NDIMI MWARI (Shona Lyrics)

Pavaiseka pavaitaura
Asi hazvina kundinetesa

Ini ndaingo dzengerera
Nyika ino ndaingo tenderera
Handina kumira kunyengetera
Nhasi uno ndava kupemberera wena

Takazo kunda dutu wena
Nhasi toimba makomborero
Satan tamuita kanhanha
Akange andivavarira wena

Ndinoda kukupa zvese
Kwese kwandoenda
Ndipei kutenda mwari
Ndinoda kukuteverai
Kwese kwandoenda
Ndipei kutenda mwari

Hupenyu hwedu hwuri mumaoko enyu
Hamushanduke
zuro nanhasi
Mwari makafanana
nemuhumbi wehari
kuiumba kana kuiputsa

Kana dutu rikauya
I Will sing hallelujah
Handirase kutenda murudo rwake
Ndinovimba naye
Hakunakaita saye
For he is the great I am

Ndinoda kukupa zvese
Kwese kwandoenda
Ndipei kutenda mwari
Ndinoda kukuteverai
Kwese kwandoenda
Ndipei kutenda mwari

Hupenyu hwedu hwuri mumaoko enyu
Hamushanduke
zuro nanhasi
Mwari makafanana
nemuhumbi wehari
kuiumba kana kuiputsa

Pavaiseka pavaitaura
Asi hazvina kundinetesa kundinetesa kundinetesa

Hupenyu hwedu hwuri mumaoko enyu
Hamushanduke
zuro nanhasi
Mwari makafanana
nemuhumbi wehari
kuiumba kana kuiputsa

Ndimi Mwari


Ndimi Mwari (English translation)

When they laughed
when they talked
That didn't affect me

I went in circles
Went around the country
I always prayed
And now I'm celebrating

We made it through
Today we sing blessings
We made Satan into a baby
He had been on my tail

I want to give you everything
Everywhere I go
Give me hope Lord
I want to follow you
Every where i go
Give me hope Lord

Our lives are in your hands
You don't change
Yersterday and today
Your just the same as a pottery maker making or breaking

When the storm comes
I will sing hallelujah
I don't loose hope in his love
I have faith in him
There is no one like him
For he is the great i am

I want to give you everything
Everywhere I go
Give me hope Lord
I want to follow you
Everywhere I go
Give me hope Lord

Our lives are in your hands
You never change
Yersterday and today
God you are no different to a pottery maker you either make or break

When they talked,
when they laughed
That didn't affect me

Our life is in your hands
You never change
Yersterday and today
God your no different to a pottery maker you either break or make

You are God
