Chorus:
Hiyena Yehovha (Hiyena, hiyena Yehovha hiyena) x4 (It’s by grace, the grace of God)

Lifts me up, when I fall;
He’s my ever present help
In time of need
Covers me with his righteousness
What a healer, what a healer!
Refrain:
A healer; healer He is to me
When I’m falling, when I’m wounded and worn
Jesus takes me, into His loving arms again
What a healer, what a healer
What a healer, Healer He is to me
How often, have I wandered away
From safety, have I drifted away
But Jesus had to suffer to rescue me
He treats me, as no rebel at all
He lifts me up – every time that I fall
He’s my ever present help in times of need
And He covers me with his righteousness
What a healer, what a healer
(Refain)
What a healer he is to me x2
Jehovah Rapha my healer x2
And if he can do it for me, He can do it for you
You don’t have to worry no more
So receive your healing, receive your healing
Everybody help me say
Siliwelile iJordane (We have crossed river Jordan)
Siliwelile, Siliwelile (We have crossed)x2
Siliwelile singaphesheya (We have crossed to the other side)
(Repeat)
Sohlangana neNkosi le (We’ll meet the Lord there)
Sohlangana neNkosi le (We’ll meet the Lord there) x2
Siwelile singaphesheya (We have crossed to the other side)
(Repeat)
Chorus:
Niguse, niguse (Touch me, touch me)
Ukinigusa wewe, nitakuwa salama (If you touch me, I shall be safe) (repeat)
Niguse leo, nahitaji mguso wako (Touch me today, I need your touch)
Ukinigusa wewe, nitakuwa salama (If you touch me, I shall be safe)
Nahitaji mguso wako siku ya leo (I need your touch today)
Ukinigusa wewe, nitakuwa salama (If you touch me, I shall be safe)
Gusa maisha yangu, gusa mwenendo wangu (Touch my life, touch my ways)
Ukinigusa wewe, nitakuwa salama (If you touch me, I shall be safe)
(Chorus)
Mikononi mwako Baba kuna uzima (In your hands father there is life)
Uniguse wewe, mimi niwe salama (Touch me, that I may be safe)
Mikononi mwako Yahweh kuna amani tele (In your hands Yahweh, there is peace)
Uniguse wewe, mimi niwe salama (Touch me, that I may be safe)
Nimejaribu bila ya wewe, Sijawahi weza (I have never made it without you)
Nakuhitaji leo Baba niguse (I need you to touch me Father)
(Chorus)
Mambo mengi, uliyonitendea (You’ve done a lot for me)
Ndio maana leo nakuomba (That is why today I pray)
Utende kwa wengine (That you touch others) (x2)
Nimeuona mkono wako (I have seen your hand)
Unapowagusa wengine, niguse leo (As you touch others, touch me)
Ulivyonigusa, gusa na Baba yule, (As you touch me, touch that man)
Gusa mama yule, gusa kijana yule (touch that woman, and that youth)
(Chorus)
Moyo wangu, gusa moyo wangu (My soul, touch my soul)…c7Ovw4eXTjE
Why, must Jesus go to Calvary?
Why, must Jesus bear the cross for all?
Why, must Jesus die for me and you?
Cuz I know that I am the one deserving to die for my sins
So why? Why?
Why? Why, must Jesus go to Calvary?
Why, must Jesus bear the cross for all?
Cuz we have sinned and fallen short of the glory of the Lord
So why? Why?
Why, I want to know why?
He didn’t have to die
It could have been me
It should have been me.
Why? Why?
Jesus had to die (Why? Why?)
I know that I am a sinner
But he didn’t have to die for me (Why? Why?)
I’m the one, I’m the one who deserves to die (Why? Why?)
(Oh Why? Why?, Why? Why?)
For God so loved the world that he gave his only son
That whosoever believeth in him shall not perish (Why? Why?)
Why? Oh Why? (Repeat)
He didn’t have to die; I fell short of the glory of the Lord
For my sins (I love) He didn’t have to die (I love)
But I’m so glad he did (Oh My God, My God)
I don’t know why Jesus loves me (I love)
I don’t know why He cares (I love)
But I’m so glad He did, (oh My God) I’m so glad (My God)
