Je T'Aime Shiloh

Looking for something on Shiloh, my home town, I came across this clip of a song in French sung by Nadege from the Gael group, Le Groupe Adorons L'Eternel (GAEL), a Gospel Musical Group from Congo Kinshasa. They base their music on Praises and worships. Most of the time sing in Lingala but also sing in French like this very inspiring song sang by Nadege. As it has not direct overt reference to anything not Jewish, here it is (lyrics below):

Shilo



Répands en moi ta vie par les eaux de ton esprit.
Crée en moi un cœur nouveau, je t'en prie
Tu t'appelles : Je suis !
Pour me dire : Je sais !
Parce que rien ne peut troubler mon cœur en paix.
S’il faut que je te dise un mot au-delà de tous mes mots
Je te dirais : oh ! je t'aime, Shilo !

Refrain :

Shilo, inscris ton nom dans mon esprit.
Sinon je ne saurai pas vivre en moi ta vie.
Shilo, ta gloire éclaire tout mon être.
Au nom de ton amour, je vis.

Tiens ma main sur le chemin.
Viens poser sur moi ta main.
Fais briller par ton amour mes lendemains.
Au Palais des bien-aimés où ta grâce me fait régner.
Je me réjouis de partager et t’aimer.
Tendre ami : ô Shilo, viens enlever en moi le faux.
Établis dans mon cœur ce qu'il faut.

Refrain :

Shilo, inscris ton nom dans mon esprit.
Sinon je ne saurai pas vivre en moi ta vie.
Shilo, ta gloire éclaire tout mon être.
Au nom de ton amour, je vis.

Ta parole me purifie et ton sang me justifie, Shilo !
Ta puissance me régénère.
Ton esprit, en moi, révèle la grandeur de tout ton être
De tout mon cœur, pour toute ma vie je t'aime !
Ô Shilo !

Refrain :

Shilo, inscris ton nom dans mon esprit.
Sinon je ne saurai pas vivre en moi ta vie.
Shilo, ta gloire éclaire tout mon être.
Au nom de ton amour, je vis.

Refrain :

Shilo, inscris ton nom dans mon esprit.
Sinon je ne saurai pas vivre en moi ta vie.
Shilo, ta gloire éclaire tout mon être.
Au nom de ton amour, je vis.

De tout mon cœur, pour toute ma vie je t'aime.
De tout mon cœur, pour toute ma vie je t'aime.
De tout mon cœur, pour toute ma vie je t'aime.
De tout mon cœur, pour toute ma vie je t'aime.

Ô Shilo,
Je t'aime Shilo !
Tu es toute ma vie
Ô Shilo
Toi qui essuie mes larmes
Oh c'est toi, Shilo!
La joie de mon cœur
Oh c'est toi !
Oh Mon cœur t'élève,
Mon cœur te bénit, Shilo
Mon cœur t'exalte, Shilo
Sois élevé, sois béni, Shilo !
Sois béni, Shilo !

I know its late but I've translated the song :

Put your life into me ,
By the waters of your spirit
Create in me a new heart
I pray In your name : I am
To say : I know
Because nothing can disturb my heart at peace.
If I have to tell you a word
Beyong all my words to you
Oh I love you shilo

Shilo put your name in my mind , otherwise I do not know I live in your life.
Shilo your glory illuminates my whole self
In name of your love I live

Hold my hand on the way
Just place your hands upon me
Spread your love, shine through my tomorrow's.
At the palace beloved where grave made me reign
I look forward to sharing love dear friend: Oh shilo
Just take me in the wrong,
Established in my heart what it takes


Shilo put your name in my mind , otherwise I do not know I live in your life.
Shilo your glory illuminates my whole self
In name of your love I live

Your word and your blood cleanses me justify myself shilo
Your power regenerates me ,
Your mind in me reveals the greatness of your being
With all my heart, for my entire life I'll love you oh shilo


Shilo put your name in my mind , otherwise I do not know I live in your life.
Shilo your glory illuminates my whole self
In name of your love I live


Shilo put your name in my mind , otherwise I do not know I live in your life.
Shilo your glory illuminates my whole self
In name of your love I live

From all my heart, for all my life I'll love you
From all my heart, for all my life I'll love you
From all my heart, for all my life I'll love you
From all my heart, for all my life I'll love you

Oh shilo
I love you shilo
You are my life
O shilo
You who wiped away my tears
Oh its you!
Oh my heart , I rise
My heart blesses you shilo
My heart exalts you
Shilo be high
Be blessed , shilo
Be blessed shilo

I did a research I'm from Congo-Kinshasa , I knew shilo was not a word in lingala so I looked it up Shilo is a word in hebrew for messiah.
I hope the lyrics are useful :)

Thanks.
Shiloh can be a location, a period of time, a person's name, a symbol for Messiah.

This song is the best, also It's an Haitian song. I'm Haitian and I love It very much. But the problem is that Gael is not going to be able to write any more songs because she's dead.

Thank you for the English translation. It sure speaks of Shiloh with so many old and new testament references; His Spirit, His Life, His Word, His blood, His cleansing, His peace, His keeping power, His regeneration. Enter in and worship our risen Saviour.

Thank you for the lyrics... Been looking for it for a while now

Dear, it’s not a Haitian song. The founding father of the group, Gael, from Congo (DRC), is dead, not the person singing the song.
