Ndakwibutse Lyrics

Ndakwibutse Lyrics by ANNETTE MURAVA

(English Translation)

In the midst of many worries and problems
You ask yourself ‘’where is my God”
Your heart is very anxious wondering where your God has gone
But take heart my child I am still there and I heard your cry
I am coming to erase the shame caused by your wounds and to comfort you
Be sure that my love for you will never fade away
I am the yesterday and today
I never change

I am the God who comforts hearts
And even that high mountain which seems unmovable
I am the God able to remove it
Look I’m restoring what locusts have eaten
My promise never fails
I now have come to defend you
Be still my child, I have remembered you

Cry can last the whole night but in the morning you might appear
How can I not defend you, I who gave my life for you?
I cannot give myself to you
And fail to provide what I know that you need
That sacrifice was a manifestation of deep
Love high above whatever you are passing through my child
That alone should assure you that your pain also touches me
Those were seasons but now a new season has arrived for you
Be sure that I will never leave you nor forsake you
I am still your God

The tear you shed, the pain you go through be as assured that I see them
I have no forsake you, I have not forgotten you
Always remember that I love you
The tear you shed, the pain you go through be as assured that I see them
I have no forsake you, I have not forgotten you
Always remember that I love you
The tear you shed, the pain you go through be as assured that I see them
I have no forsake you, I have not forgotten you
Always remember that I love you

Even that high mountain which seems unmovable
I am the God able to remove it
Look I’m restoring what locusts have eaten
My promise never fails
I now have come to defend you
Be still my child, I have remembered you
