Muhaturi

Story behind this song

Verse 1

Ndanacirirwo kuninwoo ii (I was under the sentence of death) Ngai wakwa ukihatura (My God you Restored/Redeemed me) Hindi iyo amuku akwa maciiraga (The time those who envied me were judging) Ngai Wakwa ukigarurania (My God you turned it around)

Chorus

Muhaturi Muhaturi Muhaturi (Restorer Restorer Restorer) Ngai wakwa wanahatura (My God you Restorer/Redeemed me) Muhaturi Muhaturi Muhaturi (Restorer Restorer Restorer) Ngai wakwa niguo ndagutua (My God that is who I call You)

Verse 2

Ndanagumirwo ni mathiirii (I was deep in debts) Ngai wakwa ukahatura (My God you Restored/Redeemed me) Hindi iyo ndehingagira ngarira (I locked myself up and cried) Niwokire ukingiria maithori (You came and wiped away my tears)

Verse 3

Ndanatarirwo thiku thiire (They counted the days to my end) Ngai wakwa ukirega nanie (My God you refused with me) Ugiuka ukindiukiria mwihoko (You came and revived my Hope) Nissi ukihe ihinda ringi (Nissi you gave me another chance)

Verse 4

Ndaugire ndigwetagirira (I promised to be waiting for you) Ota Ayubu uri watene (Like Job of old) Ona agerera thiina muingi (Though he pass through many troubles) Aguitire tu Muhaturi (He called you Restorer/Redeemer)

Verse 5

Ni maingi wanajika Ngai (You have done so much for me) Ona ndiehota gutariria (I cannot tell it all) Ciugo cia kanyua itigiina (Words of my mouth are not enough) Kuuga uria Ngai unjikiire (To say what God you have done for me)
