Pa Maabudu – Sioni Haya Kwa Bwana (Lyrics)
(Verse 1)
Sioni haya kwa Bwana, Kwake nitang’ara!
I am not ashamed of the Lord, in Him I will shine!
Mti wake sitakana, Ni neno imara.
I will not deny His cross (tree), It is a firm word.
(Chorus)
Msalaba ndio asili ya mema, Nikatua mzigo hapo;
At the cross is the source of all good, I laid down my burden there;
Nina uzima, furaha daima, Njoni kafurahini papo.
I have life, joy forever, come and rejoice right there.
(Verse 2)
Kama kiti chake vivyo, Ni yake ahadi;
Just as His throne is, so is His promise;
Alivyowekewa navyo, Kamwe, havirudi.
What has been entrusted to Him, will never fail (never return).
(Chorus)
Msalaba ndio asili ya mema, Nikatua mzigo hapo;
At the cross is the source of all good, I laid down my burden there;
Nina uzima, furaha daima, Njoni kafurahini papo.
I have life, joy forever, come and rejoice right there.
(Verse 3)
Bwana wangu, tena Mungu, Ndilo lake jina!
My Lord, and also God, that is His name!
Hataacha roho yangu, Wala kunikana.
He will not leave my soul, nor will He deny me.
(Chorus)
Msalaba ndio asili ya mema, Nikatua mzigo hapo;
At the cross is the source of all good, I laid down my burden there;
Nina uzima, furaha daima, Njoni kafurahini papo.
I have life, joy forever, come and rejoice right there.
(Verse 4)
Atakiri langu jina, Mbele za Babaye,
He will confess my name before His Father,
Anipe pahali tena, Mbinguni nikae.
That He may give me a place, to dwell in heaven.
(Chorus)
Msalaba ndio asili ya mema, Nikatua mzigo hapo;
At the cross is the source of all good, I laid down my burden there;
Nina uzima, furaha daima, Njoni kafurahini papo.
I have life, joy forever, come and rejoice right there.
