English Lyrics, Nigeria Nathaniel Bassey, The Blood Leave a comment
The Accuser of the brethren finds a way
To come before the Holy Church of all the earth
Points a finger at the faults and failings of the saints
Then he makes a case:
“Won’t You judge them now?”
But I’ve got an advocate in Heaven’s court
My Redeemer and the High Priest of my soul
Jesus Christ the Lamb, the Holy Lamb of God
When He hears the case, this is what He says:
I see the Blood, I see the Blood, I see the Blood
I see the Blood, I see the Blood, My precious Blood
I see the Blood, I see the Blood, Eternal saving Blood
They don’t have to cry, I have paid the price
Even though my Victory has long been won
The Accuser never stops so hard to try
Fighting with the thoughts of You, just so I can doubt
Who I am in Christ, but this is what I say:
I plead the Blood, I plead the Blood, I plead the Blood
I plead the Blood, I plead the Blood, the Precious Blood
I plead the Blood, the Blood, Eternal saving Blood
I don’t have to cry, (My) Jesus paid the price (Repeat)
We overcame him by the Blood, Satan
And by the words of our testimony
When we fall short and confess
The Father is willing to forgive
I plead the Blood, I plead the Blood,I plead the Blood
I plead the Blood, I plead the Blood, of Jesus Christ
I plead the Blood, I plead the Blood, I plead the Blood,
Sanctification, justification
Salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ
We have victory by the Blood of the Lamb
Plead the Blood, just plead the Blood

Swahili Gospel Lyrics, Tanzania Angel Benard, I Surrender Leave a comment
(Sung in Swahili)
Sikupi mipaka tena (I will not set boundaries on You again)
Chukua nafasi Bwana (Take the space, Lord)
Miliki kila chumba ndani yangu (Occupy every room in me)
Sikupi mipaka tena (I will not set boundaries on You again)
Panga na pangua (Arrange and re-arrange)
Yape yote sura yako (Make everything to be like You)
Acha nifurike wewe (Let me overflow with You)
Wewe tu (Only You)
Panga na pangua (Arrange and rearrange)
Yape yote sura yako (Everything to be like You)
Siwezi bila wewe (I cannot without You)
I surrender, I surrender
Sikupi mipaka tena (I will not set boundaries on You again)
I surrender
Umenijua toka kale (You have known me from before)
Kabla kuumbwa kwangu (Before I was even created)
Nitawezaje bila wewe? (How can I succeed without You?)
Hatua zangu bila wewe (My steps without You)
Ni bure nataishia (Is useless, and I will end up)
Uharibifuni (In destruction)
Ninakuhitaji (I need You)
I surrender, I surrender
Sikupi mipaka tena (I will not set boundaries on You)
I surrender (Repeat)
I surrender, I surrender
Sikupi mipaka (I do not set boundaries on You)

Swahili Gospel Lyrics, Tanzania Unaniona, Walter Chilambo 1 Comment
(Sung in Swahili)
Kama Mungu angechangua watu wake (If God selected His people)
Mimi singekuwepo duniani (I would not be here on earth)
Kama Mungu angechagua watakatifu (If God selected the Holy ones)
Mimi singekuwepo duniani (I would not be here on earth)
Refrain:
Mimi binadamu, wala si malaika (I am but a human, not an angel)
Mengi nimekosea na kukuchukiza (I have wronged and offended You)
Mi nafanya mambo yasiyo stahili (I have done things I should not have)
Nimevuruga vuruga mipango yako (I have disrupted Your plans)
Wanihurumia (Yet You have mercy on me)
Mbele ya macho ya wanadamu (Before human eyes)
Nilikuwa nikijificha (I was hiding)
Kumbe wewe waniona (But You see me)
Kwa kujifanya mtakatifu (By pretending to be Holy)
Tena bingwa mkarimu (And a generous victor)
Nilikuwa/(Kwenye ibada) mnyenyekevu (I was/in worship humble)
Tena mpole sana (Also submissive) (Repeat)
Kumbe Mungu, unaniona/unionae (Truly God You see me/who sees me)
Macho yako, yanitazama/yanitazamae (Your eyes gaze at me/sees me)
Sikio lako, yanisikia (Your ear, hears me)
Siwezi jificha (I cannot hide) (Repeat)
Sasa nimetambua, mbivu na mbichi ni zipo (I have now learned to differentiate)
Sasa ninaelewa, njia salama ni wapi (Now I know where the true path lies)
Na nimejua bila ya wewe sifiki (And have understood, without You I will not arrive)
Hata nikila pasipo neno lako sishibi (Even if I eat without Your word, I am not satisfied)
Neema yako, ila kwa neema yako (Your Grace, it’s only by your Grace)
Upendo wako, kwa upendo wako (Your Love, by Your Love)
Rehema zako zimeniimarisha tena (Your mercies reestablishes me) (Repeat)
(Refrain)
