Tune:KWAKE YESU NASIMAMA

159. Kwake Yesu nasimama (Here on Christ the Rock I Will Stand)

Refrain:
Kwake Yesu nasimama,
ndiye mwamba ni salama.
ndiye mwamba ni salama,
ndiye mwamba ni salama.

1 Cha kutumaini sina,
ila damu yake Yesu
sina wema wa kutosha,
Dhambi zangu kuziozha. [Refrain]

2 Njia yangu iwe ndefu,
yeye hunipa wokovu
mawimbi yakinipiga,
Nguvu ndizo nanga [Refrain]

3 Nikitwa hukumuni,
rohoni nina amani
Nikivikwa haki yake,
Sina hofu mbele zake. [Refrain]

Refrain:
Here on Christ the rock I will stand,
other ground is sinking sand.
Yes, on Christ the rock I will stand,
other ground is sinking sand.

1 Jesus knows the troubles I face;
in his blood flow mercy and grace.
What he gives, I cannot repay,
all my sin he washes away.

2 Jesus gives me strength when I’m weak;
he’s the satisfaction I seek.
He’s my shield when troubles draw near.
He’s my comfort through ev’ry fear.

3 When the judgment comes I will be
in Christ’s presence, fearless and free,
where the courts are ringing with praise,
crowned with righteousness all my days.
