kayreIt turns out my brother's new pastor is Congolese, and fluent in Swahili! So here is a very elegant translation from Rev. Kabamba Kiboko of Forest Chapel UMC in the Cincinnati area.
I want to enter the city of God
I will conquer, I will keep walking until I arrive
When faced with trials, when I get weary
Jesus, you tell me: "Wait for me!"
I am called by Jesus Christ to his throne
I run, no need to delay
Those who delay will not receive the crown
I want nothing else but wholeness (or "life," but wholeness is literal and best)
