Memekiyaye – Mesfin Gutu Amharic Christian Lyrics

[Part 1: Memekiyaye]
Tesfaye neh ante marefiyaye
Ante metamens bante
O memekiya neh ante memekiyaye
Ene gin belay nigusen shomeyalew
Alferam aldenegtim enema
Kurat kurat alegn, emekalew ene bamekas min allebet?
Anbessaw Eyesus yene hono yelem wodaje Eyesus
Haylegnaw Eyesus yene hono yelem wodaje Eyesus

[Part 2: Ke Sheleko Metahu]
Ke sheleko metahu terara lay komku
Ke regregu wist wetahu ejen teyazkun
Ye telaten anget yasregeten Geta yikberlign

[Part 3: Be Bereha Gasha]
Be bereha gasha letetema wuha sithon ayehu Eyesus yene Geta
Dekamawn jerbahn atasmetam
Simih biruk yihun simih be kibr
Yemiskinnun tsiri hulgize tisemaleh
Be ba’ed midr lay abat tihonaleh
Letalakinetih ekenyallew, legetinetih esegdallew

[Part 1: My Boasting]
You are my hope, You are my resting place.
My trust is entirely in You.
Oh, You are my pride, my reason to boast.
But as for me, I have made the King above my ruler.
I will not fear, and I will not be shaken.
I am filled with holy pride; I will boast, for why shouldn’t I?
Is not Jesus the Lion on my side? Jesus is my friend.
Is not the powerful Jesus on my side? Jesus is my friend.

[Part 2: I Came Out of the Valley]
I came out of the valley and stood upon the mountain.
I emerged from the miry swamp; my hand was held secure.
May the Lord be glorified, the One who made me tread upon the neck of my enemy!

[Part 3: A Shield in the Desert]
I have seen You become a shield in the desert and water for the thirsty, Jesus my Lord.
You do not leave the back of the weak exposed to danger.
Blessed be Your name, Your name is in glory!
You always hear the cry of the poor.
You become a father to those in a foreign land.
I will sing to Your greatness, and I bow down to Your lordship.
