Chief of Sinners

295 – Chief of Sinners

Major Key: A Flat

1
Chief of sinners though I be,
Jesus shed His blood for me;
Died that I might live on high,
Died that I might never die;
As the branch is to the vine,
I am His, and He is mine.

2
O the height of Jesus’ love!
Higher than the heaven above,
Deeper than the deepest sea,
Lasting as eternity;
Love that found me-wondrous thought!
Found me when I sought Him not!

3
Chief of sinners though I be,
Christ is all in all to me;
All my wants to Him are known,
All my sorrows are His own;
Safe with Him from earthly strife,
He sustains the hidden life.

121 – Katika Wenye Dhambi
“Chief Of Sinners”

1
Katika wenye dhambi,
Ndimi mkuu wao-
Ila Yesu ukaja,
Kwa dhambi alikufa,
Akamimina damu,
Niupate uzima.

2
Ajabu! Pendo lake!
Pendo lililo kuu,
Pendo lisilo mwisho,
Lidumulo milele-
Lililonitafuta
Ingawa sikumpenda

3
Ingawa ni mbaya
Kristo ni vyote kwangu;
Ajua haja zangu;
Huzuni zangu, zake;
Hata katika vita,
Akiwapo Salama.
