Ni Wewe Bwana (It is You Lord)
This is a lovely gospel song sung in Swahili and has special meaning for me. It is special because on my first trip to Kenya a group of orphans encircled me and sang this lovely song. It really touched me. No one translated the song for me at that time. Though I could not speak Swahili I knew it was a worship song unto God. I tried to track the song down for a long time. Every time I would ask a Kenyan friend, no one would know which song I was trying to recollect. I only knew the words "Ni wewe bwana" and decided to search on YouTube when I couldn't get any of my friends to help me find the song. Guess what, I found it! (Update: It has already been some years since I found it and had a Tanzanian friend translate it for me.) The version I'm sharing is the same song but this one on the video is sung to a slightly faster beat. It is sung by well known (now deceased) Tanzanian Gospel singer, Fanuel Sedekia. This song gives me joy and lifts me u
Hello Penny, I read her story and what a wonderful lady, she understands and cares for others. My mother used to support the hospital in Africa where they help woman after grouse circumcisions.. A worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful kind hearted lady is Eva, and all the others who give their time to help other in need. We have to keep the missionary people in our special prayers, because sometimes they are called to remote "warn torn" villages where they put their own life in danger!
ReplyDeleteHow encouraging! What a beautiful, strong woman!
