Paul Clement - Amenifanyia Amani Lyrics
Lyrics
Amenifanyia amani Amenifanyia amani Kaondoa huzuni yangu Kanifanyia amani.
Nijapopita, kwenye bonde la mauti Sitaogopa, maana wewe uko nami Gongo lako na fimbo yako, eh Bwana vyanifariji Wanifanyia amani umesema, ya kwamba hutaniacha Sababu mimi, ni mboni ya jicho lako Bwana wanitazama, asubuhi, mchana, jioni Eeh Bwana, kweli Mungu wa baraka
Amenifanyia amani Amenifanyia amani Kaondoa huzuni yangu Kanifanyia amani.
Amebadilisha uchungu wangu, umekua ni furaha yangu Oh huyu Yesu amenipa furaha Kanifanyia amani Amebadilisha machozi yangu yamekuwa ni furaha yangu oooh! Huyu Yesu amenipa furaha kanifanyia amani
Amenifanyia amani Amenifanyia amani Kaondoa huzuni yangu Kanifanyia amani.
Furaha unipayo siyo kama ya dunia hii Amani unipayo siyo kama ya ulimwengu huu Wewe waniganga moyo nipatapo uchungu Wanifanyia amani
Amenifanyia furaha Amenifanyia furaha Kaondoa huzuni yangu Kanifanyia furaha.

Meaning & Inspiration
Paul Clement has a unique way of articulating the raw, human experience of needing God, and his track Amenifanyia Amani captures that perfectly. Found on his 06 Feb 2019 album, Usiyeshindwa, this song moves past simple praise into a deep, experiential confession of what the Lord does for his people. When Paul sings that God has made peace for him and removed his sorrow, he is speaking directly to the promise in John 14:27 where Jesus gives us a peace that the world simply cannot manufacture or destroy. It is that kind of security that carries him through the dark seasons he mentions, specifically when he references walking through the valley of the shadow of death without fear because the Shepherd is present.
He leanings heavily on Psalm 23, acknowledging that the rod and staff of the Lord are what bring comfort when everything else feels unstable. The song turns into a prayer of identity, grounding itself in the reality that he is the apple of God’s eye. This is not just a poetic sentiment; it is a biblical truth pulled from Zechariah 2:8, where God guards His people with extreme care. Because he knows he is under the constant gaze of the Creator, he can stand firm regardless of whether it is morning, noon, or night. He correctly identifies that this kind of transformation—turning bitter tears into joy—is the exclusive work of Jesus.
When he declares that the joy and peace he possesses are not like the shaky, fleeting stuff offered by this world, he is echoing the distinction between temporal satisfaction and eternal transformation. He invites the Lord to heal his heart in times of pain, recognizing that God is the physician of the soul. This isn't just about feeling better; it is about the structural change in a life that has been touched by the presence of the Almighty. By the time the chorus hits again, it feels less like a song and more like a declaration of war against grief. You realize that peace is not merely the absence of trouble, but the active presence of a God who refuses to leave His children alone. If you are waiting for a sign that God is still in the business of mending broken hearts, look no further than the reality that He provides a rest for your soul that carries more weight than any trial you currently face.
