UMUGABA
He! He! He! He! He! He! He!
Ninde muntu w’umuntu avuga akaruhuka
Nide muntu w’u tekerezaho ukunva ususurutse
Ninde muntu utanga amahoro atagira amaganya
Uwo muntu araganje yanyihariye wese.
Urumugaba ugaba abagaba
Intwari irenze ingenzi.
Ntabwami bwahangura ubwamibwawe
Kuko ntujya uhangarwa. |

Everlasting Father
Everything I do, everywhere I go,
and every breath I take, He is with me.
No one can intimidate me, no one can terrorize me
Because everything in heaven is mine.
He knows my problems
He knows my needs
He cares for me
He cares for me
I won’t be a beggar, or a thief
Because I am supported by a rich man
We know each other
He lives in me
He is my oxygen, without Him I could die
He prepares my table, before my enemies
Though I pass in the valley of death
I will fear no evil
Everlasting Father
He loves me, He loves you, He loves us |

Birashaboka (translated)
Is there any one who has seen
A lizard turn into a crocodile?
My friend, let the poor live.
A wheel barrow has turned into an
Airplane and now is swimming in the sky!
Oh, my friend, let the poor live.
A box has turned into a tall building
A box is turned into a tall building
Now every one is finding shelter
From the rain.
My friend, let the poor live.
The desert has become an ocean
The desert has become an ocean
All creatures are healthy
My friend, let poor live
A wheel barrow has turned into an
Airplane and now is swimming in the sky!
Oh, my friend, let the poor live. |

THE LORD TAKES CARE OF ME
The Lord takes care of me
Like a shepherd takes care
Of his sheep, Oh! Oh!
There is nothing more that I need
He leads me to the fields
Of fresh green grass
And lets me rest there
The lord welcomes me
Like a person welcomes
His special guest to his home
He places his plate of food
In front of me while my enemies
Are watching.
He makes sure that I have a cup to drink. |

STOP CRYING
In usual life, we meet many temptations within bad situations
Where everything gets worse
You suffer a lot and you start doubting that maybe God is not with you
Stop crying ‘cause your Creator is still alive
Stop crying you are not alone, God loves you.
Stop crying, stop crying
God is not far…God is near to us, everything you need,
ask Him
If anyone comes to Him, He won’t drive away
Please take heart, He loves you
God is not far…God is near to us, everything you need, ask Him
If anyone comes to Him, He won’t drive away
Please take heart, He loves you |

Umusaraba Wisoni (The Cross of Shame)
When I think about my life
I find a reason to be grateful
Oh what manner of love is this
That brought me thi far
I Hill tell of his love to the nations
What manner of love is this
That a king should die in my place
I Hill be His forever
To him I Hill always belong
So much was done for me
When he died on that rugged cross
What was the price
What could have been the cost
His life has no price
It’s so priceless, it’s free for all
His mercy keeps us safe |

Just A Moment
Just a moment that’s gone
I have seen what God has done for me
Just a moment that’s gone the pain
is swept away by the waves of love
Just a moment that’s gone, I hardly believe how it’s done
Just a moment that’s gone
I have seen what God has done for me
Just a moment that’s gone the pain
is swept away by the waves of love
Just a moment that’s gone, I hardly believe how it’s done
Truly I met the most high I can’t deny.
No matter how I lived, no matter how I was distressed
No matter how it was dark, no matter how it was painful
Just a moment, I have met sovereign God,
He has touched my life,
He became my friend
Now he is standing next to me, I can feel him, touching me
I can feel him.
Just a moment I’m strong, just a moment I’m dancing
Just a moment I have joy, just a moment I’m praising. |

SINJE MWAMI
Sinjye mwami sinjye wabiteye
Nurukundo wankunze ntakuzi
Ukamva na mububata bwumwanzi
Ukanshyira mubikari byawe
Wanjjagala mukama wanjjagala
Nneyo mubalasi mukama wanzijjayo
Nneyo mubayaye mukama wanzijjayo
Ate si kye kyoka mukama wamponya
Wamponya andwadde ezaburi kyika
Oli wamanyi owebwe ekitibwa
Mwamimana shyirwa hejuru
Kuko waratsinze ntawuhwanye nawe
Mumahanga yose niwowe ukwiye ishimwe |

Sinjye Mwami (translated) Not to Us
It was not me Lord
I am not the reason
It’s that love you loved me
It took me from the mirey clay
And sat me with kinas and princesses
You loved me Lord
You loved me
You took me out from the criminals
Saved frm being unwanted
You healed me
Healed me of all my diseases
You are worthy of all the glory and honor
Be glorified
You have won my battles
Be glorified in the nations |

VAHANZE
Vahanze injira
Umwanzi aragushuka
ngo nawe arumugene
ukanywa ibiyobyabwenge
ugategekwa nurumogi
rukaguhindura nkikizongwe

Umwanzi aragushuka
Ngo Imana yakuremyeneza
Ukajyamubusambanyi
Ukabikora uziko aribyiza
Yarangiza akakwiturasida
Ntakiza cyohanze we vahanze injira
You vahanze aha aha vahanze
Hanze nihabicyane hanze hazaba
Imbwa nabarozi nshiti yange vahanze |

Vahanze (Translated)
The devil is tempting you
Saying you are beautiful
Suggesting sensuality
You think it’s so fun
then comes pain
It’s secular contamination
Come out!
Come out, come out
It’s so cold there.
Come out |

Forgive Me
I have gone far away from you, oh Lord
I have shifted you from my heart, oh Lord
I welcomed the King who can kill my life
Please Lord, have mercy on me
Forgive me, I beg your forgiveness
Forgive me, I beg your forgiveness
It is because of your love that I am alive
If you leave me alone I could die, please
Your word says, though your sins are like blood
You will change them like snow
Come and reign in me again my Lord
Come and reign in me again my Lord |

In Jerusalem
I will see you in the holy city
Where you will break the bottles
That contain the tears of the saints
For you have saved every tear
From every broken hearted
Who cry unto you
There will be no crying
Joy will gush forth
And flow like a river
A river a peace, victory and eternal gladness
We’ll see you in Jerusalem |
