Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Sunday led the congregation in ACK Diocese of Embu in a song.

The DP, who had visited the church addressed the people before requesting for his songbook to lead the hymn.

Joined by the choir, local leaders, and Second Lady Dorcas Rigathi, the congregation enthusiastically sang along with him.

Gachagua is waiting to know his fate with the Senate, which will hear his impeachment charges on Wednesday and Thursday.

He was successfully impeached in the National Assembly on Tuesday last week, with 281 MPs voting in favour, 44 against and only one abstaining.

All the same, Gachagua urged Kenyans to maintain peace regardless of the outcome of his case.

Here is the hymn he led, translated from Kikuyu:

Trust in the Lord in this journey.

And know well without a doubt.

Even when you face trouble, don't fear.

You are in His hands (Lord) and you will not be defeated.

**

Don't listen to people.

When you have power, just know well.

You are allowed to let people know.

Jesus is the saviour of the people.

**

Those who were ahead in the journey,

How are they yet they faced earthly battles,

There were difficulties in the journey,

And happiness and other luxuries of this earth.

**

All the time, they were guided by the spirit,

Full of faith, Until they won the earthly battles.

**

Stop mixing, the earthly powers and the powers of the Holy Spirit.

You cannot win I beseech you.

Let the journey continue.

And in your heart know very well, what does the earthly mind want?

The earthly mind wants to ensure you have no life and your body is turned into soil

**

Our friend look at Jesus, even by his name he was a sufferer,

But he overpowered the temptations and the sufferings so that we can reach our Father's home. 

**

Those who refused the truth and they did their way along the journey,

They have no life in our Father's home,

Where they are being awaited by fire
