(Sung in Zulu – A Hymn)

Lenan’iZulu ngeculo lam’ (The heavens rejoice because of my song)
Ngithethelelw’ izono zam’ (My sins have been forgiven)
UJesu wafa endaweni yam’ (Jesus died in my place)
Zonk’ izono zami zikude nam’ (And now my sins are far from me)
Njeng’ ehlukane yemphumalanga (As the east is separate)
Mentshonalanga, zikude le’ (And far from the west)
Ushilo njalo,akanamanga (He promised, and he does not lie)
Ngithemba kuye, ngimboga nje (My trust is in Him, I praise Him)

Nal’enjabulo esingenayo (This joy that I have in me)
Ngingeyaphucwe, umuntu qha (No man can take it away)
Noma ngihlezi ngizidla ngayo (Though I sit proud of it .?.)
Imiyalo yakhe, ngab’inzima na (His commands are not difficult)
Uhlala kimi ngihlalo kuye (He lives in me, and I in Him)
Nguyen’owenz’ umsebenzi la (He’s the one works in me)
Ozinikela aphathwe nguye (Whoever surrenders to Him)
Uyamnqobela zonk’ izitha nya (His enemies He will conquer)

Yobeke nawe (Woe unto you) x3
Ongakholwa (The unbeliever)
Uyabizel’ (You who have not been called) x3
Enhlanhleni la (To this great fortune)
Lomus’ongaka …? (This great Grace ?)
Wanele bonke, umusa lo (This Grace is sufficient)

(Sung in Sotho – A Hymn)

Ke sekilwe ke Jeso (I’m leaning on Jesus)
Ke dutse ho yena (I am dwelling in Him)
Fubeng sa hae ka jeno (On His chest today)
Ke ya khatholoha (I find rest)

Ke a pere Lerato (I am wearing Love)
Ka matsatsi ohle (All the days)
Che, ha ke tshohe letho (No, I do not fear anything)
Ke dutse ho yena (I am dwelling in Him)

(Verse 1) x?

Mapito (Trials) Lyrics by Gloria Muliro

(Sung in Swahili)

Mimi nashangaa, kumbe wakati wa mapito (I’m amazed that it times of trials)
Mambo yote hubadilika (Things change)
Mimi nashangaa, kumbe wakati wa mapito,
Hata rafiki anakutoroka (Even your friend deserts you)
Mimi nashangaa, kumbe wakati wa mapito,
Hauna wa kukutia moyo (There is no one to encourage you)
Kweli nashangaa, kumbe wakati wa mapito,
Mambo yote hubadilika (All things change)?
Hizi miaka zote mpenzi (My Love all this years)
Tumekuwa tu vizuri (We have done well)
Lakini kuanza jana unabadilika (But you’ve changed since yesterday)
Hutaki kuniona, kunikaribia hutaki mpenzi (You don’t want to see me or be close to me)
Pesa, unasemanga kwamba sina pesa (Money. You say I do not have money)
Hizi miaka zote mpenzi (All these years, my love)
Leo ndio umefunguka macho (It is today that your eyes gave been opened)
Umeona kwamba mimi masikini, sinanga pesa (To see that I am poor without money)?

Afadhali uniache jinsi ulivyonipata (It is better to leave me as you found me)
Najua ni mapito tu, bwana ananishughulikia (I know these are trials, The Lord will act on my behalf)
Nasema siwezi, kumuacha mungu wangu (I say I cannot leave my God)
Juu yako mpenzi (Because of You my love)
Mungu wangu anani shughulikia tu (My God acts on my behalf)

Refrain:
Uchungu wa mwana ni mzazi aujuaye (The parent understands the child’s pain)
Mapito yangu, baba wa mbingu anaona (My Heavenly Father is a witness to my trials)
(Repeat)

Jamani, wakati wa mapito (Truly in times of trials)
Usingojee kupigiwa makofi (Do not expect to be applauded)
Bali kupigwa makofi (But to be slapped)
Jamani, wakati wa mapito  (Truly in times of trials)
Usitarajie kutiwa moyo (Do not expect to be encouraged)
Bali kuvunjwa moyo  (But for your heart to be broken)
Wakati wa mapito (In times of trials)
Usitarajia marafiki (Do not expect friendship)
Bali manafiki kibao (But a lot of enmity)
Utakapo pata kesho, wengine wao watakurudia (Tomorrow when You’re blessed, others will return to you)
Watasema wanakujua (They will say they knew you)
Watasema walisimama na wewe, usiwakemee (That they stood with you, do not rebuke them)
Mungu, mungu ndiye analipa (God, God is the one who avenges)

(Refrain)

Atatenda tu, tenda tu, yeye (He will act on your behalf)
Atatenda tu, tenda tu, yeye (He will act on your behalf)

(Refrain)

He Loves Me Lyrics by Neyi Zimu

Leave a comment


I’ve been living life without a meaning
Not knowing He loves me
I’ve been seeking the approval of men
Not knowing He loves me
Now I live, and I breathe
In the safety of His Love
He’s forever mine, I’m forever His
And that is who I am!

Refrain:
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
I am created in His image and His likeness (Repeat)

(From the Top)

Response: Oh oh… He loves me!
Oh oh… He loves me!
You look at the mirror and say
With a smile in your face you say
Some of you have been told that you will amount to nothing say
They say you will never have a child because you are cursed, say
They say you will never get a job, say
Oh oh… He loves me! x?

(Refrain)

He loves me
I may be broken but, He loves me
I may be weak but, He loves me
I may be sick but, He loves me
I may be lost sometimes but, He loves me
I may be retrenched but He loves me
I know that He loves me

Response: Oh oh… He loves me!
Don’t be afraid to confess it right now, say
For God so loves the world that He gave His only…
What manner of love is this that the Father has bestowed on us…
Don’t You know that those who He loves ….
As long as we are for Him, nothing can be against them
Oh oh… He loves me!
