MAPEMA SANA PADRE na Fr. Joseph C. Ogbu

Huzuni kapata umaarufu haraka,

Tanzia! barua likasomeka,

Macho yalitiwa upofu, kwa machozi kutirika,

Alfajiri sana Jeshi kaondoka 

Wala adhuhuri hukuweza fika.

Furaha yetu ilipojituliza

 Huzuni ikapaaza sauti,

Tamaa yetu tungekuuguza,

Ila haikutuonea huruma mauti,

 Utume kweli ungeendeleza,

Basi Kifo naye msaliti. 

Loo! Dunia basi

Machozi yetu kasi

Padre  tena haupo nasi

Imani umeilinda

Kristo Mauti lishinda

Na huko kwake mekwenda, 

Na Kwake umejituliza.

Hakika kifo ni fumbo

Wala hatuelewe lake jambo.

Padre wetu Asterius Mutegeki

Sauti yako tena haisikiki,

Katamani kabisa tucheke

Wazo la uwepo wake,

Ndo kaja Mwenyezi aliyemtaka

Nasi tukabaki na kuchoka.

Katika wema na kheri,

Mpe taji jemadari,

Kwenye udhaifu na shari,

Huruma yako itakabali,

Twaomba astahili,

Umuangaze kwa yako miali,

Astahili rehema zako.

Lala salama Baba, 

Usafiri salama Mtu mwema

Naenda salama Mpendwa

Tutakutana kwa Mungu Baba. 

PLEASE GOD, by Fr. Chukwudi (JoeNwaOgbu)

HERI YA PASAKA KWAKO!!! na Shemasi Joseph C Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Alleluia! ni wimbo wetu; hatuna mashaka,

Cherekochereko, njia yetu; kaja na Pasaka,

Furaha tele, nyoyo zetu; kwetu ni baraka,

Vigelegele safi, ndimi zetu; hatuna haraka,

Tembea kwa maringo, yupo kwetu; Kristo Mfufuka,

Huzuni kwaheri, furaha karibu; Kristo kajitoa sadaka,

Tabasamu basi; Kristo Yuko nasi, hautaanguka,

Basi, naomba nikutakie neema na fanaka

Katika kipindi hiki cha shamrashamra za Pasaka,

Na mema yaendelee kukaa nawe bila mipaka, 

Ili daima uishi na kuneemeka,

Na baraka zitiririke kama mvua wakati wa masika.

MACHOZI NA MAJONZI TENA na Shemasi Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

 Nyumbani imesikika, 

Mlango ukapigika,

Kelele kubwa metoka,

Mjumbe ameshafika,

Machozi yatiririka,

Moyo umeshavunjika,

Loo! Baba Mwanjonde katoka.

Baba Mwanjonde katoka,

Kenda kwa alompeleka,

Alofanya kaumbika, 

Ni huzuni kwa hakika,

Kwake Mungu atapumzika,

 Imani yetu kafika,

Kweli hatuna mashaka,

Bwana ndiye kamtaka.

Bwana ndiye kamtaka,

Alotufanya kucheka,

Kwa upole alipendeka,

Utume alisifika,

Baridi imekushika,

Joto kwako limetoka,

Mtu mwema kaondoka,

Mwanjonde ametutoka.

Mwanjonde ametutoka,

Ulimi umekauka,

Kwa tenzi tunatenzika,

Huzuni na hekaheka,

Ni wazi na ni hakika,

Nasi huko tutafika,

Padre Timothy nenda,

Nenda salama Mwanjonde.

Hatuna cha kulaumu, 

Mungu kwake ziwe sifa,

Sote tulo binadamu,

Ni hakika tutakufa,

Hakuna sintofahamu,

Mwanjonde metangulia,

Na kesho tutamfuata.

Kwaheri Baba

Kwaheri Sana Baba

Safari umemaliza Baba

Lala salama Baba

Nasi baadayi tutakufuata Baba.

IT IS WORTHY YOUR PRAYER by Fr. Alex E. K. Mtarondwa (MkaaPwekeKariakoo)

There is never time to pray,

There is never plan to pray,

There is no way to avoid,

There is no voice never heard

Every kneel, every moment, every dash is reserved for God

Every so called "EVERY"

Is worthy your prayer.

Every loss and gain

Every happiness and pain

Every respect and shame

Due season and rain

Darkness and sunshine

When life is easy and in comfort zone

When your heart is in trouble and broken

Every season

Every person

Every situation

Every reason

Is worthy your prayer.

No mater the position you have

Despite being hated or loved

Neither the higher you go

Nor the harder you fall

When all is hell

When all is well

When there is darkness in your heart

Or light in it than never

When in hardships, uncertainties and setbacks

Or your life is of deep meaning and inner peace

That moment

Is worthy your prayer.

Every silence

Every noise

Every person

Every season,

Every situation

It is the real reason

Worthy your prayer.

Make it yours

You're not busy 

When it is your duty

Prayer in the night, prayer in the morning,

Prayer in the noon, prayer in the evening,

Every moment, every drop,

Every move, every stop,

It is never too early nor too late,

Stop what you're doing and get back to prayer.

