Baraka...
So I have yet to go to Cornerstone but I just found out Aradhna was there this year! There are some videos from the festival here.
My favs are:
Aradhna
Tea House
I love having a Bible Club in my neighborhood. It is great to get to know more of the kids and the leaders, from Texas, are great I love talking with kids about Jesus. They are so inquisitive and eager to share and learn. I love my neighborhood! I love how God guides our steps.
Today I was hanging out with some kids while there mom's were being taught English. I was asking around to find out what languages they speak and learned one of them is Swahili. I was trying to remember which songs we sing at NCF are Swahili and decided to just start singing one to see if I was right. When the mom's came to get their kids I greeted them: Jambo! and started singing Baraka Za Mungu. "Yes!" That song is in Swahili and most of the mom's knew it so we sang it together! Very cool!
Here are the words- I couldn't find the song to listen to online but I'd sing it for you if you'd like! :)
Baraka za Mungu kweli ni za?
(What is the Lord's blessing?)
Ni za ajabu
(It is a mystery)
Baraka za Mungu kweli ni za?
(What is the Lord's blessing?)
Ni za ajabu
(It is a mystery)
Zaweza kwenda juu (It can go up)
Zaweza kwenda chini (It can go down)
Zaweza kwenda mbele (It can go in front)
Zaweza kwenda nyuma (It can go behind)
Upande, upande (It can go all around)
Kwa mataifa yote (to all the nations)
Upande, upande (It can go all around)
Kwa mataifa yote (to all the nations)
Upendo wa Mungu kweli ni wa?
(What is the Lord's love?)
Amani ya Mungu kweli ni ya?
(What is the Lord's peace?)
Enjoy listening to and reading the translation of some praise songs in Swahili here.
Ephesians 1:3
Atukuzwe Mungu na Baba wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo! Maana, katika kuungana na Kristo ametubariki kwa kutujalia zawadi zote za kiroho mbinguni.
