Afen Mulaw (Abenezer) – Tadesse Eshete Amharic Christian Lyrics

Le ene yaderekehu bizu eyale
Mech libe yihnin astewale
Tikik neger sile godeleñ
Amlake mebarek eyakateneñ

Be ene lay yalesh asabeh
Eyawokut bego fekadeh
Mekefate tadyaw lemin new
Anten amesegenyeh yema laderew

Chorus:
Afen mulaw be mesegena
Mulaw be mesegena
Ke maguremrem heywot awtanyina
Mulay be mesegena (x2)

Iske metche deres be enguruguro
Sasamah enoralew enyoro
Bizu neger tedergolen
Endal tedergge hod basen

Ke sew lay anesahu aynochen
Koterku aseselaselku barkotocen
Leka ezih mekomé bante newal
Getaye mesegena yigebahal

Chorus:
Afen mulaw be mesegena
Mulaw be mesegena
Ke maguremrem heywot awtanyina
Mulay be mesegena

Aminana kach amnan asha gero
Liyakomeny yach alew zendiro
Tibetkah mehonu zengeche
Mezal sijemru egrotche

Abenezer alkugn kena alkugna
Tilant yarekewun asebkuna
Beharuru tila yehoneken
Lamesegenh kehmot yadanken

Chorus:
Afen mulaw be mesegena
Mulaw be mesegena

What You have done for me is so great,
Now my heart understands it well.
Even though I may lack a few things,
It’s foolish to stop blessing my God.

When I know Your thoughts about me,
And Your good and perfect will,
Why should I complain or grumble?
How can I not praise and thank You?

Chorus:
My mouth is filled with thanksgiving,
Filled with thanksgiving!
You took me out of a life of murmuring,
And filled me with praise!

How long will I keep complaining?
How long will I live without hearing You?
You’ve done so much for me,
Yet I acted as if nothing was done.

I looked at others and compared my life,
Counted and measured my blessings,
But the reason I stand here today
Is because of You, Lord — all praise belongs to You!

When trouble came, You protected me,
When I was weak, You held me up.
I said “Ebenezer — thus far the Lord has helped me!”
You were my shade under the burning sun,
You saved me from death — I must praise You!

Chorus:
My mouth is filled with thanksgiving!
