Rain Swahili Gospel Lyrics, Tanzania , , , , , , Leave a comment


(Sung in Kiswahili)

Ni moja, ni moja jana, ni moja leo (It is the same, yesterday and today)
Ni moja asili yake ni Yesu Kristo  (The foundation is Jesus Christ)
Ibada moja, sheria moja, mapokeo yale yale  (Common worship, common norm and traditions)
Limeenea pande zote, ulimwengu mzima (Has spread throughout the world)

Refrain:
(Najivunia) Nimezaliwa kwenye moja ([I’m proud] Born to the one)
Kanisa takatifu sana  (The holy church)
Katoliki la mitume kweli (Catholic of the apostles/saints)
Nikabatizwa, mimi Mkatoliki (I have been baptized, I’m a Catholic) (Repeat)

Liliwachwa mikononi mwa halifa wake, Mtume Petro
(It was left to His steward, apostle Peter)
Alipokabidhiwa na Bwana Yesu alichunge Kanisa
(He was entrusted by Lord Jesus to shepherd the Church)
Mridhi wake ndiye Papa wetu, Baba Mtakatifu
(His successor is our father, the holy Pope)

(Refrain)

Sakramenti za kutuweka karibu kabisa na Mwenyezi
(The Sacraments that place us closer to the Almighty)
Ubatizo, ekaristi, kipaimara, upadre na ndoa
(Baptism, Eucharist, confirmation, priesthood and matrimony)
Na kitubio, mpako wa wagonjwa kujipatanisha na Baba
(Alongside confession and anointing of the sick to reconcile us with the Father)

(Refrain)

Repeat: Simama eh tumshangilie Mungu, kwa zawadi ya imani Katoliki (Stand let us praise God for the gift of the Catholic faith)
Mkatoliki simama (Stand, Catholic)
Tusimame tulinde imani yetu (Stand, let us defend our faith)
Sheria za kanisa ni nguzo yetu (The Church’s laws our foundation)
Amri kumi za Mungu msingi wetu (The ten commandments of God our foundation)
Amri ya upendo yamaliza yote (The commandment of Love completes it all)

(Sung in Kiswahili – A Partial Hymn)

Pendo kuu la Yesu, lilitosha Kalvary (The Great Love of Jesus was enough at Calvary)
Msalaba wa dhambi, niliupenda Kalvary (The cross of sin, I loved at Calvary)
Alinipenda Yesu, akainingia gharama (Jesus loved me, that He took on my debt)
Msamaha wa dhambi, niliupata Kalvary (The forgiveness of sins, I received at Calvary)

Refrain:
Alilipa deni zangu (He paid my debts)
Kwa gharama ya mauti (Through the cost of His death)
Msamaha wa dhambi (The forgiveness of sin)
Niliupata Kalvary (I received at Calvary) (Repeat)

Yesu atujua, mchunga wetu (The Shepherd Jesus knows us)
Naye atufuta, machozi yetu (He will wipe away our tears)
Mkononi mwake, hatuna hofu (We have no fear in His hands)
Daima twapata, kwake wokovu (Forever we receive salvation in Him)

(Refrain)

Yote namtolea Yesu, nampa moyo wote (I give Jesus my all and my heart)
Nitampenda Yesu, namwandama kila saa (I shall love Jesus and follow Him forever)
Chini ya msalaba, nataka simama (I want to stand under the cross)
Ndiye mwamba safarini, kwa kivuli jema (He is the rock and shelter in the journey)

(Refrain)

— Part of “Nataka Nimjue Yesu (More about Jesus)” Hymn
Nataka nifahamu (More about Jesus, in His Word)
Na nizidi kupambanua (Holding communion with my Lord)
Mapenzi yake nifanye (Hearing His voice in every line)
Yale yanayompendeza (Making each faithful saying mine)
Nataka nikae naye (More about Jesus on His throne)
Kwa mazungumzo zaidi (Riches in glory all His own)
Nizidi kuwaonyesha (More of His kingdom’s sure increase)
Wengine wokovu wake (More of His coming, Prince of Peace)

(Refrain)

Msamaha wa dhambi (The forgiveness of sin)
Niliupata Kalvary (I received at Calvary) (Repeat)

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Mungu wangu nimekuja kushitaki yule adui yangu x2
(My God, I have come to accuse my enemy)

Waraka wa adui yangu umeandikwa (The enemy’s letter has been written)
Kwamba mwaka huu mimi sitainuliwa (That this year I will not be promoted)
Waraka wa adui yangu umeandikwa (The enemy’s letter has been written)
Kwamba mwaka huu mimi nitafukuzwa kazi (That this year I will will be fired)
Waraka wa adui wangu umeandikwa tena (The enemy’s letter has been written)
Kwamba ndoa yangu mimi itavunjika (That my marriage will break apart)

