(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)

Repeat: Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)
Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)
Kwa ajili yako mimi naishi, Baba (Because of you I’m alive)
Pasipo wewe singekuwepo, Baba eh (Without you I would not be here)
Mimi ni kazi ya mikono yako, Baba (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 ndiwe Mungu wangu (Because you are my God)
Uliniumba, niseme matendo yako (You created me to tell of your actions)
Wewe ndiwe, Mungu wa miungu we (You are the God of gods)
Wewe kimbilio letu, na ngome yetu (You are our fortress and help)
Hakuna aliye kama wewe (There is no one like you)

(Refrain)

Maneno ya kusema yananikosa ( I am lost for words)
Nilipoachwa na mama, ukawa mama kwangu (When my mother left me, You became my mother)
Ukampa Baba nguvu ya kunilea (You gave my father the strength to raise me)
Nilipokosa maziwa, ukanilisha (When I did not find milk, You fed me)
Nilipolia usiku na mchana, ulikuwa nami (When I cried day and night, You were with me)
Kukuwa kwangu ilikuwa ndoto, ndiyo maana nasimama nikuabudu, eh (My growth was a dream, that is why I stand here worshiping You)
Ebenezer

Repeat: Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)
Ninasema uliniumba (I say You created me)
Wewe ni nuru ya maisha yangu, Baba (You are the light of my life, Father)
Wewe ni mwanga wa imani yangu, Baba (You are the light of my faith, Father)
Kwa huruma yako mimi niko hai (It is by Your Mercies that I am alive)
Umeokoa familia yangu (You have saved my family)
Umenilinda toka utotoni (You have taken care of me from childhood)
Umenipa sauti nikuimbie, Baba (And gave me a song to sing to You, Father)

We nd’o maisha yangu, Baba (Father, You are my life)
Hallelujah
Oh, Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)
Oh, Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)
Oh, Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)

(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)

(Refrain)

Rain Swahili Gospel Lyrics, Tanzania , , , 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)

(Sung in Swahili)

Mtakaa asubuhi, kiza kitaingia
(You will wait from morning, until darkness come)
Kusubiri aibu yangu kama mlivyozoea
(Waiting for my shame like you’re used to)
Ina maana hamjui, imebaki historia
(But you do not know, that that is now history)

Kati ya watakaofutwa machozi
(From among those whose tears would be wiped)
Nami nimechaguliwa (I have been chosen)
Kilio changu cha muda mrefu, amekisikia
(My longstanding cries, He has heard them)
Hakuna tena cha mikosi: ni kufanikiwa
(There is no more troubles: Now it is prospering)

Refrain:
Wa zamani si wa sasa (The one  of the past is not of the present)
Mambo yamebadilika, eh (Things have changed)
Imekula kwe- imekula kwenu eh (Now shame is on you)

Namjua ninayemtumikia (I know whom I serve)
Namjua ninayemwimbia (I know whom I praise)
Mfalme wa wafalme (King of kings)
Funguo ya maisha yangu (Keys of my life)

Mlinicheka sana (You laughed o much)
Mpaka kudiriki kusema (That you could not speak)
Namwamini Mungu, asiyeona (I believe in God who does not discriminate)

Na niliposema nitajenga majumba (When I said I will build houses)
Yaani, mlicheka sana (You laughed at me)
Niliposema nitamiliki magari (When I said I will drive cars)
Mkaguna “mhh, ndoto ya mchana” (You complained “Mh, daytime dreams”)
Mkasema ni ndoto, ndoto (You said it was all dreams)
Niache utoto (I should grow up)
Maana haiwezekani (Because they were impossible)

Kumbe yupo Msemaji wa Mwisho (But there is one with the final say)
Anaandaa kesho yangu (He prepares my tomorrow)
Nisibakie kama jana (For me not to remain like yesterday)
Aibu hiyo (Shame to you)

Baba yangu si kiziwi (My father is not deaf)
Hata asinisikie (That he would not listen to me)
Baba yangu si kipofu (My father is not blind)
Hata asinione (That He may not see me)
Baba yangu si mchoyo (My father is not selfish)
Hata asinibariki (That he may not bless me)
Mlipanga mabaya (You planned evil on me)
Imekula kwenu (Shame now is on you)

Wa zamani si wa sasa (The one  of the past is not of the present)
Mambo yamebadilika (Things have now changed)
Mlipanga nife (You planned for my demise)
Imekula kwenu, eh (Now shame is on you)

(Refrain)

Wa zamani si wa sasa (The one  of the past is not of the present)
Yale yaniyonitesa (What persecuted me)
Nayo yamebadilika (Now has changed)
Imekula kwenu eh (Now shame is on you)

(Refrain)

Walizoea kuona naharibikiwa (They got used to my spoilt plans)
Wakasema sitafanikiwa (They said I will not be successful)
Mungu, amebadilisha mambo (God, has changed things)

Pale akili yenu ilipoishia (Where your thoughts ended)
Baba yangu nd’o anapoanzia (That is where my Father started from)
Jambo, kufanya jambo (To do great things)

Mtakaa barazani kuniongelea (You will sit in your councils, speaking against me)
Mabaya kuniombea (Praying evil on me)
Ila ng’ambo, nitavuka ng’ambo (But I will cross over)

Kama ni kiwete nimetembea (If I was lame, I have now walked)
Aibu kaniondolea (He has removed my shame)
Mimi sio yule wa jana (I am not as I was yesterday)

(Refrain)

Tunaye Baba mwenye uweza, Alfa na Omega
(We have a father who is capable, Alpha and Omega)
Huinua wanyonge toka mavumbini machoni pa adui
(He lifts the weak from dust, in front of their enemies)

Unayenisikiliza, kipi kinakuliza?
(The one who listened to me, what is bothering you?)
Mwambie Yesu, achana na wanadamu hao
(Tell Jesus, leave those humans alone)

Hata wakuite tasa, sawa (Even if they call you barren, it is ok)
Waseme masikini, sawa (They say you are poor, it is OK)
Waseme huolewi (They said you cannot get married)
Matusi yote wamalize (Let them finish all their insults)

Wala usiwajibu, sawa (But do not respond to them, OK)
Nyamaza kimya, sawa (Be quiet, OK)
Kisasi si chako wewe (Revenge is not yours to mete)
Mambo yatabadilika (Things will change)

(Refrain)

Mimi si yule wa jana, wa sasa (I am not like yesterday)
Namuona Bwana, badilika (I have seen my Lord, and changed)
Usiku na mchana (Day and night)
imekula kwenu (Imekula kwenu eh) (Shame is on you)

Yaliyoshindikana, wa sasa (What was blocked, now is different)
Yamewezekana (All is possible)
Hata useme hapana (Even if you say no)
Imekula kwenu, imekula kwenu eh (Shame is on you)

(Refrain)
