Mwimbieni Bwana ‎#87

87. Nataka kusimama

1 Nataka kusimama
chini ya msalaba,
kama kivuli cha mwamba
wakati wa mchana,
kama ni maji nyikani,
kambi safarini,
na hapa nitapumzika,
kwani jua kali.

2 Mahali pema sana
chini ya msalaba,
kwani hapo waoneka
upendo wa Yesu.
Yakobo alivyoona
ndotoni zamani,
mti Yesu aliowambwa,
ni ngazi kwa Mungu.

3 Juu ya msalaba huo
Yesu alikufa.
Alikufa tuokoke,
tuliopotea.
Ninastaajabu kabisa
ni mambo mawili:
kwake Yesu ni upendo,
kwangu mimi kosa!

4 Wataka kuonana
na Yesu mbinguni,
yakupasa kukaa kwanza
chini ya mti huo.
Ni kweli siku chache tu
mateso na shaka.
Halafu pasipo mwisho
furaha kwa Bwana!
