Refrain:
Ufanye imara, agano (Fulfill your covenant)
Ufanye imara, agano (Fulfill your covenant)
Eh Bwana (Oh Lord)

Ufanya hima, na agano (Make haste with the Covenant)
Nami, ewe Bwana (With me, Lord)

‘tangulie Bwana (Go before me Lord)
Tengeneza palipo paruzwa (Prepare a path before me)
Oh Bwana, nisaidie (Oh Lord, help me)

(Refrain)

Kama ulivyo tembea nami (As You have walked with me)
Tembea na wana wa wanangu (Walk with the children of my children)
Kama ulivyo nibariki (As You have blessed me)
Bariki na uzao wangu (Bless my offspring)
Kama ulivyo nilinda (As You have protected me)
Linda na taifa langu (Protect my country)
Kama ulivyo nisimamia (As You have stood by me)
Simamia na kazi ya mikono yangu (Stand over the works of my hands)

Vunja vunja ‘pande (Break apart)
Milango ya shaba (The bronze doors)

Ongoza na kanisa lako (Lead your Church as well)
Kama ulivyo niponya (As You have healed me)
Uponye na nyumba yangu (Heal my house as well)
Kama ulivyo niinua (As You have lifted me)
Inua na uzao wangu (Lift my offspring as well)
Wasiabudu miungu mingine (For them to not worship other gods)
Ila Mungu moja, Jehova (Apart from One God, Jehovah)
Wasitafute nguvu kwingine (For them not to look for strength elsewhere)
Isipo kuwa kwako tu (If not from You only)

(Refrain)

Nipe hazina za gizani (Grant me the treasures of darkness)
Na mali zilizofichwa (And wealth that had been hidden)

(Refrain)

Nikwitaye kwa jina lako (The One I call by Your name)
Mungu wa Israeli (God of Israel)

Divai (Wine) Lyrics by Mercy Masika and Christina Shusho

(Sung in Swahili)

Siku ya tatu, ya harusi ya kana (On the third day in the Wedding at Cana)
Mji wa Galilaya, na mamake Yesu alikuwepo (In the town of Galilee, where Jesus mother was in attendance)
Yesu na yeye alialikwa harusini (Jesus was also a guest at the wedding)
Pamoja na wanafunzi wake (Together with His disciples)
Yesu akamwambia, “mama tuna nini nawe? (Jesus told her “woman, what do I have with You?”)
Kwani saa yangu haijawahi kuwadia” (My time has not yet come”)

Refrain:
Divai ikawaishia, mamake Yesu kamwambia (The wine ran out and Jesus’ mother told Him)
“Hakuna divai, hakuna divai, hakuna divai” (There is no more wine)
Maria akawaambia watumishi (Mary told the attendants)
“Lolote akisema, nyinyi fanyeni” (Whatever He says, you must do)

Repeat: Sintoaibika (I will not be ashamed)
Nikiwa wewe (As long as I am with You)
Mimi na wewe (Me and You)
Nikiwa pamoja na wewe (If I am with You)
Rafiki Yesu (My friend Jesus)
Jehovah Jireh (Lord my Provider)

Katika kila hali, iwe ngumu iwe shwari (In all situation, be it easy or hard)
Mungu husema (God says)
Na akisema, wala habadilishi (And what He says He does not change)
In place of shame, He’ll give you double double
In place of dishonor, He’ll give you everlasting joy
Badala ya aibu, atanipa maradufu dufu (In place of shame, He’ll give you double double)
Kwa utukufu wake, mimi naenjoy (In enjoy His Glory)

(Refrain)

Sintoaibika, sintoaibika (I will not be ashamed)
Sintoaibika, sinto sinto kamwe (I will not be ashamed) (Repeat)

Teta Nao (Contend with Them) Lyrics by Christina Shusho ft The Dreamers

1 Comment


(Sung in Swahili – Psalm 35)

Refrain:
Eh Bwana utete nao wanao teta nami (Oh Lord, contend with those who contend with me)
Upigane nao, wanao pigana nami (Fight those who fight against me)(Repeat)

