(Sung in Swahili)

Nilikuwa natafuta ukweli wa maisha yangu
(I had been looking for the truth of my life)
Sasa mie nauliza, nianze wapi eh
(And I ask myself, where do I start?)
Marafiki wangu wote wamenikimbia ahe
(All my friends have fled from me)
Jehova Nissi nalia nihurumie
(Lord my Banner I cry, have mercy on me)
Uwezo, uwezo, wa kusimama imara juu ya neno lako
(Ability, Capability to start firm on Your Word)
Uwezo, uwezo, wa kusimama imara juu ya neno lako
(Ability, Capability to start firm on Your Word)

Nilikuwa natafuta kipenzi cha roho yangu
(I had been looking for the Love of my heart)
Sasa mie nauliza, nianze wapi eh
(So now I ask, where do I start?)
Maumivu machungu mengi yamenijaza mie eh
(Pain and suffering has filled me)
Jehova Nissi nalia nihurumie
(Lord my Banner I cry, have mercy on me)
Uwezo, uwezo, wa kusimama imara juu ya neno lako
(Ability, Capability to start firm on Your Word)
Uwezo, uwezo, wa kusimama imara juu ya neno lako
(Ability, Capability to start firm on Your Word)

(Verse 1)

Nipe uwezo, uwezo, wa kusimama imara juu ya neno lako
(Grant me the ability to stand firm on Your Word)
Uwezo, uwezo, wa kusimama imara juu ya neno lako
(Ability, Capability to start firm on Your Word)

Uwezo, uwezo, wa kusimama imara juu ya neno lako
(Ability, Capability to start firm on Your Word)
Uwezo, uwezo, wa kusimama imara juu ya neno lako
(Ability, Capability to start firm on Your Word)

Wa kusimama imara juu ya neno lako eh
(To stand firm on Your Word)
Wa kusimama imara juu ya neno lako eh
(To stand firm on Your Word)
