(Languages: English, Bemba)

Your throne is mercy
And I am thirsty
For living waters
For living waters

It’s grace not burdens
Your will is saving
Your sons and daughters
Your sons and daughters

Refrain:
Tata eh (Oh Father)
Nde lumbanye nshina lyenu (I praise Your Name)
Tata eh (Father)
Shimwilili (Infinite God)

Even in the darkest times
Your light’s living in me
Permanent and not sometimes

Now we’re laying down these crowns
We have before Your throne
Confident we realize

Nshita yakwa Lesa (God’s time)
Te nshita ya munthu (Is not man’s time)
Nshita yakwa Lesa (God’s time)
Te nshita ya munthu (Is not man’s time)
Alpha, Omega
Te nshita ya munthu (Is not man’s time)
Alpha, Omega
We’re here to surrender

(Refrain)

Christ is not in the grave
He is the Ancient of day
Why should I be afraid?
Mu nshila iya luse (On the path of Grace)
All my debt has been paid
By mercy displayed
In Your Love we’ll remain
Mu nshila iya luse (On the path of Grace)

Nshita yakwa Lesa (God’s time)
Te nshita ya munthu (Is not man’s time)
Nshita yakwa Lesa (God’s time)
Te nshita ya munthu (Is not man’s time)
Alpha, Omega
Te nshita ya munthu (Is not man’s time)
Alpha, Omega
We’re here to surrender

No, I don’t  no, I don’t walk alone
Na mulya mu nshila ya mpepo (I shelter under His wings) (Repeat)

Your throne is mercy
And I am thirsty
For living waters
For living waters

It’s grace not burdens
Your will is saving
Your sons and daughters
Your sons and daughters

(Refrain)

Silence Lyrics by Pompi

Rain Bemba, Zambia 4 Comments


(Non-English Parts sung in Bemba)

All you need a seed, a mustard seed
To be specific it’s all you need
And in faith just speak
And it shall be
Lazarus ali gone (Lazarus resurrecting (?))
Is what you should see
Get a vision and call it

Refrain:
Silence! Ve a funa ni silence (What he wants is silence)
Wene uja kawalala (That thief that you know)
Ve a funa ni silence (What he wants is silence)
Speak what you want to see
Declare what you want to be
Osati, Silence! (Not silence!)
Ve a funa ni silence (What he wants is silence)

I am strong in the Lord
And the power of His might
Tell a lion you can’t bite
Ngati unga kambe na lupili (If you can speak to a mountain)
Ninshi ili na matu (Then it means it has ears)
You steps aside
’cause I know where my treasure is
It’s on the other side
And I’m here with some witnesses

(Refrain)

Get to a land that’s promised
Speak to the rock – don’t strike it
Yes you can move that mountain
(You can move that mountain)
In faith our belief was founded

Get to your place of promise x2
Speak to the rock – don’t strike it x2
(No delay)
Yes you can move that mountain x2
(And I’ve seen it move)
In faith our belief was founded
(My belief was founded)

(Refrain)

Speak with no delay
And sing now with no delay (Repeat x?)

(Purchase “Runaway Child” | Buy the “Mubanga” Album)

(Sung in Bemba)

Nali ku bumba, ne minwe shandi (I created you with my own hands)
Nali ku pela ishina lyandi (I gave you my name)
No ku ku panga umwana wandi (And made you my heir)
Nali ku bumba no ku ku pela ubumi (I created you and gave you life)
U ku ku samfya, u ku ku wamya, no ku ku temwa (I washed you,  cleansed you and loved you)

Refrain:
Nomba wile kwi, wemwana wandi (Now where have you gone, My child)
Nomba wile kwi ulubile kwi, (Where have you gone, ehere are you disappeared to)
‘Cause I want you back
You should think of my love and my grace,
I’m the only thing you need
You should think of my love and my grace,
I’m the only thing you need
Come back, come back, come back Runaway Child
Come back, come back, come back

I held you in my arms, I saw you smiling
I fell in love with you, I thought you loved me too
And I know it’s not easy but I’ll give you strength to fight
Don’t you hide when you’re hurting; let me heal you with my love

(Refrain)

Oh the things you feel, I feel too
Oh the things you see, I see too
But my child, I’m all you need
so please come back home, please come back

(Refrain)
