Walter Chilambo – Asante

Lyrics: Asante by Walter Chilambo

Asante Mungu, wewe ni mwema (Thank You God, You are good)
Umenipa uzima, na kunipenda (You have given me life and loved me)
Moyoni mwangu nina amani tena (I have peace in my heart once again)
Nimeacha yote niliyoyatenda (I have abandon all I did before)

Nimeamua nikufuate maana we ni salama (I have resolved to follow you for You are a refuge)
Mbele yako najinyenyekeza eh Mungu wa huruma (I humble myself before you, Oh God of Mercy)
Nimeamua nikufuate kwa maana we ni salama (I have resolved to follow you for You are a refuge)
Nang'ang'ania nisikuache Mungu wangu (I struggle that I may not abandon you My God)

Response: Oh Mungu (Oh God)
Asante kwa kunipenda (Thank You for loving me)
Asante kwa kunilinda (Thank You for protecting me)
Milele nitaimba sifa zako (I will forever sing Your Praises)

Niende wapi, niukimbie uso wako? (Where can I go to run away from Your presence?)
Niende wapi, nijiepushe na roho yako (Where can I go to hide from Your Spirit?)
Kwako Bwana, Bwana umenichunguza na kunijua (In You Lord: You have searched me and known me)
Nakushukuru kwa wema wema wako Bwana (Lord I thank You for Your Goodness)

Unilinde na mabaya yote yasinipitie (Protect me that I may not encounter evil)
Unioshe Bwana, kwa damu yako nisiangammie (Wash me Lord, with your blood that I should not perish)
Unilinde na mabaya yote yasinipitie (Protect me that I may not encounter evil)
Unioshe Bwana, kwa damu yako nisiangammie (Wash me Lord, with your blood that I should not perish)

Asante, asante, asante (Thank You, thank You, thank You)
Bwana Asante, asante Bwana (Lord thank You, thank You Lord)
Kwa kunipenda (For loving me)

(Refrain)

Asante, asante, asante (Thank You, thank You, thank You)
Mungu wangu (My God) (Repeat)
