i remember a few words of this song in Creole i heard on the radio...do you know the rest of the lyrics? ..... se li sel ki ka ba mwen delivrans tout fado mwen peche, nan men li dispose paske bondyem nan ka ban mwen delivrans
Se yon chan jwaye
Yon nouvèl glorye
Nanpwen lòt kòm li
Nan lemmon antye
Mwen renmen chante l
E m'ap pwoklame l
Bondye nou kapab
Ba ou la delivrans
Kè:
Se Bondye ki kapab delivre
Se li sèl ki toujou delivre
Tout fado peche sou li depoze
Paske Bondye nou
K'ap bay la delivrans
Moun ki vle vini
Pa dwe janm mize
Pòt la byen ouvè
Pou l kapab antre
Kris se chemen, la verite, lavi
Bondye nou kapab ba ou la delivrans
Se yon chan jwaye
Pwoklame l byen lwen
Pou tout aflije anba chaj peche
Kapab resevwa padon pa la fwa
Bondye nou kapab
Ba ou la delivrans
everytime i am in Haiti i hear this song being sung in church services... do you have all of the lyrics?(pardon, while i try to sound out what i hear)Jezi, beni sois ton nomJesi, oh meveye donJezi, ... ....
That's a French song from Chants D'esperance on the French side of the songbook. #19.
It is not sung in Creole.
Le nom de Jésus est si doux
De Dieu désarmant le couroux
Il nous appelle au rendez-vous
Précieux nom de Jésus
It is not sung in Creole.
Le nom de Jésus est si doux
De Dieu désarmant le couroux
Il nous appelle au rendez-vous
Précieux nom de Jésus
The Chorus goes:
Jésus! Béni soit ton Nom!
(Jesus, blessed be your name)
Jésus! Oh merveilleux don!
(Jesus, what wonderful gift)
Jésus! suprême rançon
(Jesus, Supreme ransom)
Sois adoré pour toujours
(Be worshipped for ever)
J'aime ce nom dans le chagrin
Il me soutient sur le chemin
Sa musique est un son divin
Précieux nom de Jésus!
J'aime le nom de mon Sauveur
Car Lui seul connait tout mon coeur
Lui seul me rend plus que vainqueur
Precieux nom de Jesus
J'aime ce nom dans le chagrin
Il me soutient sur le chemin
Sa musique est un son divin
Précieux nom de Jésus!
J'aime le nom de mon Sauveur
Car Lui seul connait tout mon coeur
Lui seul me rend plus que vainqueur
Precieux nom de Jesus