Whatever is called "EVERY"

This very moment, 

Is worth your prayer.

IT IS

WORTHY 

YOUR PRAYER.

NI UKOMA KABISA na Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Wapi unaogelea huu ukoma wangu

Kwako nakimbilia ee Mungu wangu,

Magoti chini; macho kwako

Tutazame usoni; Sisi watoto wako.

Sauti nzuri tena katulisha kwetu sasa,

Lo! kila tabia mbaya, ukoma kabisa

Tuziache na tufuate mazuri kwa unyenyekevu

Ili daima tuishi kwa furaha na utulivu.

Uendelee kukaa nasi ee Mungu Mwema

Wala usisite kutuponya katika kila wetu ukoma

Tuweze tena kukuimbia nyimbo zetu nzuri

Kwa kututendea haya makubwa mazuri.

Ee Mungu Mwenyezi wa milele

Naomba uendelee kutuongoza mbele,

Utuponye jumla bila kubakiza hata kipengele

Maisha yetu yapambwe na amani na vigelegele

Ili nyumba zetu; mfano mzuri huku na kule

Na njia zetu; mafanikio na baraka tele.

KUMBE NDO KINACHOENDELEA NYUMBANI na Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Habari njema imetufikia; Watanzania furahini

Mapadre,watawa, walei, sote simameni

Tutazame tulikotokea, tulipo na tunapoelekea 

Kweli, furaha kubwa kwetu Tanzania.

Sinodi ya Maaskofu; Mkutano Mkuu wa Mababa

Kaitisha yule Mkuu, Francis wetu Papa

Imani yetu idumu, mpaka tufike kwa Baba

Liishi Kanisa letu, lisafiri bila kusimama.

Kumbe ndo kinachoendelea katika Kanisa

Nasi tuko imara kushiriki kabisa

Tutembee pamoja sote katika umoja

Tusiache fuatilia, kila hatua-na-hoja.

Kwa pamoja na ushirikiano tutaweza

Katika umoja tutafurahi na kucheza

Sinodi hii, ya ulimwengu wote

Njooni haraka tutembee pamoja sote.

Mashaka ondoeni, wasiwasi fukuza

Pamoja tusafiri, sikubali kuachwa

Nyuma we sibaki, tukalijenge Kanisa

Umoja Sinodi, uwazi, ukweli kila hatua.

Kina baba na mama, furahini

Amka wewe kijana, watoto msibaki

Amkeni mliolala, mbiu yapigwa Sinodi

Si ndoto tena, sinodi i mlangoni.

Wako mchango muhimu, msaadao hakika

Uthamini ee ndugu, dumisha ushirika

Kwa nini usishiriki? Sipishane na baraka

Tumikia Kanisa hili, na thawabu tapata

 

Majimbo yote, njooni mchote baraka

Msisite, msichelewe kabisa; kimbieni haraka 

Mama Kanisa anayofuraha kusema; karibuni

Na msiogope Kupiga hodi nyumbani.

Wapendwa, tusikilizeni utaratibu wa majimbo yetu

Tuweze kulisaidia Kanisa kwa utaalamu wetu

Kwa unyenyekevu na upendo wa dhati

Ili tuendelee kufurahia ulimwengu kama Umati.

(Sinodi ya XVI ya Maaskofu  kiulimwengu 2021-2023)

HEKIMA YA BABA; IDUMU MILELE na Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu) 28-09-2021

Bora uchukiwe sababu ya wivu

Utokanao na wako mfano bora 

Si kwa sababu kutokujitahidi na uvivu 

Au kuchukia kazi na kulala kila mara.

Simama, vaa mkanda; acha kushika mashavu

Usiogope, kila siku inatujia na yake nguvu

Maisha mazuri sana, kabisa si mabovu

Kazi hazikwepeki; mweke Mungu mbele, bila  ulegevu.

Hekima ya Baba iendelee kudumu milele

Inasikika masikioni bila hata kelele 

Na hu i pa miguu nguvu kusonga mbele 

Na daima huua maovu kama mshale.

Be Calm; Those singers never finished by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

 

LADY AFRICA; WE SING THY PRAISE by Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Smart land, beautiful home

Painted with a purified colour

Dazzling even in the darkest part,

Like Smart damsel, like beautiful star

Your image, our replica

Devoid of any cosmetic colouration

Pure as gold unrefined!

Like queen on a throne; oh beautiful Creature

Vibrant voice always; elegant!

We are the true seeds

That bear the virtues with which thou are made,

Thou are the breast that feeds all,

And "We", the offspring that sing thy praise!

Arise Africans! Let us jubilate

Our home, immaculate; let us celebrate,

Yes! Africa; a beautiful family to desire,

A Mother, who remains not to retire,

Good heart, her nature!

Indiscrimination, her culture!

Love cum unison, her song,

And equity; ever sounds her gong,

Calling children not to ruin Mother’s integrity

Even when wind seems blowing beyond their capacity,

Remember, With God, we shall live to hold our angelic culture,

For the sake of present harmony, and for the future.

I love Thee Mother Africa

We love Thee, Lady Africa.
