Yesu uveye lwanda, ndenya kwivisa mu ive
Amasayi ga ive, agatulanga balo, leta masayi gogo
Unyala ku ndakasa, waninda hasi hano, lwa muvili kukuza
Lwa ndazila mwigulu, kulola ive mwene
Oo yesu lwanda lwange, kwivisa mwive
Waninda hasi hano, lwa muvili kukuza, lwa ndazila mwigulu
Kulola ive mwene
Si mbeye na chandeta, kwogiza mwoyo gwange, nzitsa vujira kindu
Ndi mwoni mudamanu, leta masayi gogo, unyala ku ndakasa
Mu kivala cha nyasaye, nzigombanga kudukayo
Na handi nyoleyo vuduki vwi liduku ni liduka
Mu kivala kilahi, ha ndenya kumenya mu lidala ku kigulu
Ha vahenza wa valitsya, mu vugono vwa valomba ha valimenyayo
Mukonyi agenda na inze kuvolelana naye, anzimilila hosi tsa, ndenya kuduka hango he
Mu kivala kilahi ha ndenya kumenya
Mu lidala he kigulu ha vahenza wa valitsya
Vugono vwalombelwa ha valimenyayo
Lwa mbele ku inzila iyi, vuyanzi vwa mwigulu na tsingerosi vimbanga, tsinyimbo na vuyanzi
Mu kivala kilahi ha ndenyaho kumenya mu lidala mu kigulu, ha vahenza wa valitsya
Vugono vwalombelwa, yavo ha valimenyayo
Utahenda moyo mu kivi, nyasaye alakulinda, wivise mu vuyanzi vwive, nyasaye alakulinda
Ye alakulinda mu kiheli cha inzila, alakulinda hosi, nyasaye alakulinda
Hagati mihinzi midinyu, nyasaye alakulinda lwa vuhimwa vuve himbi nyasaye alakulinda
Ye alakulinda, mu kiheli cha inzila, alakulinda hosi nyasaye alakulinda
Mu vudaka alakuha, nyasaye alakulinda umusivila uliguta nyasaye alakulinda
Ye alakulinda, mu kiheli cha inzila, alakulinda hosi nyasaye alakulinda
Lwa uvelela wenyine, nyasaye alakulinda, alakuletela milembe, nyasaye alakulinda
Ye alakulinda, mu kiheli cha inzila, alakulinda hosi nyasaye alakulinda

valava vosi mu vuhendeli
ulingila ulingila
Songs to bury the dead
My name is Hellen Makungu and I am going to sing songs sang during the burial of the dead. Today is 15th march 2014
Jesus you are my rock, I want to hide myself in you
In your blood, bring your blood
You can bless me; you have guided me, when my body dies
When I come to heaven, to see you
Oo Jesus my rock, I will hide myself in you
You have guided me, when this body dies, when I will come to heaven
To see you alone
I do not have anything to bring, to clean my soul, I am coming with nothing
I am a bad sinner, bring your blood, you can cleanse me
In heaven that belongs to God, I long to reach there
Where I will find richness when the day come
In the good place, where I want to stay, in a village on a hill
They look where they will go, a place where was prepared to stay
My helper walks with me, we talk together, he guides me everywhere, and I want to reach to his place
In a good place where I want to stay
In a village on a hill, where they look they will go
A place has been prepared where they will go
When am on this road, the joyous angels are singing, songs of happiness
In a good place where I want to stay in a place on a hill, they look where they will go
A place has been prepared, where they will stay
Do not be afraid in trouble, God will guide you, hide yourself in his happiness, God will guide you
He will guide you in the challenges of the road, he will guide you everywhere, and God will guide you
In the middle of tough activities, God will guide you when trouble is near, God will guide you
He will guide you in the challenges of the road, he will guide you everywhere, and God will guide you
In poverty he will provide, God will take care of you, trust in him God will guide you
He will guide you in the challenges of the road, he will guide you everywhere, and God will guide you
When you are alone, God will guide you, he will bring happiness, God will guide you
He will guide you, in the challenges of the road, he will guide you everywhere
People will enter heaven
Heaven, heaven
You will enter, you will enter
The roads will be good, which are made of gold, good things will be there
You will enter, you will enter
Trouble will be taken away
Heaven, heaven
Again they will receive crown
You will enter, you will enter
They will see Jesus, there will be no sorrow, people will rejoice
You will enter, you will enter
They will knock at the door
Heaven, heaven
They will be told we do not know you
You will enter, you will enter
They will try to enter but they will not manage
They will not receive presents
You will enter, you will enter
They will be at the look
You will enter, you will enter
Others will sing with happiness
Heaven, heaven
Song that was bought by blood
You will enter, you will enter
They will greet their people, Christians that died long time ago
They will all be at the look
You will enter, you will enter
