(Sung in Swahili)

E mungu wangu mimi ninatukushukuru (O my God I will thank you)
Mbele ya mataifa mimi nitaimba (Before the nations I will sing)
Dunia nzima nayo itambue hilo (All the world to know that)
Kwamba jina la yesu pekee ndilo (The name of Jesus alone)
Ulimwengu mzima uokolewe kwalo (that will save the world)

Asubuhi na mapema, mimi nitaimba (Early in the morning, I will sing)
Kabla ya kinywa kunena, kwako nitaimba (Before my mouth speaks, I will sing)
Tufani ijapozidi wo, kwako nitaimba (Though troubles increase, to you I will sing)
Nijapoteswa kabisa, kwako nitaimba (Though I am persecuted, to you I will sing)
Nijapodharauliwa, kwako nitaimba (Though I am hated, to you I will sing)

Chorus:

Swiyi… Sikia e kinanda (Swiyi …. listen you guitar)
Swiyi… Amka we kinubi (Swiyi… rise you flute)
Swiyi… Sikia e kinanda (Swiyi… you listen you guitar)
Inuka e zumari, inuka kwa sauti (Rise you flute, rise aloud) (x2)
Woo na utukuzwe Mungu, Woo na utukuzwe Mungu, (God be praised)
Yee Jehova adonai, Yee Jehova adonai, (Jehova Adonai)
El gibo shalom mungu unaitika (El Gibo Shalom, God you answer)
El gibo shalom mungu unaitika (El Gibo Shalom, God you answer)

Uniondolee majivuno, komesha kiburi (remove my boast, stop my pride)
Utawale akili zangu, Bwana niongoze (rule my thoughts, Lord lead me)
Unifundishe roho yangu habari za mbingu (teach my spirit, the things of heaven)
Sikizeni eh kizazi changu, Mungu anaishi (listen my generation, God lives)
Uniondolee majivuno, komesha kiburi (remove my boast, stop my pride)
Utawale akili zangu, Bwana niongoze (rule my thoughts, Lord lead me)
Unifundishe roho yangu habari za mbingu (teach my spirit, the things of heaven)
Sikizeni eh kizazi changu, Mungu anaishi (listen my generation, God lives)

(Chorus)

NIpe moyo ya nyama, ulopondeka (Give me heart of flesh, that is teachable)
Moyo uliotulia, na unyeyekevu (a peaceful and humble heart)
Mimi si kitu kwako, ni mdhuru? tu (I am nothing but dust to you)
Mimi ni kama nani, uniinue (who am I that you should raise me?)
Unifinyange bwana, kama upendavyo (Mould me Lord, the way you like)
Unifundishe Bwana kama upendavyo (Teach me Lord, the way you like)

(Chorus)

NIkikuita mungu, unaitika (When I call you God, you answer)
Rohi eloie heika (?), noishikimu (…Hebrew (?))
Jira el shadai, Jehova oseenu(…Hebrew (?))
El elyo shammah, Mungu unaitika (…, God you answer)
Jehova shabbah, Mungu utanijibu (Jehova Shabbah, God you will answer me)
El gibo shalom, Mungu unaitika (El gibo Shalom, God you answer)
El gibo shalom, Mungu unaitika (El gibo Shalom, God you answer)
El gibo shalom, Mungu unaitika (El gibo Shalom, God you answer)

Heshima (Respect) Lyrics by Annastazia Mukabwa And Rose Muhando

3 Comments



(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Wanaokudharau siku moja watakusalimia kwa heshima
(Those who despise you, one day will greet you with respect)
(repeat)

Mateso yako ni ya muda tu, Mungu akuandalia ushuhuda
(Your troubles are only for a time, God is preparing a testimony for you)
Daudi Alikuwa mchunga kondoo, Mungu akamwinua kuwa mfalme
(David was a shepherd, God lifted him to be a king)
Leo unaitwa ombaomba, kesho utaitwa mbarikiwa
(Today you are called a beggar, tomorrow you will be called blessed)
Licha unatembea kwa miguu, kesho utaendesha gari
(Inspite of walking, tomorrow you will drive a car)

Chorus:
Nasema watakusalimia, kwa heshima (I say they will greet you, with respect)
Watakusalimia, kwa heshima (They’ll greet you with respect)
Wakati wako wako wa kuinuliwa, ukifika (When your time to be lifted, has come)
Watakusalimia, kwa heshima (They will greet you, with respect)
Wakati wako wa kubarikiwa, ukifika (When your time to be blessed, arrives)
Watakusalimia, kwa heshima (They’ll greet you with respect)
Wakati wako wa kukumbukwa, ukifika (When your time to be remembered arrives)
Watakusalimia, kwa heshima (They’ll greet you with respect)

