My kids sang this song today during chapel. 4th grade was in charge of chapel today, and I couldn't be more proud of them! They sang, danced, prayed, and worshipped. They did a skit based on a true missionary story we read in class, when a tribe of Karens in Burma waited 44 years for someone to help them understand God's word, way back in 1795. A long time to be waiting! And they were so eager the whole time...they knew about God, knew of him...had heard his name mentioned before by their ancestors...but that's all they knew. Had to wait 44 years to find out what was so special about Him! This story made me feel a bit guilty...I got to thinking about how I've had a Bible all my life...always known about God, but am I always eager to understand His word? Nope. I'm not. But I wanna be! God is an AWESOME God for sure! He opened the rainy sky and clouds for us, and gave us sunshine so we could have chapel outside today! We sang the song in English and Kinyarwanda. Here's the Kinyarwanda version...it took me about a month to learn! Ha! Kinyarwanda is waaay more difficult than Swahili. Words don't sound like they're spelled!
Imana yacu irahambaye,
Mwijuru no mwisi,
mu bwenge,
mu mbaraga mu rukundo
Imana irahambaye
Our God is AWESOME in any language! :-)
