Baba Yetu [Our Father / Swahili / Christopher Tin]

Baba yetu, Yetu uliye
Mbinguni yetu, Yetu amina!
Baba yetu Yetu uliye
Jina lako e litukuzwe.
Utupe leo chakula chetu
Tunachohitaji utusamehe
Makosa yetu, hey!
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe
Waliotukosea usitutie
Katika majaribu, lakini
Utuokoe, na yule, muovu e milele!
Ufalme wako ufike utakalo
Lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni. Amina

(Mbingu)
Umenifunulia mbingu (Mbingu)
Umenifunulia mbingu (Na kunibubujikia)
(Mbingu)
Oh, send Your rain...

Tunavyomsifu Bwana, Aleluia
Tunavyombariki jina lake, Aleluia
Twakuabudu mtakatifu
Twakuobudu walio wahuru
Twakuabudu mbwoji wako
Umenifunulia mbingu na kunibubujikia

This is the way we praise the Lord, Hallelujah
This is the way we bless His name, Hallelujah
We worship You on this holy mountain
We worship You in the land of the free
We worship You from the flowing fountain
Open the heavens and rain on me
Open the heavens and rain on me

Uvukile UKristu (Zulu)

Uvukile vukilu Kristu
Ubonakele kuMariya
Nakubo abafundi bakhe

Wathi kubo hamban' ezweni lonke
Nishumayele kubo abantu bonke
Okholwayo abhajadiswe
Ongakholwa uyakubhujiswa

INkosi ikhulumile
Yakhushulelw' eZulwini
Yahlala ngakwesokunene
SikaNkulunkulu

Lalelani zizwe zonke
Inqobile iNkosi yamakhosi
Mayibongwe iNkosi yethu
Haleluya {3x}
