Leave a comment


(Sung in Swahili)

Jina la yesu ngome imara,Mwenye haki hukimbilia kawa salama
The name of Jesus a solid rock, the righteous run to it and they are safe
Macho ya bwana humwelekea, Mwenye haki kilio chake hukisikia
The eyes of the Lord will look to him, he will hear the cry of the righteous

Refrain:
Mateso ya mwenye haki nayo ni mengi,Lakini Bwana humuokoa nayo yote
The troubles of a righteous person are many, but the Lord will save him from all
kama si wewe, kama si wewe Yesu, Umehifadhi nafsi yangu nikutukuze
If it was not for you, if it was not for you Jesus, you have preserved me to praise you

Bwana U karibu na mwenye haki, waliopondeka roho yeye huwahifadhi
Lord you are close to the righteous, You preserve the weak in spirit
Humuifadhi mifupa yake, hukumbuka nafsi za watumishi wake
You preserve his bones, you remember your servants

(Refrain)

Wewe ni Mungu, wewe ni baba, Umehifadhi nafsi yangu nikutukuze
You are my God, you are my father, you have preserved me to worship you
Wewe ni ngome ya maisha yangu, Umehifadhi nafsi yangu nikutukuze
You are my life’s stronghold, you have preserved me to praise you
Sifa zako zi kinywani mwangu, Umehifadhi nafsi yangu nikutukuze
Your praises are on my lips, you have preserved me to worship you
Hafananishwi, hafananishwi Yesu, Umehifadhi nafsi yangu nikutukuze
He is not to be compared, Jesus cannot be compared, you have preserved me to worship you

(Refrain)

Ahadi Zake (His Promises) by Marion Shako

(Sung in Swahili)

Nafsi yangu usichoke, roho yangu msifu Bwana
(My self do not tire, my spirit praise the Lord)
Alihadi atatenda, mtumanie Bwana
(He promised he will do it, trust in the Lord)
Ahadi zake ni za milele, akiahidi atatenda
(His promises are forever, if he promises he will do it)
Roho yangu nafsi yangu, mtumainie Bwana
(My spirit my self, trust in the Lord)

Chorus:
Kama mvua ishukavyo, toka mbinguni kwenye ardhi
(As the rain pours, from heaven on earth)
Na neno lake kwa kinywa chake, halitarudi bure
(So his words from his mouth, will not return in vain)
Litatimiza mapenzi yake, litatenda alivyo sema
(It will accomplish his will,it will do as he says)
Aliahidi atatenda, mtumainie Bwana
(If he promises he will do it, trust in the Lord)

Verse 2:
Mawazo yake sio yetu, njia zake si kama zetu
(His thoughts are not ours, his ways are not like ours)
Mbingu zilivyo juu ya nchi,mawazo yake ni makuu
(As the heavens are above, his thoughts are great)
Ataagiza fadhili zake, wimbo wake kwangu usiku
(He will instruct his mercies, his song to me at night)
Sifadhaike usiiname, mtumainie bwana
(Do not despair do not falter, trust in the Lord)

(Chorus)