Wanaosema hautaolewa, watashuhudia ndoa yako
(Those who say you will not be married, will witness your wedding)
Pale utakapovalishwa pete, watashikwa na kigugumizi
(When you are given a ring, they will be speechless)
Wanaosema wewe ni tasa, watakuona ukinyonyesha
(Those who say you are barren, will see you breastfeeding)
Na Mungu alimkumbuka Sara, hata wewe utakumbukwa
(God remembered Sarah, he will remember you as well)

(Chorus)

Wakuu wa Mungu wetu ni Ebeneza, hata sasa yupo
(Our great God is Ebenezer, even now he is here)
Msaada wetu wa karibu, mwite ataitika
(Our close help, call him and He’ll answer)

Jifunze kuwa na subira, utafanikiwa
(Teach yourself to be patient, and you will succeed)
Sana siku sio gani mama, atakuinua
(Not for much longer mother, he’ll lift you up)
Ona leo wanakuita kikaragosi, kesho watakuita bosi
(Look today they call you useless, tomorrow they’ll call you boss)
Aliyekunyima kadi za harusi, kesho wataomba shela yako
(Those who denied you an invitation, tomorrow will beg for crumbs)
Ona leo wanakupiga kibuti, kesho watakupigia saluti
(Today they kick you out, tomorrow they’ll salute you)

Watakusalimia, kwa heshima (They’ll greet you with respect)
Watakupigia magoti, ukifika (They’ll kneel before you, when you arrive)
Watakusalimia, kwa heshima (They’ll greet you with respect)
Walikuona ukilala jalani, ukifika (They saw you sleeping on rubbish, when you arrive)
Kesho watakupata ofisini, kwa heshima (Tomorrow they’ll find you in your office with respect)
Watakusalimia, ukifika (They’ll greet you when you arrive)
Watakusalimia, kwa heshima (They’ll greet you with respect)
Watakupigia saluti, watakusalimia kwa heshima.
(They’ll salute you, they’ll greet you with respect)

Tabu zangu (My Troubles) lyrics by Rose Muhando & Annastazia Mukabwa

(Sung in Swahili)

Haleluya naitazamia mbingu mpya na nchi mpya
(Halelujah I look to the new heaven and earth)
Huko nitapumzika milele (There I will rest forever)

Taabu zangu zikiisha, nitamwona Bwana wangu
(When my troubles are over, I will see my Lord)
Akinikaribisha kule, karibu upumzike
(When he welcomes me there, “welcome to the rest”)
Hapa ndipo nyumbani kwako, hapa ndipo mahali pako
(“Here is your home, this is your place”)
Hapa ndipo makao yako, karibu upumzike
(This is your home, welcome to the rest)

Haleluya nitaketi kwa furaha, nitapumzika kwa mungu, nitapumzika
(Halelujah I will sit with joy, I will rest with my God, I will rest)

Nitavikwa mavazi meupe, nitavikwa taji ya ushindi
(I will be clothed with white garments, I will be crowned victorious)
Taabu zote na mateso yote, hakika vitakoma
(All my troubles and tribulations, will end for sure)
Nitaungana na malaika, maserafi na makerubi
(I will join with the angels, the Seraphim and Cherubim)
Tukiimba nyimbo za ushindi, haleluya usifiwe
(While we sing songs of victory, Halelujah be praised)

Naona mbingu zimefunguka, na Yesu yu mkono wa kuume
(I see the heavens open, and Jesus sitting at the right hand)
Akinitazama kwa upole, kwa macho yenye huruma
(Looking at me with compassionate eyes) x2

Tatazama vidonda vyangu, tatazama makovu yangu
(He will take care of my wounds, He will take care of my scars)
Niloumizwa duniani, na watu wa ulimwengu
(That I was hurt in the world, by the worldly) x2

Tachukua kitambaa, atanifuta machozi
(He will take a cloth, and wipe my tears)
Akisema pole mwanangu, Yesu tanikumbatia
(Saying I’m sorry my child, Jesus will embrace me)

Bado kitambo kidogo, nitapumzika
(Just for a little while, then I will rest)

Yesu atanipeleka, kwenye kijito cha uhai
(Jesus will take me, to the wellspring of life)
Huko taniosha mwili wangu, nitapewa mwili mpya
(There he will wash my body, and be given a renewed one)
Nami nitaimba hosana, hosana ndiye mbarikiwa
(And I will sing Hosannah, Hosannah is the blessed one)
Nitaruka kama ndama, milele hata milele
(I will jump like a calf , forevermore) x2

Tavumilia, kwa ajili yako Baba
(I will persevere for your sake father)

Yatosha walivyokuonea, Yatosha walivyokudhulumu
(Enough of the oppression, enough of the persecution)
Yatosha walivyokupiga, karibu upumzike
(Enough of the beating, welcome and rest) x2

Yatosha walivyokuudhi, Yatosha walivyokutukana
(Enough of the hurt, enough of the insults)
Yatosha walivyokuzomea, karibu upumzike
(Enough of the rebukes, welcome and rest) x2

