Show me one so beautiful like Him
Like Him, like Jesus (Repeat)

(He is)

Refrain:
Beauty personified
Risen and glorified
Fairer than our words could ever tell about Him
There has never been; and will never be
One so beautiful like Him

Show me one so wonderful like Him
Like Him, like Jesus (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Show me one so beautiful like You
Like You, my darling Jesus
Would You show me one so beautiful like You
Because I have never found, like You Jesus

Yeshua is, beauty personified
Risen and glorified
Fairer than our words could ever tell about You
There has never been; and will never be
One so beautiful like You

Akida (Centurion) Lyrics by Zabron Singers

(Sung in kiswahili)

Namtafuta Bwana, yule yule wa ushindi (I seek the Lord of victory)
Mi nd’o pekee najua, wapi alikonitoa (Only I know how far He’s brought me)
Nina historia, uzoifu wa ushindi (I have the history and experience of victory)
Kwa macho nimeona, Mungu alivyo nibeba (I have witnessed, how God has carried me)
From zero to hero, from nothing to something
Nami leo mi ni mtu, katikati ya watu (Today I am someone in the midst of people)

Hakuna kama Mungu, hii dunia (There is none like God on this earth)
Alitamka ikawa, ikatokea (He said and it was, it came to be)
Umbali tumefika, ni huyu Yesu (Thus far we have come, is because of this Jesus)
Asingekuwa Mungu, singefika hapa (If it wasn’t for God, I would not be here)

Nami kama akida, Bwana ukisema neno tu
(I am like the Centurion, Lord if You just say the world)
Hapa nilipo, shida zangu zitakoma (Where I am, my troubles will cease)
Yaani kama akida, Bwana utamke neno tu (hebu sema neno)
(Just like the centurion, Lord if you say one word–just say the word)
Hapa nilipo, shida zangu zitakoma (Where I am my troubles will cease) (Repeat)

Zitakoma, shida zangu zitakoma (They will cease, my troubles will stop)
Hapa nilipo, shida zangu zitakoma (Where I am, my troubles will cease)
Zitakoma, shida zangu zitakoma – Bwana sema neno

Hapa nilipo eh, hapa nilipo (Oh where I currently am)
Bwana hapa nilipo, eh Yesu hapa nilipo
Shida zangu zitakoma

Akida aliishi na mtumwa aliyempenda (The centurion lived with a beloved servant)
‘Kaugua kiasi cha hata kufa (But the servant was ill and close to death)
Akatuma wazee wamwite Yesu aje nyumbani mwake (He sent elders to request Jesus to come to his home)

Alipotuma wazee wamwite Yesu nyumbani mwake (When he sent the elders to call unto Jesus)
Aje ili amponye huyu mtumwa wake (That He might heal his servant)
Kabla afike tena akatuma wajumbe (Even before He arrived, he sent other messengers)

“Yesu, wala usijisumbue (To say, “Jesus do not trouble yourself)
Kufika nyumbani kwa akida (To come to the centurion’s house)
Sema neno tu hapo ulipo, na mtumwa atapona” (Just say the word where you are, and the servant will be healed”)

Yesu akaugeukia mkutano, kawambia “Sijaona
(Jesus turned to those following and said, “I have not seen)
Israeli hii yote, sijaona imani kubwa kama hii” (In all Israel,  faith greater than this)

Walipofika nyumbani kule, nyumbani kwa yule akida (When they arrived at the centurion’s home)
Walimkuta mtumwa yule, tayari keshapona (They found the servant already healed)

Nami kama akida, Bwana ukisema neno tu
(I am like the Centurion, Lord if You just say the world)
Hapa nilipo, shida zangu zitakoma (Where I am, my troubles will cease)
Yaani kama akida, Bwana utamke neno tu (hebu sema neno)
(Just like the centurion, Lord if you say one word–just say the word)
Hapa nilipo, shida zangu zitakoma (Where I am my troubles will cease) (Repeat)

(Languages: Kiswahili, English)

Refrain:
Nitauimba wimbo huu wimbo ulio wa kusifu, roho nzito ya huzuni uwe huru
(I will sing this song of praise, to free heavy and sorrowful hearts)
N’taendelea kwa sifa iliyobeba siri, kwamba kwa Yesu kuna uhuru
(I’ll continue with the praise carrying the secret that in Jesus there’s liberty)
Nitalizima sauti zinazovuta watu, kwa shimo la kukata tamaa
(I will silence the voices that drag people to the pits of giving up)
Kwa wimbo mtamu wa furaha nakuja upesi, kwa ajili yangu na we
(In the sweet joyful song I come quickly for you and me)

Ni wimbo ambao umebeba ujumbe kwa pamoja katika usiku mkuu
(It is a song that has carried the word in the heavy night)
Na wimbo huu waweza tia matumaini mwanadamu anapoanguka
(And this song can give hope to a human when they fail)
Ni wimbo mtamu unaweza fungua minyororo kwa waliofungwa awali
(It is a sweet song that can break the chains of those who were bound)
Waweza kuwa na hakika kupitia wimbo njia yako ya kupitia
(Through the song, you can have assurance on your journey)

