Hallelujah Amen, Hallelujah Amen...

Cha kutumaini sina, ila damu yake Yesu
Sina wema wa kutosha, dhambi zangu kuziosha x2

Kwake Yesu nasimama, ndiye mwamba ni salama. x2

Njia yangu iwe ndefu, Yeye hunipa wokovu
Mawimbi yakinipiga, nguvu zake ni sonanga.

Kwake Yesu nasimama, ndiye mwamba ni salama. x2

Damu yake na sadaka, nategemea daima.
Yote chini yakiisha, Mwokozi atanitosha.

Kwake Yesu nasimama, ndiye mwamba ni salama. x2

Nikiitwa humukuni, Rohoni nina amani.
Nikivikwa haki yake, sina hofu mbele zake.

Kwake Yesu nasimama, ndiye mwamba ni salama. x4

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name

Refrain: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Jesus kom in, rena mitt sinn,
kom in mitt hjärta Jesus.
Kom in bo kvar, min styrka var.
Kom in i mitt hjärta Jesus.

Jesus come in, Jesus come in.
Come in to my heart lord Jesus.
Come in today, come in to stay.
Come in to my heart lord Jesus.

Ingia Yesu, Ingia Yesu.
Ingia Yesu moyoni.
Ingia leon, ingia kukaa.
Ingia Yesu moyoni.

Tukisoma kitabu cha Mathayo. x2
Mlango watano msitali wa tatu. x2
Kuendelea

Heri walio maskini wa roho x2
Maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao x2
Heri wenye huzuni maana watafalijika x2
Heri wenye upole maana hao watailithi inchi. x2

Heri wenye njaa na kiu ya haki x2
Maana hao watashibishwa x2
Heri wenye rehema maana watapata rehema x2
Heri wenye mioyo safi wataitwa wana wa Mungu x2

Heri wapatanishi hao waita wana wa Mungu. x2
Heri wenye kuhudhiwa kwa ajili ya haki x2
Maana ufalme wa mbinguni ni wao x2

Ni furaha kubwa kwa wale wote x2
Ambao wamemwamini Mwokozi Yesu x4

Om vi läser i Matteus evangelium
Kapitel 5 vers 3
och fortsättningen:

Saliga är de som är fattiga i anden,
dem tillhör himelriket.
Saliga är de som sörger, de ska bli tröstade
Saliga är de ödmjuka, de ska ärva jorden

Saliga är de som hungrar och törstar efter rättfärdighet,
de ska bli mättade.
Saliga är de barmhärtiga, de ska få barmhärtighet
Saliga är de renhjärtade, de ska se Gud.

Saliga är de som skapar frid, de ska kallas Guds barn
Saliga är de som blir förföljda för rättfärdighetens skull,
dem tillhör himmelriket.

Vilken stor glädje för alla de
som tror på Frälsaren Jesus

He’d been begging for some money
and fell asleep on the sidewalk,
I guess he was about ten years old.
People kept on walking as if they didn’t see him
and the funny thing I was one of them
Is this really what I’ve become
a woman with no heart.
I don’t wanna be this way no more.

Touch my heart Lord,
Don’t let me close my eyes.
Open me for heaven
so your love can enter me.
I don’t wanna look the other way.

Started thinking about the words you said
when you talked about the children.
If we welcome one in your name we welcome you.
And you told us that we have to change and become like the little ones
to have a chance to come into your kingdom.
But really what can I do?
I don’t have that much to give.
Tell me where you want me God.

Touch my heart Lord,
Don’t let me close my eyes.
Open me for heaven
so your love can enter me.
I don’t wanna look the other way

I was hungry and you fed me,  
I was thirsty and you gave something to drink, 
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,  
I was in prison and you came to me.

Touch my heart Lord,
Don’t let me close my eyes.
Open me for heaven
so your love can enter me.
I don’t wanna look the other way

Left alone, without a home
Ran to the streets, no shoes, bare feet
Mistreated, an open wound
Seeking comfort in sniffing glue

Sleeps on the street, lives to eat
Comes up to me, begging for tea
Happy eyes, but behind the smile
hides the pain of a lifetime

Is this the time, for me to see
the face of God, in one of these?
Is this the chance to realize
In the midst of these, God is near?

