AHADI LYRICS BY MARION SHAKO

Ahadi by Marion Shako

   nafsi yangu usichoke
  my soul/spirit do not tire

roho yangu msifu Bwana
my heart praise the Lord

aliahidi atatenda
He promised he’d do it

mtumanie bwana
depend on the Lord

ahadi zake ni za milele
His promises are forever

akiahidi atatenda
if He promises he’ll do it

roho yangu, nafsi yangu
my heart, my spirit

mtumanie Bwana
depend on the Lord

kama mvua ishukavyo
as the rain falls

toka mbinguni kwenye ardhi
from the skies onto the earth

na neno lake kwa kinywa chake
And His word on His lips

halitarudi bure
shall never return in vain

litatimiza mapenzi yake
it’ll accomplish His love

litatenda alivyosema
it will do what He said

aliahidi atatenda
He promised he would do it

(roho yangu)mtumanie bwana
my heart, depend on the Lord

kama mvua ishukavyo
as the rain falls

toka mbinguni kwenye ardhi
from the skies onto the earth

na neno lake kwa kinywa chake
And His word on His lips

halitarudi bure
shall never return in vain

litatimiza mapenzi yake
it’ll accomplish His wishes

litatenda alivyosema
it will do what He said

aliahidi atatenda
He promised he would do it

mtumanie bwana
depend on the Lord

mawazo yake sio yetu
His thoughts aren’t like ours

njia zake si kama zetu
His ways aren’t like ours

mbingu zilivyo juu ya nchi
Just like the skies are above the earth

mawazo yake ni makuu
His thoughts are great

ataagiza fadhili zake
He’ll request His mercies

wimbo wake kwangu usiku
His song to me at night

usifadhaike usiiname
don’t lose faith, donnot bend

mtumanie bwana depend
on the Lord

kama mvua ishukavyo
as the rain falls

toka mbinguni kwenye ardhi
from the skies onto the earth

na neno lake kwa kinywa chake
And His word on His lips

halitarudi bure
shall never return in vain

litatimiza mapenzi yake
it’ll accomplish His love

litatenda alivyosema
it will do what He said

aliahidi atatenda
He promised he would do it

(kweli) mtumanie bwana
Truly, depend on the Lord

kama mvua ishukavyo
as the rain falls

toka mbinguni kwenye ardhi
from the skies onto the earth

na neno lake kwa kinywa chake
And His word on His lips

halitarudi bure
shall never return in vain

litatimiza mapenzi yake
it’ll accomplish His love

litatenda alivyosema
it will do what He said

aliahidi atatenda
He promised he would do it

mtumanie bwana
depend on the Lord
(repeat till fade)
