Rain Rwanda, Swahili Gospel Lyrics , , , Leave a comment


(Sung in Kiswahili)

Atakaye kuwa na wema (Whoever wants to have Goodness)
Ahitajie kuheshimiwa (The one who desires respect)
Basi aende ayatafute kwa (Then let them go and seek it by)
Kutenda mema bila kusita (Doing good deeds without hesitation)
Asiyajali macho ya watu (Let them not care about people’s eyes)
Maana yao sio muhimu (For their opinion are not important)
Bali ajali jina nimuitalo (But let them care about the name I call them)
Kwani mi ni Mungu aliyemuumba (For I am the God who created them) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Ninayajua yangu malengo (For I know the plans I have for you)
Ni mema sio mabaya (Are to prosper you and not harm you)
Ili niwape matumaini ya siku zijazo (To give you hope and a future)
Nawapenda (I love them)
Wambieni wenye huzuni (Spread the news to the sorrowful)
Tulizeni wenye majelaha (Comfort those who are wounded)
Wambieni waje waone (Tell them to come and see)
Tuna Mungu mwingi wa upendo (We have a God full of love)
Alitukuta tukigagaa dhambini akatutoa (He found us struggling in sin and rescued us)
Katuosha na kutusafisha (He washed us and cleansed us)
Akatuahidi uzima wa milele (And promised us eternal life)

Simameni kwenye mnara, (Stand on the tower)
usubiri ntakacho kisema (Wait for what I will say)
Zizuieni sauti za muovu (Silence the voice of the wicked)
Na upende kuwa mwenye haki (And love to be righteous)
Nenda omba tena uombe (Go pray and pray again)
Tofautisha kuomba kwako (Vary your prayers)
Maana hapo nitakuokoa (For there is where I will save you)
Nitaoa jeshi kubwa kwa ajili yako (I will raise a great army for you)

Nenda omba tena uombe (Go pray and pray again)
Tofautisha kuomba kwako (Vary your prayers)
Maana hapo nitakuokoa (For there is where I will save you)
Nitaoa jeshi kubwa kwa ajili yako (I will raise a great army for you)

(Refrain)

Wambieni wenye huzuni (Spread the news to the sorrowful)
Tulizeni wenye majelaha (Comfort those who are wounded)
Wambieni waje waone (Tell them to come and see)
Tuna Mungu mwenye wa upendo (We have a God full of love)  (Repeat)

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Refrain:
Nimezikumbuka, siku za kale (I have remembered the days of old)
Na kunyooshea mikono yangu, Bwana (I stretch out my hands to You, Lord)
Usifiwe (Be praised)
Nimeyatafakari, matendo yako (I have meditated on Your works)
Nashangaa tena, ni tamu sana (I marvel again how sweet it is)
Kuwa na wewe (To be with You)
Uliyatatua, yote magumu (You solved all the difficult things)
Nakosa usemi, moyo unatosheka (I lack words, my heart is satisfied) (Repeat) 

Katika milima na mabonde, (Through the mountains and the valleys)
Ulitembea nami  (You walked with me)
Hata tanuri ya moto, haikunigusa, gusa kamwe (Even the fiery furnace did not ever touch me)
Nitatunza ahadi yako, rohoni mwangu (I will keep Your promise in my spirit)
Ili nisisahau kamwe (So that I may never forget)
Uliyoyatenda maishani mwangu (The things You have done in my life)
Haya yatakuwa mema (These will be the Good that)
Niyatangazie wote (I will proclaim them to everyone)
Nikumbukapo nitapaza, paza sauti nikuimbie (When I remember, I will raise my voice in praise)

(Refrain)

Ulikonitoa nashukuru (I am thankful for how far You’ve brought me)
Nakushukuru, asante Baba (I’m grateful, Thank You Father)
Habari ipo natosheka (My testimony remains, I am satisfied)
Nakushukuru, asante Baba  (I’m give thanks, Thank You Father) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Rain Rwanda, Swahili Gospel Lyrics , , , , Leave a comment


(Sung in Kiswahili)