God is near all the broken
God is near all the poor
God is near all the weary
God is near

Left his home, long ago
He was a stranger, but never alone.
Mistreated, turned the other cheek
He had comfort in being a beloved Son

He walked the streets, gave people to eat
Living bread to all men in need.
Happy eyes when he saw the smile
of an outkast finding everlasting life.

This is the time for us to see
The face of God in all of these
There is a chance to realize
In the midst of us, God is near

God is near all the broken
God is near all the poor
God is near all the weary
God is near

God is near all the humble
God is near all the small
God is near all the children
God is near

He became homeless
To bring us home to God
He became poor
To make us rich in him
He became human
to make us one with God

He’s a Father to the fatherless
A defender of the weak
He gives the lonely a family
Takes care of all his sheep
He can heal all the broken
and set the captives free.

Kumbuka kumbuka, hapo mwanzo Mungu aliumba mbingu na inchi.
Kisha akamwumba Adam kwa mfano wake. x2
Enyi wenzangu tupendane kama vile Baba alivyo atupenda sisi x2

Mungu akampa Adam mamlaka ya kutawala vitu.
Vilivyo ulimwenguni kote. Vinavyo onekana na visivyo onekana. x2
Enyi wenzangu tupendane kama vile Baba alivyo atupenda sisi. x2

Mungu aliona siyo vyema Adam kukaa peke yake ulimwenguni.
Akamumba Ewa, awe msaidizi wake Adam. x2

Enyi wenzangu tupendane kama vile Baba alivyo atupenda sisi x2

Kom ihåg, kom ihåg att i begynnelsen skapade Gud himmel och jord. Slutligen skapade han Adam till sin avbild.
Mina vänner, låt oss älska varandra på samma sätt som Fadern älskar oss

Gud gav Adam makt att namnge alla saker han skapat, allt som fanns på jorden.
Både det synliga och de osynliga.
Mina vänner, låt oss älska varandra på samma sätt som Fadern älskar oss

Gud såg att det inte var bra att Adam skulle leva ensam i världen.
Så han skapade Eva för att vara hans hjälp.
Mina vänner, låt oss älska varandra på samma sätt som Fadern älskar oss

Little girl in Sunday dress is stepping up and reaches for my hand
Little girl without a word, but her eyes tell me she wants to play
Little girl with chocolate skin is climbing on my back just to feel loved

Little boys in Africa run towards me with overwhelming joy
Little boys without a home, a place where they could when they're alone
Little boys in Africa hug me tight and say don't go away

Whoa, Whoa

Where did all the Fathers go when all, the world ever needed was some time?
Where did all the mothers go when all, the world ever needed was some love?
Where did all the parents go when the children grow up on their own?

Where did all the models go when the young grow up and lose their selves?
Where did all the leaders go when many sheep are being led astray?
Where did all the servants go when the powerful neglect the small?

Whoa, Whoa,

Refräng:
Oh the children, Oh the children
Oh the children, Oh the children

Oh, there's hope, still there's hope
Oh there's hope for this world

Little girl in Sunday dress, a model of the kingdom of our God
Little boys in Africa show me what it means to be a dad
Little children of the world can teach us what it means to trust in God

Jesus opened up his arms to receive the children and the poor
Jesus wants to show us how we can live a life in childlike faith
Jesus wants to show us how we can change the world by this one thing: Follow Him

Whoa, Whoa

You and me, we can be
Be set right, be one with Christ
Oh come on, won't you die
Die with Christ from the old life
Oh it's time. Time to rise.
Rise with Christ to a new love-life

For the children
For the children
For the children
For the children

Can you see, the sun it shines
Let your life be a light
God is great, God is good
God is love, He is light
God is all, God is more
More than life, He's the Lord of all.

As the night falls and the stars climb up the sky

The silent screams of children, reach my ears

As I look up to the velvet cloth above

I wonder if the children are warm tonight

I wonder if the children sleep at night
I wonder if they’re safe and satisfied
I wonder if they see the same stars as I
I pray they see the same light as I do
