Songs2Serve, a think-tank of intercultural music ministry in the Netherlands, brought forth a new song last month. Very simple and multilingual, including the language of Kirundi. I can't recall ever seeing a worship song in Kirundi before. It's a language spoken by 9 million people in "Burundi and adjacent parts of Rwanda, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, as well as in Kenya." You can find everything you need for the song here. Lyrics in all languages below:
(English)
Holy holy Adonai
Holy holy Adonai
Holy holy Adonai
Holy holy Adonai
Lord we lift Your name on high
Lord we lift Your name on high
Holy holy Adonai
(Dutch)
Heilig heilig Adonai
Heilig heilig Adonai
Heilig heilig Adonai
Heilig heilig Adonai
Wij aanbidden U o Heer
Wij aanbidden U o Heer
Heilig heilig Adonai
(Kirundi)
Wera wera Adonai
Wera wera Adonai
Wera wera Adonai
Wera wera Adonai
Mwam'ushizwe hejuru
Mwam'ushizwe hejuru
Wera wera Adonai
(French)
Saint saint saint Adonai
Saint saint saint Adonai
Saint saint saint Adonai
Saint saint saint Adonai
Nous élevons ton nom plus haut
Nous élevons ton nom plus haut
Saint saint saint Adonai
