Ami fidèle
Jonathan C. Gambela
My faithful friend
The rock on which I stand
My refuge, the rock on which I lean
And the rock on which I sit
Just on the rock
You are my shelter
But you are my rock, my God
You have torn me from
The entrails of death
Today, you have saved me
The enemies have mocked me
To kill me or to call me
Your love, my faithful friend
To you, the God of my intimacy
I surrender myself completely
For I have tasted your faithfulness
You have saved a child
You never leave me
You said it and you did it
To disappoint me, you surrounded me
By your kindness, Father, you kept me
From your love now
I will not be able to deprive myself
You are my friend, my faithful friend
Yahweh, oh Yahweh
In the darkness of my life
Your light shines
The night turns into day
I was not among the chosen ones
Your grace is enough
For me to understand
Hey, who could have thought
To find me in the pit of despair
To find me in the pit of despair, God
But you know everything
And without hesitation
You reached out to me
A new day has dawned
To you, the God of my intimacy
I surrender myself completely
For I have tasted your faithfulness
You have saved a child
You never leave me
You said it and you did it
To disappoint me, you surrounded me
By your kindness, Father, you kept me
From your love now
I will not be able to deprive myself
You are my friend, my faithful friend
My friend, oh my friend Jesus
On you I can rely
Many times you have proven it to me
Your love has endured everything
So that I remain by your side
Why would I leave?
Without you, what would I be?
Shammah, my faithful friend
(My friend)
You comfort me with your words
You encourage me alone
You comfort me with a person
You encourage me alone
You insist, you comfort me with your words
You comfort me with your words
You encourage me alone
My eyes, you comfort me with a person
You encourage me alone
Moreover, you
You call me to love
Jesus, you call me to love
I am grateful today
Jesus
You hold my hand
You guide me, you lead me
Yahweh
You call me to love
You protect me alone
My God