Ewe mwenyezi (Oh almighty)
Uchunguze roho ya mtumishi wako bwana (Investigate the heart of Your servant Lord)
Unitengeneze (Mould me)
Unifanye chombo cha thamani nyumbani kwako (Make me a worthy vessel in Your House)
Maana ulipo (For where You are)
Ndipo ninapotamani kuishi siku zote (I desire to live all my days) (Repeat)

Unigeukie, nione uso wako (Turn to me, that I may see Your face)
Ijaze mafu-ta, ulionipa (Fill up the oil you poured to me)
Unirudishie furaha yako (Restore unto me Your joy)
Furaha tele, ya wokovu! (Abundant joy of salvation) (Repeat)

Nipe kuchukia (Grant me to detest)
Tabia zote za siri nizidi kuwa nawe (Secret behaviors, that I may be with You)
Uniondolee (Remove from me)
Dhambi zote zinaponitenga na uwepo wako (All sins that separate me from Your presence)
Nihamasishie (Inspire in me)
Kufanana na Kristo kwa neno hata majaribuni (To be like Christ in word and against temptations)

(Refrain)

Unifanye chombo chako (Make me Your vessel)
Cha shughuli za fahari (Of great purpose)
Unitakase unijaze (Cleanse me, fill me)
Kwa furaha (With joy)
Furaha tele, ya wokovu! (The abundant joy of salvation!) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Hata kama dhambi zingekuwa nyekundu (Even if the sins are like blood)
Waweza kabisa kunisafisha (You can cleanse me completely)
Japo kuamini mnyonge na mpweke (Though my faith is faint and lonely)
Ulinipa nafasi nyingine (You granted me another chance)

Rain Rwanda, Swahili Gospel Lyrics , 1 Comment


(Sung in Kiswahili)

Kutakuwa milima haitaondolewa (There will be mountains that will not be removed)
Kutakuwa na mito, na sitaweza kuvuka (There will be rivers I cannot cross)
Sio kila ombi, litajibiwa nipendavyo (It is not all prayers, that will be answered as I ask)
Sio kila wimbo, utakaotuliza moyo (Not every song, will calm my spirit)

Nimekupata, nina mtetezi (I have found You, I have an Advocate)
Unionyeshe, njia zako (Show me Your Ways)
Nikujue (That I may know You)

Refrain:
Ikiwa nimepata neema kwako, unikumbuke (If I have found favor in Your eyes, remember me)
Jicho lako liwe juu yangu nyakati zote (Your eye to be on me all the time)
Wema wako unisindikize, hadi tamati (Your Goodness escort me, until the end)
Hili ni ombi langu, nakumwagia moyo (This is my prayer, I pour my heart to You)
N’nachoomba kaa nami, ikiwa nimepata neema kwako
(I pray that you abide with me, if I have found Grace before You)

(From the Top)

Kumbuka hayo mema niwaombeayo, wanaonifurahia (Remember the good I pray for those who rejoice with me)
Maadui zangu nao, uwape kukujua (And to my enemies, let them know You)
Uwabariki kwa utele, uwanyeshee mvua (Bless them to overflowing, pour Your rain on them)
Yamkini watapata kuona, wapumue upendo (So that they may see you, and breathe love)
Tunaoshiriki hii huduma, uwape uamsho
(The ones we serve in this ministry, grant them Your revival)
Uwabariki kwa utele, Baba wala isishie
(Bless them to overflowing, Father–that it would be forever)
Tunaoshiriki hii huduma, uwape uamsho
(The ones we serve in this ministry, grant them Your revival)
Uwabariki kwa utele, Baba wala isishie
(Bless them to overflowing, Father–that it would be forever)(Repeat)

(Refrain)

Kwa maswali na majibu (In times of questions and answers)
Umasikini utajiri (In poverty and riches)
Usumbufu utulivu (In troubles and peaceful times)
Ewe Mwokozi kaa nami! (Oh Savior, abide with me!)
Kwa kupanda kwa kushuka (In rising and falling)
Habari za kuvunja moyo (In heartbreaking news)
Kwa uzushi na uongo (In heresies and lies)
Ewe Mwokozi kaa nami! (Oh Savior, abide with me!) (Repeat)

(Refrain)