Ushike ngao na kinga usimame, unisaidie (Take up your shield and armor, arise and come to my aid)
Vuta we mkuki uwapige, wanaonifuatia (Brandish your spear against those who pursue me)
Uambie nafsi yangu mimi ni wokovu wako (Say to me “I am your salvation”)
Uwatoe mkuki uwapige, oh wanao nifuatia (Brandish your javelin, against those who pursue me)
Uambie nafsi yangu “mimi ni wokovu wako” (Say to me “I am your salvation”))
Wananiuliza mambo nisiyoyajua (They question me on things I know nothing about)

(Refrain)

Waaibishwe wafedheheshwe (May they be disgraced and put to shame)
Warudishwe nyuma, wanaotafuta nafsi yangu (May they be dismayed, those who plot my ruin)
Wafadhaishwe, wawe kama makapi (May they be like chaff before the wind)
Mbele yao pepo malaika wa Bwana waangushe chini (With the angel of the Lord driving them away)

Wananilipa mabaya, badala ya mema (They repay me evil for good)
Kutwa kucha waniwinda ili niteseke (All day long, they hunt me so that I suffer)
Niko ndani yako niweke eh Mungu wangu (I am in you, preserve me, Oh my God)
Ubavuni mwako nikumbatie, Jehova wangu (Embrace me to your side, my Jehovah)
Mkononi mwako niweke, eh Mungu wangu (Hold me in your hands, Oh my God)
Ubavuni mwako nikumbatie, Jehova wangu (Embrace me to your side, my Jehovah)

(Refrain)

Njia yao iwe giza na utelezi (May their path be dark and slippery)
Malaika wa Bwana, akiwafuatia (With the angel of the Lord pursuing them)
Uharibifu uwapate kwa ghafla (May ruin overtake them by surprise)
Wa uharibifu waanguke ndani yake (May they fall into the pit they hid)
Mimi bure wasinisemange, bure wasinibonge (That they may not speak against me in vain)
Na uovu wao aloficha umnase mwenyewe (May the evil they hid, catch them)
Bila sababu amenichimbia shimo nafsi yangu (Since without cause they dug a pit for me,)
Mifupa yangu yote itasema (All my bones will exclaim)
“Bwana ni nani aliye kama wewe?” (“Who is like you, Lord?”)
Na nafsi yangu itamfurahia Bwana (Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord)

Wapendeza, Bwana wapendeza (You are exalted, Lord be exalted)
Eh Bwana wapendeza (Oh Lord, be exalted)
Katika hili najua utatenda (In this I know you will do)
Nitetee Bwana nitetee (Defend me Lord, defend me)
Eh Bwana nitetee (Oh Lord, defend me)
Katika hili najua utatenda (In this, I know you will do) (Repeat)

Litapita (It Shall Pass) Lyrics by Christina Shusho

(Sung in Swahili)

Nimeona hofu imetanda dunia (I have seen fear permeate the world)
Hofu imetanda dunia (Fear has filled the world)
Huku na huku mambo yamebadilika (Here and there, things have changed)
Mambo ni tofauti (Matters are different)
Tamaduni zetu si kama mwanzo (Our traditions are not like before)
Si vile tulivyozoea (It is not the way we are used to)
Aliye nacho analia, asiye nacho pia analia (Both the haves and have nots are crying)
Tajiri, masikini tumekuwa sawa (The rich and the poor, we’ve become equals)
Si vile tulivyozoea (It’s not what we are used to)

Refrain:
Hili nalo litapita ee, litapita ee (This too shall pass, it shall pass)
Hili litapita ee, kutapambazuka (This too shall pass, it shall be dawn)
Hili nalo litapita ee, litapita ee (This too shall pass, it shall pass)
Hili litapita ee, asubuhi yaja (This too shall pass, the morning is coming) (Repeat)

No situation is permanent
Nyakati huja na kupita (Seasons come and go)
Watu huja na kuondoka (People come and leave)
Kila kitu chini ya jua kina mwisho (Everything under the sun has an end)
Shida na raha zina mwisho (Troubles and joy have an end)
Yesu pekee atabaki juu (Only Jesus shall remain high)
Neno lake, milele yote (His Word, forevermore)
Yeye tu, hana mwisho (It is only Him that does not have an end)

(Refrain)
