It's time to be happy, it's time to be happy And to rejoice This is the appointed time Before our bones grow weary What would we be if not for You? Whose would we be? What would we call ourselves? Creator of our souls You who gives us life You who watches over us Each person in their season Who gives them their inheritance I don't know how tomorrow will dawn But I'm sure You who began this work Do not get tired of us It's true, You have done great things Yes, great things Things never seen before Great God Credits Song: Kikuyu spiritual song Artist: Ruth Wamuyu Music video: Courtesy of Let's get lyrical Text & translation: Let's get lyrical Copyright: Fair use principle, for educational purposes. | |
