This translation maintains the essence and message of the original Swahili song, which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and the joy it brings.
“Verse 1”
We’ve heard good news, we’ve heard joyful sounds
What’s the source of your joy, tell us twice
Why do we see smiles on your faces and joy in your hearts?
Tell us four times so we can rejoice with you
“Chorus”
The source of our joy is the birth of a child
His name is Emmanuel, we’ve been given a son
And all power is on his shoulders
He will save us from sin, Lord
Verse 2
Let’s rejoice, let’s sing, let’s dance
For we have been redeemed by Jesus, the Son of God
We’ve been given a son, and all power is on his shoulders
He will save us from sin
“Chorus”
We’ve been given a son, and all power is on his shoulders
“Bridge”
Herod wanted to kill Jesus to foil God’s plan
But God’s plan is the one that stands, don’t be discouraged
The plan of God will come to pass, what He has planned for you will happen
Mother: God’s plan will come to pass, don’t lose hope
Father: God knows you, God’s plan will come to pass
“Chorus”
We’ve been given a son, and all power is on his shoulders (four times)
A worship song that exalts God as the Lord of Lords and worthy of praise.
