The Song of the Heart

Loyembo Ya Mitema

We thank you for your graceTopusani liboso nayo
For the gift of lifeTomemi mbeka ya masanjoli
Sing the song of the ancestorsYamba loyembo ya babulami
We praise God with our livesTobonjeli nzambe n’a bomoyi

Your throne is eternalKiti nayo eza ya seko
Your reign is foreverBokonzi nayo ya libela
You are God we will worshipOzali nzambe tozoyembela
Your name is EmmanuelKombo nayo Emmanuel

We praise you, RedeemerTogumbameli yo Mobikisi
Savior of the worldMokeli ya likolo se
The hand that heals the sickMoboko esimbi kondima
Of the saints is JesusYa basantu eza yo Yesu

With lifted hands we singBipayi yovandi yamba
The song of the heartLoyembo ya mitema
We raise our hands to HeavenMaboko totomboli Likolo
Hosanna, we praise youHosanna nkembo nayo

And when the trumpet soundsN’a ekulusu makila etangi
Lord Jesus, we will bow downMokonzi Yesu namipesi mbeka
The white lamb is sacrificedElamba ya pembe epasuki
We will not forget your grace and mercyTozwi bosomi liboso n’a yawhe

(And so) The Holy Spirit comforts us(N’a yango) Sango malamu, ekomeli biso
Always, Christ is victoriousTongo tongo masiya asekwi
He is always aliveAza lisusu n’a lilita te
He is the source of lifeAlongi liwa aza n’a bomoyi

The source of life is eternalLilita etikali polele
Christ is always victoriousMasiya nde Yesu asekwi
Everything I have is because of HimOyo nionso ya ngai ekufaki
He is always with meEsekwi elongo naye

With lifted hands we singBipayi yovandi yamba
The song of the heartLoyembo ya mitema
We raise our hands to HeavenMaboko totomboli Likolo
Hosanna, we praise youHosanna nkembo nayo

Redeemer of the worldMobikisi ya mabota
Of the earth and the skyYa mokili to telimi
Do not harden our heartsTo sopi mitema
To your grace and mercyNa biso liboso nayo

We praise you, RedeemerTogumbameli yo Mobikisi
Savior of the worldMokeli ya likolo se
The hand that heals the sickMoboko esimbi kondima
Of the saints is JesusYa basantu eza yo Yesu

The source of life is eternalLilita etikali polele
Christ is always victoriousMasiya nde Yesu asekwi
Everything I have is because of HimOyo nionso ya ngai ekufaki
He is always with meEsekwi elongo naye

With lifted hands we singBipayi yovandi yamba
The song of the heartLoyembo ya mitema
We raise our hands to HeavenMaboko totomboli Likolo
Hosanna, we praise youHosanna nkembo nayo