(Refrain)

Don’t tell me the world is a hopeless old place
And I might as well just give in
To the doom and gloom life’s a waiting room
For the blow that’ll do us all in
I can’t sympathize when before my eyes is a hope shining bright as day
I gotta follow that song that keeps drawing me home
With my feet dancing all the way

I’m gonna sing just as long as it takes for a song
To make sad and heavy spirits free
I’m gonna keep making new music that carries the secret that Jesus is Liberty
I’m gonna turn off the sounds that’ll drag people down
To the pit of despondency
With the sweet happy tune
He is coming soon for His children like you and me (Repeat)

With the sweet happy tune
He is coming soon for His children like you and me

I’m gonna sing just as long as it takes for a song
To make sad and heavy spirits free
I’m gonna keep making new music that carries the secret that Jesus is Liberty
I’m gonna turn off the sounds that’ll drag people down
To the pit of despondency
With the sweet happy tune
He is coming soon for His children like you and me

With the sweet happy tune
He is coming soon for His children like you and me

(Sung in Kinyarwanda)

Bwo intambara zazag’ umusubirizo (When wars break against me over and over)
Nabonaga kwambuka ari ihurizo  (And I am besieged on all sides)
Isoko y’indirimbo yari yarakamye (When the source of my songs had run dry)
Umurab’ ukambwira ko wantereranye (And the wave whisper that you’ve forsaken me)

Erega nubwo ntakubonaga waruhari (You were there even though I couldn’t see you)
Ahubwo nuko nari naguy’ isari (But it is because I had perished)
Mana waraje maz’ unkora ku mboni (God you came and opened my eyes)
Urandamir’ unkura mu usoni (Rescued me took away my shame)

Refrain:
Uri umwami utajya ubura uko ugira (You are the Lord who never fails)
Ni wowe ujya umpanagura amarira (You are the one who wipes my tears)
Uhor’ umpisha aho umwanzi atagera (You keep me away from the enemy’s reach)
Abakwiringiye bos’ urabimana (You protect those that trust in You)

Refrain 2:
Uri Yhaweh naya mashimwe n’ ayawe (You are Yahweh and all these praises are yours)
Unkuye mu mwijima unyomoy’ inguma (You took me out of the dark and healed my wounds)
Yesu we umbambiye ihema (Oh Jesus, you set sacred tent for me) (Repeat)

Ubu sinkiri imbata y’ubwoba (I’m no longer a slave to fear)
Umwami anshyize mu mababa (The Lord put me in His tent)
Uburinzi bwe burushije imbaraga (His protection is more powerful)
Inkubi y’ibindega (Than my failures)

Urongeye unyeretse imbabazi (You have showed me Your mercy again)
Unyeretse n’ubushobozi (You have shown me Your might)
Umbohoye ingoyi nta kiguzi (You broke my chains without a price)
Unkuye kuri uyu musozi (And taken me out of this mountain)

(Refrain + Refrain2)

Unkuye mu mwijima unyomoye inguma (You took me out of the dark and healed my wounds)
Yesu we umbambiye ihema (Oh Jesus, you set the tabernacle for me) (Repeat)

Olodumare (Creator) Lyrics by Joel Lwaga

(Languages: Kiswahili, Pidgin, English)

Hey, Baba Olodumare (Creator) my one and only
The Giver of Life, equal to none
Hapa nimesimama coz uko na mimi (I stand here because You are with me)
You never let me go
Mipaka yangu umeitanulia mbali (You have expanded my territory)
Even sky sio limit kwa hii kibali (Even the sky is not the limit on this favor)
Hata haters wanashangilia kwa undani (Even the haters are amazed)
Umewawin hao (For you have “won” them)

Pre-Refrain:
Sina kingine mimi najivunia, zaidi yako Baba
(I have nothing else that I am proud of, than You Father)
Ndio maana niku tuli nimetulia, we hunanga baya
(That is why I am calm, for You have no bad)
Hata wale wananionea husuda, shabaha yao mbaya
(Even the ones who envy me, their aim is crooked )
Watanipataje? Mwamba umenifunika
(How would they get me? The Rock has covered me)
Bure wata tire (They will tire for nothing)

Coz I know that

Refrain:
You got me wey You got me
You got me wey You got me, Papa
You got me wey You got me
That is why I’m never, never falling down (Repeat)

Nikiteleza Baba unaniinua (When I slide, Father You lift me)
Hujanitupa wala huanijutia (You have not given up, You do not regret me)
Kama ni toba zimejaa gunia (If it is repentance, they fill the sack)
Ukweli ni kwamba tu umenihurumia (The truth is that I have had mercy on me)
Ningekulipa nini kama ungetaka? (If you demanded payment, how could I pay You?)
Nilipe jema moja moja? (Do I pay good, one by one?)
Maana hata hii pumzi niyayovuta (For even this air that I breathe)
Hakuna dollar ingetosha (There is no money that could purchase it)

(Pre-Refrain + Refrain)
