2 Comments


(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn)

Ni tabibu wa karibu (The great Physician now is near)
Tabibu wa ajabu (The sympathizing Physician)
Na rehema za daima (And with His everlasting Mercy)
Ni dawa yake njema (Is His )

Refrain:
Imbeni, malaika (Sweetest note in seraph song)
Sifa za Yesu Bwana (Sweetest Name on mortal tongue)
Pweke limetukuka (Sweetest carol ever sung)
Jina lake Yesu (The Name of Jesus)

Hatufai kuwa hai (We are not supposed to be alive)
Wala hatutumai (Neither have hope)
Ila kweli yeye ndiye (But in only in Him)
Atupumzishaye (Do we find our rest)

Dhambi pia na hatia (All our sins and guilt)
Ametuchukulia (He has forgiven us all)
Twendeni na amani (Let us go our way in peace)
Hata kwake Mbinguni (Until His Heaven)

Huliona tamu jina (How sweet is the Name)
La Yesu Kristo Bwana (Of Jesus Christ our Lord)
Yuna sifa mwenye kufa (He has praise the one who died)
Asishindwe na kufa (Who defeated death)

Kila mume asimame (Every man should stand)
Sifa zake zivume (So His praises may spread)
Wanawake na washike (The women too should continue)
Kusifu jina lake (To praise His Holy Name)

(Sung in Swahili)

Repeat: Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)
Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)
Kwa ajili yako mimi naishi, Baba (Because of you I’m alive)
Pasipo wewe singekuwepo, Baba eh (Without you I would not be here)
Mimi ni kazi ya mikono yako, Baba (I am the work of your hands)

Baba ninaona, nikuabudu (Father I prefer to worship you)
Maana matendo yako, ni mengi sana (Because your works are many)
Ishara zako Baba, ni nyingi mno (Your signs are many)
Maana, wewe ndiwe Mungu wangu (Because you are my God)
Uliniumba, niseme matendo yako (You created me to tell of your actions)
Wewe ndiwe, Mungu wa miungu we (You are the God of gods)
Wewe kimbilio letu, na ngome yetu (You are our fortress and help)
Hakuna aliye kama wewe (There is no one like you)

(Refrain)

Maneno ya kusema yananikosa ( I am lost for words)
Nilipoachwa na mama, ukawa mama kwangu (When my mother left me, You became my mother)
Ukampa Baba nguvu ya kunilea (You gave my father the strength to raise me)
Nilipokosa maziwa, ukanilisha (When I did not find milk, You fed me)
Nilipolia usiku na mchana, ulikuwa nami (When I cried day and night, You were with me)
Kukuwa kwangu ilikuwa ndoto, ndiyo maana nasimama nikuabudu, eh (My growth was a dream, that is why I stand here worshiping You)
Ebenezer

Repeat: Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)
Ninasema uliniumba (I say You created me)
Wewe ni nuru ya maisha yangu, Baba (You are the light of my life, Father)
Wewe ni mwanga wa imani yangu, Baba (You are the light of my faith, Father)
Kwa huruma yako mimi niko hai (It is by Your Mercies that I am alive)
Umeokoa familia yangu (You have saved my family)
Umenilinda toka utotoni (You have taken care of me from childhood)
Umenipa sauti nikuimbie, Baba (And gave me a song to sing to You, Father)

We nd’o maisha yangu, Baba (Father, You are my life)
Hallelujah
Oh, Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)
Oh, Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)
Oh, Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)

(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn)

Sioni haya kwa Bwana (I’m not ashamed of my Lord)
Kwake nitang’ara (In him I will be glorified)
Mti wake sitakana (I will not deny His Tree)
Ni neno imara (It  is the true word)

Refrain:
Msalaba ndio asili ya mema (The Cross the beginning of good)
Nikatua mzigo hapo (I will rest my burdens there)
Nina uzima, furaha daima (I have life, and everlasting joy)
Njoni kafurahini papo (Come, let us be joyful there)

Kama kiti chake vivyo (Just like His throne)
Ni yake ahadi (Are His promises)
Alivyowekewa navyo (That he has been given)
Kamwe, havirudi (That will never be in vain)

(Refrain)

Bwana wangu, tena Mungu (My Lord, and god)
Ndilo lake jina (That is His name)
Hataacha roho yangu (He will not abandon my spirit)
Wala kunikana (Neither will He forsake me)

(Refrain)

Atakiri langu jina (Then will he own my worthless name)
Mbele za Babaye (Before his Father’s face)
Anipe pahali tena (Appoint my soul a place)
Mbinguni nikae (In the new Jerusalem)

(Languages: Swahili, Lingala)

Umbali tumetoka, na mahali tumefika
(Thus far we have come from, and where we are now)
Ndio maana ninatambua, kwamba wewe ni Ebeneza
(It is why I confess, that you are Ebenezer (have brought us thus far))
Sio kwa uwezo wangu,ila ni kwa uwezo wako
(It is not because of my might, but by Your Power)
Mahali nimefika, acha nikushukuru
(Thus far I have reached, let me thank you)
EE Bwana umenisaidia, nifike mahali nimefika
(Oh Lord you have helped me, to reach where I am)
Maana wewe ni ebeneza, maishani mwangu oo
(Lord you are the Ebenezer in my life)

Refrain:
Mi nataka Ebeneza, nijengwe juu yako
(I want to be built on Your foundation, Ebenezer)
Mi nataka Ebeneza, uwe msingi wangu
(I want you Ebenezer to be my foundation)
Jiwe langu la thamani, nakutamani sana
(My precious rock, I desire you so much)
Jiwe langu la pembeni, nakuhitaji sana
(My cornerstone, I need you so much)
Oo Ebeneza, jiwe langu (Oh Ebenezer, my Rock of Ages)

(Refrain)

Ebeneza na nga (My Ebenezer)
Libanga na ngai ya talo (My Precious Stone)
Oleki diamant mpe wolo papa eh, kati na bomoyi na ngai
(You are worth more than diamonds and gold, Father, in my life)
Nzambe nakumisi yo (Lord, I praise You)
Moko te akokani na yo, o (No one compares to You)
Wsika nakomi lelo Yawe, ezali nse na makasi na yo
(It is thanks to You that I am where I am today)
