In prisoners’ chains, With bleeding stripes
Paul and Silas prayed that night
And in their pain began to sing
Their chains were loosed; And they were free

Chorus:
I bless Your Name, I bless Your Name
I give You honor, give You praise
You are the Life, the Truth, the Way
I bless Your Name, I bless Your Name

Some midnight hour, If you should find
You’re in a prison in your mind
Sing out and praise, Defy these chains
And they will fall, In Jesus’ Name

(Chorus) x2

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
I bless your Name, I bless your Name

(Sung in Swahili)

Mateke, mateke, mateke (Kicks, kicks, kicks)

Yesu amempa shetani mateke (Jesus has kicked out the devil
Sababu ya mateke, mimi niko huru (Because of the kicks, I’m free)x2

Chorus:
Mateke, mateke, mateke (Kicks, kicks, kicks)
Sababu ya mateke, mimi niko huru (Because of the kicks, I’m free)x2

Wengi walinitazama wakidhani kuwa mi niko sawa (Many saw me and thought me ok)
Pesa, magari, na show kila mahali (With my money, cars and shows everywhere)
Ukweli ni kuwa sikukuwa na amani (The truth is I had no peace)
Machozi kila mara, huzuni kanijaa (Tears all the time, I was full of grief)
Nilisumbuka we, nililia eh (I was troubled, I cried)
Nilisumbuka we, hapo ndipo Yesu (I was troubled, and that was when Jesus)

(Chorus)

Huko nyumbani, mashida zakuandama (At home, troubles follow you)
Stima maji, hata bwana alienda (Electricity, water, even your husband left)
Marafiki nao, zao wanakusemasema (your friends gossip about you)
Hapa kule, wapi utaenda? (Here and there, where will you go?)
Usilie we, usisumbuke eh (Don’t cry, don’t trouble yourself)
Usilie we, sema nami sasa (Don’t cry, now say with me)

(Chorus)

Kwa sababu ya mateke zake Yesu (Because of the kicks Jesus gave)
Shetani naye, yeye ameshindwa (Satan is defeated)
Kwa sababu ya mateke zake Yesu (Because of the kicks Jesus gave)
Shida nazo, zote zimekwisha (All the troubles are over)

Chorus:
Bado nasimama, (I’m still standing)
Bado naendelea (I’m still continuing)
Bado najikaza, (I’m still pressing on)
Nifike kule (That I may reach there)
(Repeat)

Bila neema na rehema zako (Without your grace and mercy)
Ningekuwa wapi mimi? (Where would I be?)
Bila upendo na fadhili zako (Without your love and favor)
Maisha yangu, yangekuwa bure (My life would be meaningless)
Kwa wema wako, kanisimamisha (You established me with your love)
Na imani yangu, ukaiweka salama (And kept my faith safe)
Kama si wewe, (If not for you,)
mwamba wa wokovu wangu (The Rock of my salvation)
Nisingeweza, ningeangamia (I would have perished)

(Chorus)

Nainua macho yangu, (I lift up my eyes)
Kwako wewe Baba yangu (To you my Father)
Msaada wangu, utatoka wapi? (Where does my help come from?)
Msaada wangu, katika Bwana (My help, is from the Lord)
Hasinzii, anilindaye (He who watches over me does not slumber)
Haniachi mimi niteleze (He will not let me slip)
Anipa nguvu na uwezo wake (He gives me strength and his might)
Ili mimi nifike kule (That I might reach there)

Why, must Jesus go to Calvary?
Why, must Jesus bear the cross for all?
Why, must Jesus die for me and you?
Cuz I know that I am the one deserving to die for my sins
So why? Why?

Why? Why, must Jesus go to Calvary?
Why, must Jesus bear the cross for all?
Cuz we have sinned and falllen short of the glory of the Lord
So why? Why?

Why, I want to know why?
He didn’t have to die
It could have been me
It should have been me.

Why? Why?

Jesus had to die (Why? Why?)
I know that I am a sinner
But he didn’t have to die for me (Why? Why?)
I’m the one, I’m the one who deserves to die (Why? Why?)

(Oh Why? Why?, Why? Why?)

For God so loved the world that he gave his only son
That whosoever believeth in him shall not perish (Why? Why?)

Why? Oh Why? (Repeat)

He didn’t have to die; I fell short of the glory of the Lord
For my sins (I love) He didn’t have to die (I love)
But I’m so glad he did (Oh My God, My God)
I don’t know why Jesus loves me (I love)
I don’t know why He cares (I love)
But I’m so glad He did, (oh My God) I’m so glad (My God)

(I love, I love, Oh My God, my God)

Lifts me up, when I fall;
He’s my ever present help
In time of need
Covers me with his righteousness

Chorus:
A healer; healer he is to me
When I’m falling, When I’m wounded and worn
Jesus takes me, into his loving arms again
What a healer, healer he is to me

How often, have I wandered away
From safety, have I drifted away
But Jesus had to suffer to rescue me
He treats me, as no rebel at all

He lifts me up – every time that I fall
He’s my ever present help in times of need
And He covers me with his righteousness
What a healer, what a healer

(Chorus)

What a healer he is to me x2
Jehovah Rapha my healer x2
And if he can do it for me, He can do it for you
You don’t have to worry no more
So receive your healing, receive your healing
Everybody help me say

Receive your healing…
It’s here…
It’s yours …
