Usifurahi Juu Yangu (Do Not Rejoice Over Me) Lyrics by Upendo Nkone

Leave a comment


(Sung in Swahili)

Usifurahi juu yangu, eh adui yangu (Do not rejoice over me, oh my enemy)
Niangukapo mimi, nitasimama tena (Through I have fallen, I shall stand again)
Kumbuka niwapo gizani, Bwana ni nuru yangu (Remember in darkness, the Lord is my light)
Hawezi kuniacha Bwana, mimi niangamie (He will not abandon me, that I perish) (Repeat)

Si vyema kunisema vibaya, nipatapo tatizo
(It is not good to say bad about me, when I am in trouble)
Shetani wampa nafasi, ndani ya moyo wako
(You give Satan a space, inside your heart)
Kumbuka kwa maombi yako, nitasimama tena
(Remember that through Your prayer, I will stand again)
Na utapata baraka, kutoka kwake Mungu
(And You shall receive blessings from God) (Repeat)

Maana heri mtu yule, ambaye kinywa chake
(Blessed is the one, whose mouth)
Ni kuwabariki wenzake, na kiwaombea
(Blesses others, and prays for them)
Maana maneno mabaya huchafua moyo
(For foul words pollute the heart)
Ukiwekwa mbali na Mungu, ni vyema uwe safi
(When you are placed far from God, it is good to be clean)

Ukiona niko kwenye shida, niombee (If you see me in trouble, pray for me)
Ndoa yangu imevunjika, wewe niombee (My marriage has broken up, pray for me)
Nikifukuzwa kazini, ndugu niombee (If I have been sacked from my job, pray for me)
Magonjwa yananiandama, niombee (Illness pursue me, pray for me)
Biashara haina faida, niombee (My business has no profits, pray for me)
Nikikawia kupata mtoto, niombee (If I am late to get a child, pray for me)
Nimekuwa mtoto yatima, niombee (If I have become an orphan, pray for me)
Ata nijapo kuwa mjane, niombee (Even if I become a widow, pray for me)

Ujue kwa maombi yako, mimi nitasimama tena
(Know that by Your prayer, I shall stand again)
Ujue kwa maombi yako, nitabarikiwa
(Know that it is through Your prayers, that I shall be blessed) (Repeat)

(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Uniongoze, bado nakuhitaji (Guide me, I still need You)
Uniongoze, Yesu kiongozi mwema (Guide me Jesus, the Wise Guide)
Moyo wangu unakuhitaji (My heart needs you)
Niongoze nivuke salama (Guide me to cross safely)
Mungu wangu, uniongoze (Guide me my God and lead me)
Ulisema naposhindwa, nikuite (You said to call you when I am defeated)
Hivi leo nakuita, nisikie (I call upon You today, hear me)
Usiende mbali nami (Do not go far from me)
Usiniache pekee yangu (Do not leave me alone)
Mungu wangu, uniongoze (Guide me, my God)

Dunia hii, ina mambo mengi sana baba (This work)
Sasa dhambi, imetawala dunia (Has dominated the world)
Walio okoka, wengine wanarudi nyuma (Some are backsliding)
Mi napenda nikupendeze Mungu, upendezwe nami! (I want to please You God, to be pleased by me!)
Niyashike maagizo yako, unifurahie! (To follow Your precepts, that You’d be pleased with me!)
Neno lako Yesu likae ndani yangu (Jesus, Your Word to abide in me)

(Refrain)

Kuna wengine, wachanganya Mungu na dunia (There are others who mix what is godly and wordly)
Na wengine, wanalibadili neno lako (And others keep changing Your World)
Yesu ukisema, na wao pia wanasema (Jesus when You speak, they also speak)
Mi nataka nikusikie Yesu ukisema nami !(I want to hear You Jesus when You speak with me)
Maana wewe ndio wa thamani, maishani mwangu! (For You are the valuable thing in my life)
Nguvu zako Yesu zikae ndani yangu (Your Power Jesus, to remain in me)

(Refrain)

Ni kweli Bwana, nimekutana na vita kali (Lord it is true, that I have fought hard battles)
Lakini Yesu, umepigana baadala yangu (YBut Jesus, You have fought on my behalf )
Wewe umekuwa, ni mwamba wa wokovu wangu (You have become the rock of my salvation)
Mbele yangu sijui kuna nini, unipiganie! (I do not know what is ahead of me, Fight for me!)
Usipokuwa nami sitaweza kitu, unishindie! (Without You, I cannot do anything, be my champion!)
Natamani sana nione uso wako jemedari wangu (I desire to see Your Face, my General)

(Refrain)

Ulisema naposhindwa, nikuite (You said to call you when I am defeated)
Hivi leo nakuita, nisikie (I call upon You today, hear me)
Usiende mbali nami (Do not go far from me)
Usiniache pekee yangu (Do not leave me alone)
Mungu wangu, uniongoze (Guide me, my God) (Repeat)

 

Upendo wa Yesu (The Love of Jesus) Lyrics by Upendo Nkone

(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Kama mawimbi, upendo wa Yesu wanizunguka
(Like the ocean waves, the Love of Jesus surrounds me)

Huku na huku (Here and there)
Kila ninapoimba (Everytime I sing)
Niwapo nimelala (When I’m asleep)
Ninapo tembea (When I’m walking)
Hata nikiwa nakula (When I’m eating)
Niwapo safarini (When I’m travelling)
Nikiwa masomoni (On my studies)

Speaking:
Kila tunapokwenda tumezungukwa na nguvu za Mungu
(Everywhere we go we are surrounded by the power of God)
Na kila tunalofanya ambalo ni kwa ajili ya utukufu wa jina lake
(And in everything we do for his glory)
Tumezungukwa na upendo wake
(We are surrounded by his love)

Huku na huku na kule na hapo (Here and there)
Anitegulia mtego wa muovu (He removes the deceivers stumbling blocks)
Ninalindwa kuliko wakuu wa dunia (I’m protected better than men of the world)
Hata nikiwa pekee yangu (Even when I’m by myself)
Na nikiwa nyumbani kwangu (When I’m at home)
Na nikiwa kazini (And when I’m at work)

Huku na huku na huku (Here and there)
Nikiwa hospitalini (When I’m at the hospital)
Nimezungukwa na nguvu za Mungu (I’m surrounded by God’s power)
Huku na huku he (All around me yes)
Kama mawimbi, mawimbi… (like the waves)

Unitetee (Advocate for Me) Lyrics by Upendo Nkone

(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)
