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


(Sung in Swahili)

Ee Baba yangu naja mbele zako, naomba amani
(Oh my Father I come before you, I’m praying for peace)
Maana nimeitafuta amani, lakini sipati
(Because I have searched for it, But I can’t get it)
Nizungukapo na majaribu mbalimbali, ninakuamini
(When I go through different temptations, I believe you)
Ya kwamba nikulilia wewe, tanipa amani
(That if I cry unto you, you’ll grant me peace)
Mali na nyumba na magari makubwa, hayana amani
(Wealth, houses and big cars, they don’t have peace)
Yananipa kusononeka kwa moyo, naomba amani
(They give me worries, so I pray for peace)
Nanyenyekea mbele zako Mungu wangu, naomba amani
(I humble myself before you my God, And pray for peace)
Na sina shaka wewe utanipa, nina shauku
(I have no doubt that you will grant me, I have faith)

Chorus:
Baba utizame moyo wangu, nipe amani
(Father search my heart, and grant me peace) x4

Wakati mume amekuwa kigeugegu, mama usilie
(When your husband has turned on you, Mother don’t cry)
Maana Yesu hatakugeuka, yeye akupenda
(Because Jesus will never turn on you, he loves you)
Licha na uchungu uliyo nayo moyoni, mtizame Baba
(Despite the pain you have in your heart, look unto God)
Mwambie yote utakayo atimize, yeye akujali
(Tell him everything you need, He cares for you)
Ulezi wa wana hata elimu, yeye atakupa
(Care of children even education, He’ll grant you)
Omba nguvu upige magoti baba, mwambie akupe amani
(Get on your knees and pray for strength, tell God to grant you peace)

(Chorus)

Ee mama mjane naelewa unavyo hisi, moyo unauma
(To you widow I understand how you feel, you’re heart broken)
Baada ya mumeo kufa mama, huna pa kwenda
(After your husband died, you have nowhere to go)
Wakweza wamekufukuza mbali, wewe huna nyumba
(Your in-laws have chased you away, you have no home)
Marupurupu ya mumeo kazini, wataka nyakua
(Your husbands work benefits, they want to steal from you)
Usilie mama Mungu anaona, naye akujali
(Don’t cry mother – God sees, and he cares for you)
We piga magoti inua mikono, Omba Baba amani
(Get on your knees, lift your hands, and pray to God for peace)

(Chorus)

Chorus:
Akisema atakubarik hakuna atakayezuia
(If he says He will bless you, no one will prevent it)
Kwani yeye ndiye Mungu mwenye baraka zote
(For He is the God with all the blessings)
Akisema atakubarik hakuna atakayezuia
(If he says He will bless you, no one will prevent it)
Kwani yeye ndiye Mungu mwenye baraka zote
(For He is the God with all the blessings)

Akisema atakubariki, wala usitie shaka
(If He says He will bless You, do not orry)
Kwani yeye ndiye Mungu mwenye baraka zote
(For He is the God with all the blessings)
Mipango yake ya ajabu, tena haibadiliki
(His plans are amazing, and they do not change)
Akisema atakuinua, ndiye mwenye kuinua
(If He says he will lift You, He is the lifter)
Akisema atakupa mtoto, katika umri wowote
(If He says He will give you a child, at any age)
Aliwapa Sara na Ana, lipi asiloweza
(He gave to Sarah and Hannah, What can He not do?)

(Chorus)

Akisema atakubariki, watoto wako waelimike
(If He says He will bless you, your children to be educated)
Wapate na shahada nyingi, hakuna atakayezuia
(To get a lot of degrees, no one can prevent it)
Akisema utapona, hakuna atakayezuia
(If He says you will be healed, no one can prevent it)
Mama aliyetokwa na damu alipona na kazi(?) yake
(For He healed the woman with the issue of blood)
Akisema atakubariki, hakuna atakayezuia
(If He says He will bless you, no one will prevent it)
Atalinda afya yako, maana yeye ndiye mwenye afya
(He will care for your health, for He is the one who gives it)

(Chorus)

Watembelea miguu, hata baisikeli huna
(You trek on foot, you do not own even a bicycle)
Akisema uendeshe Musso, kesho utaendesha
(If He says you will drive a Musso, tomorrow you will drive it)
Waishi nyumba ya matope, huna hata mavazi
(You live in a house made in mud, you do not even have clothing)
Akisema atakubariki, majirani watashangaa
(If He says He will bless you, even your neighbors will be amazed)
Akisema atakuinua, mbele ya adui zako
(If He says He will lift You, before your enemies)
Atakuandalia meza ule unywe wakitizama
(He will prepare a table for you to eat and drink as they look on)

(Chorus)

Refrain:
Bwana asema, amenipanda mimi
(The Lord has said, that He has planted me)
Kando ya mito yenye maji mengi
(Near the source of many waters) (Repeat)

Ni Bwana alonipanda, kwa mikono yake Baba
(It is the Lord that has planted my with his hands)
Kando ya mito yenye rehema na baraka
(Next to the source of mercy and blessings )
Kunipalilia Baba, sikosi mbolea maji
(The Lord has weeded me, I do not lack fertilizer or water)
Naishi nikiamini, siwezi nyauka nimepandwa ee
(I live believing that I will not wither, for I have been planted)

(Refrain)

Kweli Baba wa rehema, amenipanda mimi (Truly the Lord of Mercy has planted me)
Baraka zanifuata kokote niendako (Blessings follow me wherever I go)
Amenipa uhai, akalinda afya yangu (He has given me life, and protected my health)
Ndiposa nashuhudia, sifa alozipanda Mungu wangu (This is why I testify, praising my God who has planted me)

(Refrain)

Imani ya wokovu, Hushinda majaribu
(Faith of salvation, has victory over trials)
Hiyo ni baadhi ya mito nilopandwa kwayo
(This are some of the sources of waters that I am planted to)
Mambo yangu yote baba, hupanga kwa utaratibu
(All my affairs have been deliberately planted)
Kwa maana anijali, aliyenipanda Mungu wangu wee
(For He cares for me, the God who has planted me)

(Refrain)

Hakuna juu mbinguni, wala chini duniani
(There is none in heaven, or on earth below)
Anayeshinda Mungu muumba mpanzi wangu
(That defeats God, my creator, my planter)
Hunizunguka mimi, kwa damu ya mwanao
(He surrounds me, with the Blood of His Son)
Hunilinda vyema, sipati madhara kwani nimepandwa ee
(He defends me well, I am not harmed for I have been planted)

(Refrain)
