Leave a comment


(Sung in Kiswahili)

Nafsi yangu, zaidi yatamani maskani yako (My soul longs yearns for your courts)
Mungu mwenye enzi (Almighty God)
Moyo wangu na mwili huu (My heart and this flesh)
Wakulilia ee Mungu (Cries out for You oh God)
Jua langu, Ngao yangu (My sun, my shield)
Wanipa neema na utukufu (You grant me grace and glory)
Hakuna kitu chema (There is no good thing)
Wewe wanyima watafutao uso wako (That you withhold from those who seek your face)

Refrain:
Kama ayala, aionavyo kiu (As the deer pants for water)
Ndivyo nafsi yangu yakutamani (So my soul pants for You) (Repeat)

(From the Top)

Naweka moyo kweye hija (I have set my heart on a pilgrimage)
Bonde la kilio nitapita (I shall pass through the valley of tears)
Naweka moyo kweye hija (I have set my heart on a pilgrimage)
Sayuni kwako nisimame (Until I stand in Your Zion) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Nimekukimbilia, chemichemi ya uzima (I have run to you, Fountain of life) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Jehovah Shalom/Nissi/El Shaddai/Adonai
Hakuna kama wewe

Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!
Mungu wangu mkuu, Umeketi juu sana (My great God, you’re enthroned high)
Zaidi ya jua, utukufu wako wang’aa (Your glory brighter than the sun)
Wazee 24 wainama na kuinuka (24 four elders bow in worship)
Masaa 24 wakisema mtakatifu (For 24 fours saying you are holy)

Nami leo naimba, u mwaminifu (Today I sing, you are faithful)
Nami leo nasifu, nakuabudu (Today I praise, I worship you)

Refrain:
Wewe ni Mungu haulinganishwi (You are a God that cannot be compared)
Na yeyote (With anyone)
Wewe ni Bwana haufananishwi (You’re a Lord that cannot be compared)
Na yeyote (To anyone) (Repeat)

Ee Yesu! Ee Yesu! Ee Yesu! Ee Yesu! (Oh Jesus!)
Mwana wa Mungu, umeinuliwa (The son of God, you have been lifted)
Zaidi wa wote wewe ni mfalme (Higher than all kings)
Waondoa giza kila uingiapo (You remove darkness wherever you enter)
Macho yako yang’aa ni kama moto (Your eyes glow like fire)
Kwa damu yako, tumesamehewa (By your blood we are forgiven)
Sawa na utajiri wa neema yako (According to the measure of your grace)

Nami leo naimba, nakuabudu (And today I sing, I worship you)
Nami leo nasifu, uaminifu wako (And today I praise your faithfulness)

(Refrain)

Bridge:
Mwanga wangu, mwokozi wangu (My light, my saviour)
Mwokovu wangu, mtetezi wangu (My salvation, my redeemer)
Mwanga wangu, mwokozi wangu (My light, my saviour)
Ngome imara, kwako tumesimama (My refuge, I stand in you)

(Refrain)

Refrain: Tumsifu Bwana (Praise the Lord)
Enzi ni pake (Dominion is his)
Amejawa na rehema (He is full of mercy)
Njoni tumwimbie (Come let us sing to Him)
Ametuokoa Yesu (He has saved us)
Ameturehemu (For he has redeemed us)
Ametufilia Yesu (He died for Us)
Jehova anatupenda (Jehovah loves us)
Tuinue mikono yetu (Let us lift our hands)
Kwa shangwe na vigelele…. (With praise)
Yeye bado anaponya/aokoa…(He still heals/saves)…
