African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Swahili)

Nilipokutana na Yesu, Nilipokutana naye
(When I encountered Jesus, When I encountered Him)
Nilipokutana Baba, Nilipokutana naye
(When I encountered Jesus, When I encountered Him)
Tuliweka agano, kuwa mimi ni mwana wake
(We placed a covenant, that I am His child)
Yeye kwangu ni Baba, mimi wake ni mwana
(He is my father, I am a His child)
Mwana wake wa kweli (His true child)

Agano hili ni imara, agano hili lina nguvu
(This covenant is unshakeable, this covenant has power)
Siku zinavyokwenda, linaimarika zaidi
(As days go by, it is further strengthened)
Haijalishi mapito yangu, mimi ni mwana wake tu
(It does not matter what I go through, I am still His child)
Haijalishi hali yangu, mimi ni mwana wake
(No matter my situation, I am His child)
Baraka ni halali yangu, hata kama imechelewa
(Blessings are my right, even if they are late)
Afya njema ni haki yangu, hata kama imechelewa
(Good health is my right, even if it is late)
Eh nafsi yangu, tulia! (My still my soul!)

Repeat: Eh/oh, mimi mwana wake kweli (Eh/Oh, I am truly His child)
Mimi ni mwana wa Mungu, mimi (I am a child of God, I am)
Mimi ni mwana wa Mungu, mimi (I am a child of God, I am)
Haijalishi mazingira, mimi (It does not matter the environment, I am)
Mini ni mwana wa Mungu, mimi (I am the child of God, I am)
Hata kwamba niko gizani, mimi (Even if I’m in the darkness, I am)
Yeye ni nuru yangu, yeye (He is my light, He is)

Mimi simwonei mashaka, Mungu ninaye mwabudu
(I do not doubt the God that I worship)
Wala simwonei mashaka, Mungu ninaye mwamini
(And I do not doubt, the God I believe in)
Mimi simwonei mashaka, Mungu ninaye mwabudu
(I do not doubt the God that I worship)
Wala simwonei hofu, Mungu ninaye mwamini
(And I do not fear, the God that I believe in)

Haijalishi ni nyakati gani, ninayopitia mimi
(It does not matter the times that I go through)
Haijalishi ni majira gani, ninayopitia mimi
(It does not matter the seasons that I pass through)
(Repeat)

Wala simwonei mashaka, Mungu ninaye mwamini
(And I do not doubt, the God that I believe in)
Hofu no, Shaka no, kwa Mungu ninaye Mwamini
(Fear, No! Doubts, no! In the God that I believe in)
(Repeat)

Repeat: Eh/oh, mimi mwana wake kweli (Eh/Oh, I am truly His child)
Mimi ni mwana wa Mungu (I am a child of God)
Nasema mi ni mwana wa Mungu (I say, I am the child of God)
NImezaliwa kwa damu yake, jamani (I have been born by His Blood)
Na nimeishi kwa pendo lake, ah ah (And I live in His Love)
No, no… oh oh
No, no… oh oh
Nasema mi ni mwana wa Mungu (I say, I am the child of God)
