Spoken: Eizooba ryaza kureenga, n’omwirima gwatimba
Abaana bawe barundane, ij’obabumbatire
Chorus: Taata, tureeberere, tureeberer’itwabantu bawe (6x)
Gather all your children under your mighty wings
Gather all your children, be our holy refuge, O Lord
Gather all your children under your mighty wings
Gather all your children, be our holy refuge, O Lord
1. The sun is going down
And thick clouds overshadow the earth.
Gather all your children under your mighty wings
Gather all your children, be our holy refuge, O Lord
Eizooba ryaza kureenga, n’omwirima gwatimba
Abaana bawe barundane, ij’obabumbatire
O sing, eizooba ryaza kureenga, n’omwirima gwatiimba
Abaana bawe barundane, ij’obabumbatire
2. The darkness has now set it in,
and chaos reigns over the earth
Come down and defend us, be our refuge, O Lord
Come down and defend us, be our holy refuge, O Lord
Omwirima gwatiimba, n’ensi yatabanguka
Ija taata oturwanirire, niiwe buhumuriro. O sing
Omwirima gwatiimba, n’ensi yatabanguka
Ija taata oturwanirire, niiwe buhumuriro
Gather all your children under your mighty wings
Gather all your children, be our holy refuge, O Lord
Taata tureeberere, tureeberer’itwabantu bawe
Taata tureeberere, tureeberer’itwabantu bawe
O Gather all your children under your mighty wings
Gather all your children, be our holy refuge, O Lord
Gather all your children under your mighty wings
Gather all your children, be our holy refuge, O Lord
He Bridged The Gap
Copyright © 1/29/2006 by Lucy Kobusingye
Refrain:O praise the Lord and bless his holy name
His mercy and love for us is endless
Praise the Lord and bless his holy name
Our hope and shelter ever more
He bridged the gap that has separated heaven and earth
He bridged the gap by his great sacrifice
By his death, our sins are forgiven
And his rising, our hope for eternal life
He bridged the gap when he came down from his kingdom
By his cross we were born again
No longer slaves but co-heirs of the kingdom
With Jesus our brother and our king
Bridge:For our offenses he was stricken, afflicted and left to die
But our god raised him up
And gave him a name above all others
So at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is lord
The Keeper Of My Soul

1. Nothing is beyond me when I put my hand
In the hand of my lord
He’s the keeper of my soul
He’s the lover of my life
2. Nothing can contain me when I put my hand
In the hand of my lord
He’s the keeper of my soul
He’s the joy of my life
Celebrate Jesus, celebrate his love. Celebrate his passion
For he’s the reason why I sing (2x)
3. Darkness can’t consume me when I keep my sights
On the face of my lord
He’s the keeper of my soul
He’s the savior of my life
Celebrate Jesus, celebrate his love. Celebrate his passion
For he’s the reason why I sing (2x)
Celebrate Jesus, celebrate his love
Celebrate Jesus; he’s the keeper of my soul
Celebrate him, celebrate Jesus
Celebrate his passion
O help me sing it; help me sing it yah
Celebrate Jesus
He’s a passion, he’s the keeper
He’s the lover of my soul
He’s the lover of my soul
Don't Let The Sun Go Down
Copyright © 2005 by Lucy Kobusingye
Chorus: Don’t let the sun go down on this day
Before I lift my hands to the sky in praise
Don’t let the sun hide beyond the horizon
Before I sing my song of praise to you
1. Sometimes I forget that you’re the anchor of my life
You give every breath that I take
Sometimes I forget that you’re my reality
You’re the only truth I can count on
I get busy worrying about today
But at day’s end, all that really matters is you
Chorus
2. In My human pride I fail to seek your face
And hope seems so far away
But when I call your name, you’ll there to console
And my fears all fade away
I get busy worrying about today
But at day’s end, all that really matters is you
Chorus
Come And Feed Us
Copyright © 8/4/2006 by Lucy Kobusingye
1. Savior of the world, with love, come and feed us
Bread of life for hungry hearts
To your refreshing waters lead us
To find that peace that comes from you
May we your wayward children
By your forgiveness
Rest consoled and healed
Chorus: Come Lord Jesus, come and feed us
Come Lord Jesus, come and change our hearts
O come Lord Jesus, mend our brokenness
Come Lord Jesus, give to us new life.
2. We have wandered from your fold, into the desert lands
Away from you, life-giving vine
There can be no life in us
Lord now we call to you, come and feed us
By your great guiding hand
Draw us to your heart

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, savior and lord
Jesus, Jesus, call him when you need a friend
He will be there
O Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweet Jesus, savior and lord
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, my Jesus
Call him when you need a friend

Was tempted in every way but did not sin
He knows our every weakness
So when your heart is troubled
Call upon our friend, Jesus
He will be there
2. He’s our faithful shepherd, he knows us each by name
He laid down his life for us that we might have life
He’s always close and listening
So when your heart is troubled
Call upon our friend, Jesus
He will be there
Sweet Jesus, yes he will, he will be there (4x)
When the flood water’s rising; he will be there
Call him; he will calm the troubled sea
He will be there
Call him, call him, call only Jesus
He will be there
Bring him all your troubles
He will be there
When you need someone to hold you up
He will be there
When the tempter derails you
He will be there
When you’re in need of a friend
He will be there
When the floodwater’s rising
He will be there
Call him; he will calm the troubled sea
He will be there
Call him, call him, call only Jesus
He will be there
