yeye ni Mume wa wajane (He is the husband to the widows)
Yeye Bwana anaweza (He is the Lord, He is able)
Anaokoa, anafariji, anaponya (He saves, he comforts, he saves)

(Refrain)

Nakushukuru Mungu sababu ya upendo wako (I thank you God for Your Love)
Ulinipenda sana niko bado adui yako (You loved me even when I was Your enemy)
Tena nilikuwa bado la sishiki neno lako (I was not even versed in Your word)
Ila ukanipenda ukautoa uhai wako (But You loved me so much that you sacrificed Your life)
Adhabu ya mauti yangu ilikuwa juu yako (The cost of my death was placed on You)
Nikakupa mateso mengi na masumbuko (I caused you suffering and problems)
Mtu wa huzuni nyingi ulijuwae sikitiko (Man of sorrows that knows no regrets
Yote kisha maana mi n’fanyike mwana wako (All of this that I may be made Your child)

Yes, umenipa neema, umenipa uzima (Yes, You have granted me grace and everlasting life)
Umenitenda wema sina hata la kusema (You have done well for me, I cannot even say it)
Na wapi wadhibu? Watabibu wa karibu? (And what about the sacrifice? The close physician?)
Hujawahi niacha kwenye shida wala taabu (You have never left me in trouble)
Nitoke kwako niende wapi, maana kwako sijakopa (Where do I go if I leave You? For I have did not borrow from You)
Maana mi nimegunduwa we nd’o rafiki wa karibu (For I have discovered that You are the close friend)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)

Mungu asiyeona kushindwa (Unconquerable God)
Kwenye tatizo/shida lako (Even in your troubles)
Ili utukufu wake, abaki kuwa Mungu (So that His Glory, he remains being God) (Repeat)

Na kusema siwezi, siwezi tena kusonga (When you say, “I cannot even move”)
Ndi’ kuwa Mungu anashuka kukushika mkono wako (That is when God descends to hold your hand)
Na kusema siwezi, siwezi tena kupona (When You say, “I cannot get well”)
Ndi’ kwa Mungu anashuka, kukuponya magonjwa yako (God descends, to heal your sickness)
Na kusema siwezi, siwezi tena kushinda vita (When you say, “I cannot win the battles”)
Ndi’ kuwa Mungu anashuka, na majeshi ya mbinguni (That is when God descends with the army of the heavens)
Na kusema siwezi, siwezi tena kupata mwenza (When you say “I cannot find my companion”)
Ndi’  kuwa Mungu anashuka, kukuletea mwenza wako (That is when God descends, bringing your companion)
Na kusema siwezi, siwezi tena kuinuliwa (When you say, “I cannot be lifted”)
Ndi’ kwa Mungu anashuka, kutimiza ahadi zae (That is when God descends to fulfill His promises)

Refrain:
Repeat: Shuka tukuone Mungu wetu (Come down God, that we may see You)
Oh Baba shuka (Oh Father come down)
Oh Jehova rafa shuka (Lord our Healer, descend)
Akili zetu zimefika mwisho Baba, shuka (Our minds cannot fathom any more, Father descend)
Pekee yetu hatuwezi Jehova (We cannot do it by ourselves, Jehovah)
Twahitaji msaada wako, Mungu wetu (We need your help, our God)
‘Situwache, pekee yetu hatuwezi (Do not leave us by ourselves, for we are not able)
Oh Baba shuka (Oh Father come down)
Oh Jehova Rafa shuka (Lord our Healer, descend)

Wana wa Isiraeli, walipofika bahari ya Shamu (The Israelites, when they got to the Red Sea)
Akili zao zote, zilifika mwisho (All their minds could not fathom crossing) (Repeat)

Tukimkumbuka Sara, hata alipofika uzeeni (When we remember Sarah, when she reached old age)
Tumaini la kumpata mtoto, ilifika mwisho (The hope of getting a child, reached the end) (Repeat)

Kuhani Ezekieli, akili yake tu iliposhindwa (Ezekiel the priest, where he was unable to fathom)
Mungu akashuka, akamwita Ezekieli (God descended, and called Ezekiel) (Repeat)

