A call for fathers, a call to all of the nations

Join me in the song.

Verse: in Luganda

Yeyaganibwa nze njagalibwe

Nabeera ekikolimo nfuuke oweddembe

Yeetik’ebibi byange kati nasonyiyibwa

Olw’emiggo gyeyakubwa n’olwomusaayi ogwayika

Nanunulibwa nawonyezebwa, mulinya lye.

 

Chorus in Luganda:

Yesu bwe yakubwa, yakubibwa kulwange

Ekalivaliyo, yakubibwa kulwange

Ebibi yabitwala, kati ndi wa ddembe

Nze nasinza nga Yesu ye mulokozi wange.

 

Verse; translated in English

He was rejected so I can be loved

He became a curse of sin so I can be free

Jesus took all my sins now Iam saved

By his stripes am healed and by his blood

I am made whole made whole in Jesus name.

 

Chorus: in English

At Calvary, Christ was wounded for me

At Calvary, Christ was wounded for me

So gone my sins now I am free,

Praise his holy name Jesus my redeemer.

 

RAP:

Hey look so close and u will see

It’s you in the shadows standing out with bloodied

Hands a sign of real murder, but the Christ bearing the penalty of sin in total nakedness and a crown of thorns was upon his head, He’s made a ransom for my guilt and His ressurrection is pretty good assurance that hey,

The work at the cross is finished.

 

Chorus: in English

So gone my sins now I am free,

Praise his holy name jesus my redeemer
