Martha Mwaipaja - Mimi Ni Mpitaji Lyrics

Mimi ni mpitaji katika dunia (I’m a passerby in the world)
Makao yangu ni kwa baba juu (My home is with my father up there)
Baba yangu 'kaniandalia makao (My father made me a home)
Alipo yeye nami ndipo niwepo (Where he is so I’m with him)
Kwa hiyo mimi ulimwenguni sio kwangu (So the world is not my home)
Kwangu mimi ni kwa baba juu (My place is with my father up there)

Mimi ni mpitaji katika dunia (I’m a passerby in the world)
Makao yangu ni kwa baba juu (My home is with my father up there)
Baba yangu 'kaniandalia makao (My father made me a home)
Alipo yeye nami ndipo niwepo (Where he is so I’m with him)
Kwa hiyo mimi ulimwenguni sio kwangu (So the world is not my home)
Kwangu mimi ni kwa baba juu (My place is with my father up there)

Naishi ninajua (I live I know)
Nipo hapa kwa muda (I’m here for a short time)
Makao ya milele (Eternal home)
Ni binguni kwa baba (Is heaven with my father)

Magumu yanipatayo (The difficulties I go through)
Yote ni ya kitambo (They are all past tense)
Nyumbani kwa baba (At home where my father is)
Kule hakuna taabu (There is no trouble)

Yeye si mwanadamu (He’s not a man)
Hatasema uwongo (He won’t lie)
Akisema mwokozi (When the savior says)
Ni nani atapinga (Who will object)

Ingawa dhiki ipo (Although tribulations exist)
Moyoni sitahofu (My heart is not afraid)
Ameenda kuandaa (He’s gone to prepare)
Anarudi kunitwaa (He’ll return to take me)

Nitaubeba msalaba (I’ll carry the cross)
Hata kama ni kwa shinda (Even if it’s difficult)
Ninajua Yesu wangu (I know my Jesus)
Anarudi kunitwaa (Will return to take me)

Kasema asiye na shaka (He said the one who is not doubtful)
Huyo atamuona (He will see him)
Sina shaka na baba (I have no doubts with my father)
Yuaja kunitwaa (He’ll come to take me)

Mimi ni mpitaji katika dunia (I’m a passerby in the world)
Makao yangu ni kwa baba juu (My home is with my father up there)
Baba yangu 'kaniandalia makao (My father made me a home)
Alipo yeye nami ndipo niwepo (Where he is so I’m with him)
Kwa hiyo mimi ulimwenguni sio kwangu (So the world is not my home)
Kwangu mimi ni kwa baba juu (My place is with my father up there)

Mimi ni mpitaji katika dunia (I’m a passerby in the world)
Makao yangu ni kwa baba juu (My home is with my father up there)
Baba yangu 'kaniandalia makao (My father made me a home)
Alipo yeye nami ndipo niwepo (Where he is so I’m with him)
Kwa hiyo mimi ulimwenguni sio kwangu (So the world is not my home)
Kwangu mimi ni kwa baba juu (My place is with my father up there)

Asema hatamuacha wake (Says he won’t abandon his own)
Daima (Forever)
Mimi nipo na baba (I’m with my father)
Sitaachwa (I won’t be abandoned)

Yote ya dunia (All things of the world)
Yanapita (They are passing)
Makao ya baba (The father’s house)
Yadumu daima (Will last forever)

Ninajiweka tayari (I’m getting ready)
Kumgonja (To wait for him)
Atakaporudi baba (When my father returns)
Atanitwaa (He’ll take me)

Sitahofu nikipita (I’m not afraid of going through)
Katikati ya mateso (In the midst of suffering)
Nimewekewa taji (My crown is prepared)
Ya ushindi mbinguni (Of my victory in heaven)

Mimi ni wa thamani (I’m precious)
Mbele zake baba (In front of my father)
Hawezi kuniacha (He can’t abandon me)
Yupo nami daima (He’s with me forever)

Mimi ni mpitaji katika dunia (I’m a passerby in the world)
Makao yangu ni kwa baba juu (My home is with my father up there)
Baba yangu 'kaniandalia makao (My father made me a home)
Alipo yeye nami ndipo niwepo (Where he is so I’m with him)
Kwa hiyo mimi ulimwenguni sio kwangu (So the world is not my home)
Kwangu mimi ni kwa baba juu (My place is with my father up there)

Mimi ni mpitaji katika dunia (I’m a passerby in the world)
Makao yangu ni kwa baba juu (My home is with my father up there)
Baba yangu 'kaniandalia makao (My father made me a home)
Alipo yeye nami ndipo niwepo (Where he is so I’m with him)
Kwa hiyo mimi ulimwenguni sio kwangu (So the world is not my home)
Kwangu mimi ni kwa baba juu (My place is with my father up there)

Baba, mama, kaka, dada (Dad, mother, brother, sister)
Wote twendeni (Let’s all go)
Tukauone mji (To see the city)
Ulioandaliwa (That’s prepared)

Alisema kule mbinguni (He said in heaven)
Makao ni mengi (There are many rooms)
Tukazeni mwendo wote (Let’s all brave the journey)
Tukafike (So can reach our destination)

Ni mtakatifu yeye (He’s holy himself)
Asiye lamawa (He’s blameless)
Tujitahidi wote (Let’s all strive)
Tukamuone kwa uso (We go see him face to face)

Anakuja baba (The father is coming)
Na ujira (With a reward)
Wote twendeni (All of us let’s go)
Tukamuone kwa uso (We see him face to face)

Aliupenda ulimwengu (He loved the world)
Anarudi (He’s returning)
Wote twendeni (Let’s all go)
Tukamuone (We see him face to face)

Mimi ni mpitaji katika dunia (I’m a passerby in the world)
Makao yangu ni kwa baba juu (My home is with my father up there)
Baba yangu 'kaniandalia makao (My father made me a home)
Alipo yeye nami ndipo niwepo (Where he is so I’m with him)
Kwa hiyo mimi ulimwenguni sio kwangu (So the world is not my home)
Kwangu mimi ni kwa baba juu (My place is with my father up there)
