Bila Wewe Bwana - Had it been Without You Lord
Bila wewe Bwana, [Had it been without You Lord,]
Nakubali Bwana, [I concur, Lord,]
Ningeangamia siku ile ya kutisha. [I would have perished in that terrifying day.]
(Chorus)
Ni Rehema zako (Bwana) [It is Your Mercy (Lord),]
Na upendo wako (Bwana) [And Your Love (Lord)]
Vyanilinda nisiangamie. [That protect me from perishing.]
Hapo wengi Bwana [There, Lord, many, Lord,]
Wamekwama Bwana; [are stuck, Lord]
Wataangamia siku ile ya kutisha. [They will perish In that terrifying day.]
Yesu wangu Bwana, [My Jesus, Lord,]
Nakubali, Bwana, [I accept, Lord,]
Kukutumikia siku zangu za maisha. [To serve you all the days of my life.]
Yesu wangu Bwana [My Jesus, Lord,]
Likumbuke, Bwana, [Remember, Lord,]
Agano lako, siku zangu za kuishi. [Your covenant, my days to live.]
Text and tune by Rev. Yemorini Mgallah in 1970s to early 1980s.