“Unaona nini mbele yako, eh Ezekieli?” (“What do you see before you, Ezekiel?”) (Repeat)

Ye’ Ezekieli, akamjibu Bwana, Ye’ Ezekieli (Ezekiel replied to the Lord) (Repeat)

“Mifupa mikavu, ndiyo ‘ko mbele yangu (“Dry bones are before me)
Vinanifanya nilie (They cause me to weep)
Mifupa mikavu, ndiyo ‘ko mbele yangu (Dry bones are before me)
Vinanifanya nishindwe” (They cause me to give up”)

(Refrain)

Jambo gani limefika mwisho, tumwite Bwana/Yesu (What has caused you to give up, so that we call upon the Lord/Jesus)
‘Shughulike na tatizo lako? (To take care of your troubles?) (Repeat)

‘jira yako imefika mwisho, usilie (Your employment has come to an end, do not weep)
Mungu yupo mtetezi wako, ‘tainusuru ajira yako (God is your defender, he will rescue your employment)
Afya yako imefika mwisho, usilie (Your health has come to an end, do not weep)
Mungu yupo mponyaji mwema, ‘taiponya afya yako (God the great healer is there, he will heal your health)

Naogopa (I’m Afraid) Lyrics by Zabron Singers

Leave a comment


(Sung in Swahili)

Naogopa, nikiwaambia watu sijui wataniona vipi? (I’m afraid to tell people, how will they see me?)
Naogopa, kuyasema yote acha tu ninyamaze kimya (I’m afraid to tell it all, let me remain silent)
Naogopa, kuwaambia watu wanaanza kunisengenya (I’m afraid tell people for they will gossip)
Nina maswali mengi, miguuni pako (I have a lot of questions by your feet)

Kwa nini Mungu, umekuwa kama vile huoni? (God why, have you turned a blind eye?)
Pesa sina, lakini umeacha niugue (I have no money, but you’ve let me suffer)
Namtegemea, lakini umemwacha aondoke (I depend on them, but you’ve let them leave me)
Kwa nini Mungu, umenyamaza? (Why God, have You been silent?)

Refrain:
Mawimbi ni makali, upepo ni mkali (The waves are violent, and the winds are strong)
Na mlima ni mkali, umenyamaza! (The mountains are steep, but You’ve been silent!)
Maumivu ni makali, na vita ni vikali (The pain is too much, and the battles are fierce)
Nimevumilia, nimeshindwa, sema kitu! (I have endured, and cannot anymore, say something!) (Repeat)

Mbona kwa yule umlitenda juzi, na leo tena? (Why have you done it for them yesterday and today)
Kuna ugumu kwangu Baba, sema basi (What is difficult for mine Father, say it)
Mimi binadamu nakosa majibu, sema Baba (I am mortal with no answers, say it Father)
Nakuamini sana Baba yangu, usiniache! (I trust You my Father, do not abandon me)

Kuna shinda gani, imekuwacha, hata usiseme (What is difficult for you to address?)
Kama ni kosa, naomba unisamehe (If I’ve been sinful, I pray that You forgive me)
Turekebishe, naomba unisamehe (Repair us, I pray that you forgive me)
Nateta nawe, sitokata tamaa (I contend with You, I will not give up)
Wa kuaamua yangu, bado ni we (You are still my judge)
Nakuamini Mungu, bado ni we (I still put my trust in You)

Naogopa, upo kimya kuna nini Mungu? (I am afraid, God, why are You quiet?)
Sema neno, usikae kimya, nisije kufuru Mungu (Say something do not be quiet that I rebel)
Kama siku zangu za kuishi duniani bado zipo (If my days on earth still remain)
Naomba sasa Baba umalize (Father I pray then that you may finish)
Umalizane na shinda zangu (Finish with all my struggles)

Mambo mengi nimeomba kwako, umejibu, hili hujajibu (I have prayed for many things that you’ve answered, I pray for this as well)
Mungu wangu, bado nasubiri kwako (My God, I still await You)
Jibu basi, watu wakuone wewe (Respond, that people see You)
Watu wakuone Baba, bado nasubiri kwako (People to see You Father, I still await You)

(Refrain)
