Mahali Pa Raha
Abiudi Misholi's 'Mahali Pa Raha' is a Swahili gospel song that expresses a longing for heaven as the true place of rest and joy. The lyrics contrast the troubles and failures of earthly life with the peace and perfection of the heavenly home, described as a fortress built with precious stones. The singer declares that only in heaven, with Jesus, can the soul find complete relief from sin and sorrow. The song reflects a deep desire for eternal rest and the hope of being with Christ in glory.
Anikingiaye mabaya ndani.
Dunia haina makimbilio
Nisposhindwa na makosa yangu
Sipo sipo hapa sipo
Mbinguni ni ngome ya raha yangu.
Iache dunia ione kombe
Unapofurahishwa moyo wapi
Ni yerusalemu pazuri inapojengwa
Na mawe mazuri ya dhahabu
Ndipo ndipo, ndipo ngome
ya makimbilio ya moyo wangu
Angani mwa Yesu ni raha ajabu
Hakuna makosa na shida Huko
Vinubi sauti na nyimbo nzuri
Raha raha raha tamu
Mbinguni kwa Yesu naitamani