Haleluya, mateso yangu yakiisha nitauona uso wa Mungu
(Hallelujah, when my persecutions end, I will see the face of God)
Nitamwona Yesu niliyepigwa kwa ajili yake
(I will see the Jesus I was beaten because)

Yatosha walivyokuonea, Yatosha walivyokudhulumu
(Enough of the oppression, enough of the persecution)
Yatosha walivyokupiga, karibu upumzike
(Enough of the beating, welcome and rest) x2

Yatosha walivyokuudhi, Yatosha walivyokutukana
(Enough of the hurt, enough of the insults)
Yatosha walivyokuzomea, karibu upumzike
(Enough of the rebukes, welcome and rest) x2

Yesu atanipeleka, kwenye kijito cha uhai
(Jesus will take me to the wellspring of life)
Huko taniosha mwili wangu, nitapewa mwili mpya
(There he will wash my body, I will be given a new one)

Baada ya taabu, ni furaha
(After troubles is joy)

Unitetee (Defend Me) Lyrics by Upendo Nkone

Leave a comment



(Sung in Swahili)

Unitetee, unitetee, Bila wewe siwezi unitetee
(Defend me, defend me, without you I cannot so defend me)
Unitetee, unitetee, Bila wewe siwezi unitetee mwokozi wangu
(Defend me, without you I cannot, so defend me my saviour)

Umenituma kufanya kazi yako Baba (You have sent me to do your work Father)
Wengine wanaleta vipingamizi Baba (Others have opposed me Father)
Bila wewe siwezi, unitetee (Without you I can’t, defend me)
Kwa vile ni wewe umenituma Baba (Because you have sent me Father)
Njoo ufanye kazi pamoja nami (Come and work with me)
Pasipo wewe siwezi unitetee mwokozi wangu (Without you I can’t, defend me my saviour)

(Chorus)

Mwengine kiuchumi amekwama Baba (Another is stuck economically)
Magonjwa nayo yamemzunguka Yesu (Illness has surrounded him too Jesus)
Nyosha mkono wako Ee Baba umtetee (Stretch your hand Oh Father and defend him)
Kwa kuwa wewe ndiwe mponyaji (Because you are the healer)
Na tena wewe ndiwe wa baraka Baba (And you are the one with the blessings)
Naomba nikuone Baba, umtetee Mwokozi wangu (Let me see you I pray, Defend him my saviour)

(Chorus)

Na huyu naye yupo kwenye matatizo (This other person is in trouble)
Mali zake amedhulumiwa (He is wronged even in his possessions)
Amebaki hana kitu, Yesu umtetee (He has remained destitute, Jesus defend him)
Najua wewe ni Mungu wa wanaoonewa (I know you are the God of the oppressed)
Kufa kuwapa haki zao Baba (Father grant them their rights)
Bila wewe hawataweza, uwatetee Baba (Without you they cannot, defend them Father)

Wengine wamefungwa gerezani (Others have been jailed)
Kwa makosa ya kusingiziwa Yesu (Because of false accusations Jesus)
Wewe ni hakimu wa kweli eh, uwapiganie (You are the true judge, fight for them)
Zitazame pia nchi zenye vita (Look at the countries at war)
Amani hakuna wanauana ovyo(They kill each other and have no peace)
Wewe ndiwe Mungu wa wote Yesu uwatetee Mungu mwenye nguvu
(You are God over all, Jesus you are a mighty God – defend them)

(Chorus) – “Defend them…”

Mapito yangu Baba ni magumu sana (My path is hard Father)
Mambo mengi yaumiza roho yangu (Many things grieve my heart)
Bila wewe siwezi unitetee (Without I cannot, defend me)
Kwa kuwa wewe Yesu ulishinda (Because you conquered all Jesus)
Na mimi pia nitashinda (And I shall also overcome)
Bado ninakaza mwendo ee Yesu unitetee, unitie nguvu
(I am still pressing on, Jesus defend me, strengthen me)

(Chorus)

Watu wangu waangamia,taifa langu la Israeli(My nation Israel is perishing)
Watu wangu wanasononeka,watu wangu wanateseka(My people are desolate and desperate)
Nataka nikutumie wewe, ukaokoe taifa langu we(I want to use you to rescue my nation)

Hata leo mungu anena nasi hicho kiatu we(Even today God tells us to remove that shoe)

Mimi sitaki uangamie, mimi sitaki upotee(I don’t want you to perish or to lose you)
Mimi sitaki uangamie, maana mimi ninakujali(I don’t want you to perish because I care)
Mimi Mungu ni wa neema, mimi mungu ni wa upendo(I am the God of grace, God of love)

Kiatu cha nyumba ndogo, kiatu cha ulevi

Mungu ananena nawe hicho kiatu kivue
(God is telling you to remove that shoe (Take it off)
Mungu anena nawe hicho kiatu kivue
