SINCE JESUS CAME INTO MY HEART- TANGU SIKU HIYO ALIPONIJIA

What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought
Since Jesus came into my heart!
I have light in my soul for which long I had sought,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

Since Jesus came into my heart,
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Floods of joy o’er my soul
Like the sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart.

I have ceased from my wandering and going astray,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And my sins, which were many, are all washed away,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

I’m possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

There’s a light in the valley of death now for me,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And the gates of the City beyond I can see,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

I shall go there to dwell in that City, I know,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And I’m happy, so happy, as onward I go,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

Tangu siku hiyo aliponijia,
Akae moyoni mwangu.
Sina giza tena, ila mwanga pia,
Kwa Yesu, Mwokozi wangu.

Refrain

Amani moyoni mwangu,
Kwa Yesu, Mwokozi wangu.
Sina shaka kamwe
Kwa sababu yeye
Yu nami moyoni mwangu.

Sina haja tena ya kutanga-tanga,
Ndiye Kiongozi changu.
Dhambi zangu zote zimeondolewa,
Na Yesu Mwanawe Mungu.

Refrain

Matumaini yangu ni ya hakika,
Katika Mwokozi wangu.
Hofu zangu na hamu zimeondoka,
Kwa kuwa ninaye Yesu.

Refrain

Siogopi tena nikiitwa kufa,
Yu nami daima Yesu.
Mlango wa mbingu ni Yesu Mwokozi,
’Tapita humo kwa damu.

Refrain

Nitaketi na Yesu huko milele,
Nimsifu Mwokozi wangu.
Nina raha moyoni majira yote,
Kwa Yesu Mwanawe Mungu.