Nimekuja Baba, kuleta pingamizi (Father, I have come to bring an objection)
Nimekuja Baba, kuleta appeal yangu (Father, I have come to file my appeal)
Nimekuja Baba, kuvunja ule waraka (Father I have come to nullify that document)
Eh Baba, simama nami, nitetee (Oh Father, stand with me and defend me)

Mungu wangu, nimekuja kushitaki yule adui wangu x2
(My God, I have come to accuse my enemy)

Repeat: Mungu wangu, nimekuja kushitaki yule adui wangu (My God, I have come to accuse my enemy)
Ananiwazia mabaya, eh baba nitetee (He wishes ill for me, Father defend me)
Naamani, Naamani, Naamani mtesi wangu (Naaman, my persecutor)

Waraka wa adui yangu, irudi kwa mwenyewe
Aliyonipangia mie yarudi kwake mwenyewe (Repeat)

Repeat: Nakataa, nakataa (I refuse, I reject)
Kutoinuliwa (Not being promoted)
Kufutwa kazi (Losing my job)
Kuishi masikini mimi (For me to live in poverty)
Kuishi maisha ya usingle (To live a single life)
Mtoto wangu kufukuzwa shule (My child being sent from school)
Ndoa yangu kuvunjika mimi (My marriage breaking apart)

Mungu wangu, nimekuja kushitaki yule adui wangu x2
(My God, I have come to accuse my enemy)

Repeat: Mungu wangu, nimekuja kushitaki yule adui wangu (My God, I have come to accuse my enemy)
Ananiwazia mabaya, eh baba nitetee (He wishes ill for me, Father defend me)
Naamani, Naamani, Naamani mtesi wangu (Naaman, my persecutor)

Mungu wangu, nimekuja kushitaki yule adui wangu x2
(My God, I have come to accuse my enemy)

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Umbali nimefika (Thus far I have come)
Si kwa nguvu zangu, si uwezo wangu (Is not by my strength and might)
Bwana amefanya (It is the Lord that has done it)
Hapa nasimama (Where I stand)
Si kwa nguvu, si uwezo wangu (Is not because of my strength and might)
Bwana amefanya (But the Lord has done it) (Repeat)

Nimeona wema, wema (I have seen such goodness)
Wema usiosemeka (Goodness that cannot be described) (Repeat)

Mungu asiyeshindwa (Undefeated God)
Nimemwona, nimeona (I have seen Him, I have seen)
Mungu asiopendelea (God who does not discriminate)
Nimeona (I have witnessed) (Repeat)

Rafiki, mwaminifu (Faithful Friend)
Oh tena nimemwona (I have seen Him)
Shujaa, shujaa wa vita (Mighty Man in Battle)

Bwana ni Mungu (The Lord is God)
Akisema Neno, linasimama (When He says a Word, it stands) (Repeat)

(Sung in Kiswahili)

See your praise, see your mercy over me
See your blessings, all around look at me
Umenizunguka kila upande, kama umande
(You have surrounded me on every side, like dew)
Umenipa kutembea kifua mbele, kama afande
(You have given me to walk with my chest forward, like a commander)

Pre-Refrain:
Ona watesi, hawaamini macho yao (Look, the oppressors do not believe their eyes)
Adui, sinasi kwenye mitego yao (Enemies, I am not trapped in their traps)
Hawajui, kwako mi n kama mboni (They do not know, to You I am like the pupil of an eye)
Hawanifikii, umenificha ndani (They cannot reach me, You have hidden me inside)

Refrain:
For sure mikononi mwako niko salama (I am safe in Your hands)
Tufani na pepo zavuma siwezi zama ( I cannot sink though storms and winds blow)
Mishale ni mingi na bado niko sana (The arrows are many and I’m still alive)
Hawajui, umenificha ndani (They do not know, You have hidden me)
Uhakika wa kesho ninao si dana dana (I have certainty of tomorrow)
Naona muujiza kila nikijitazama (I see a miracle every time I look at myself)
Mishale ni mingi na bado nipo sana (The arrows are many and I’m still alive)
Hawajui, umenificha ndani (They do not know, You have hidden me inside)

Yo yo yo, yo yo yoyoyo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yo (Repeat)

Vinatii, vile ninaamuru vinakuwa mbinguni (They obey; what I command comes to be in heaven)
Napokanyaga kwangu panakuwa (Where I step becomes mine)
Sihofi yanayowaangusha wengi mi kwango nd’o daraja
(I do not fear what makes many fall, for me it is a bridge)
Mabaya yanayokusudiwa yanaleta mema (What was intended for ill has brought me good)

(Pre-Refrain + Refrain)

Yo yo yo, yo yo yoyoyo
Yo yo yo, yo yo yo (Repeat)
