O give thanks unto the Lord,
For He is good,
And His mercy endureth forever. (2 times)
Come, see the goodness of God,
He loves you.
Njoo, tazama Mungu wetu. (2 times)
Mshukuruni Bwana,
Kwa kuwa ni mwema,
Kwa maana fadhili zake
ni za milele na milele.
Come, see the goodness of God,
He loves you.
Njoo, tazama Mungu wetu. (2 times)
O give thanks unto the Lord,
For He is good,
For His mercy endureth forever. (2 times)
Note: Last Saturday morning I asked the Lord for a song, and since I had been studying Psalm 136 in Swahili earlier that morning, the Lord gave me a tune to go with the first verse of this Psalm, incorporating both English and Swahili. I found this encouraging to my spirit as I sing thanksgiving to God for His infinite goodness, blessing us on this journey to our heavenly home. God has blessed us with family in East Africa and in rural Kentucky. Our life in Tanzania is limited to only a few more months, and this limitation is a vivid reminder of the shortness of life here on earth. Our days are numbered, and it is our heavenly home where there will be no more painful partings. For now, our task is to love God with all of our being, and give Him our thanksgiving as the psalmist wrote in this psalm and many other psalms. I love to hear the Africans sing choruses of thanksgiving to God. They sing with so much energy and enthusiasm. I thank the Lord for this time he has allowed us to join our brothers and sisters here in Mwanza, Tanzania.
