Mungu mkuu (Almighty God)(Repeat)
Kwa neno lako Bwana (By the word of your mouth Lord)

Uinuwae wanyonge (You lift the weak)
Wawaketisha na wafalme (And sit them amongst kings)
Hakuna uwezaye tenda ila wewe (No one can do this except you)
Nikitazama maisha yangu (When I look at my life;)
Ulikonitoa Yesu wangu (From where you’ve brought me my Jesus)
Nina sababu ya kusema, ni wewe pekee (I have a reason to say, Only you)

Nani mwenye uwezo (Who has the might)
Nani mwenye rehema tele (Who has the abundant compassion)

From the first day I met you
Sijawahi lala njaa, Nyumba umeishughulikia (I’ve never slept hungry, I have shelter)
From the first day I met you
Sijalala na kiu, umekuwa maji ya uzima (I’ve never slept thirsty, you’re my living water)
From the first day I met you
Sijapigwa na baridi blanketi umenipa (I’ve not slept cold, you’ve covered me)
From the first day I met you
Umenipenda na mambo yangu mengi (You’ve loved me the way I am)
Ulinipenda kwanza kabla nikujue (You loved me before I knew you)
Ulinipenda kwanza kabla nikupende (You loved me before I loved you)
Nilipokujua hapo nikatambua milele nitakuinua(Once I knew you, I knew I’d praise u forever)
Pendo la kishua, nami naamua nitakupenda pia (An everlasting love, I resolve to love you)
Refrain:
It is just a way, a way to show how much I love you
Ni njia ya kusema jinsi mimi ninavyo kupenda (Same translation)
Adui wewe umekuwa kizuizi maishani (Enemy, you’ve become an obstacle)
Adui wewe wataka nikose mimi taji ya uzima (Enemy, you want me to miss the crown)
Adui wewe ulishindwa miaka iliyopita (Enemy, you’re already defeated)
Kalivari aliposema yamekwisha (In Calvary when He said “it is finished”)
Eloi eloi lamasabakithani (“Eloi, Eloi, Lamasabakthani”)
Mawe walitupa, mate kukutemea (He was beaten, and spit on)
Mkuki ubavuni, maji yakamwagika (His ribs were pierced, and water flowed out)
Damu ilivuja, ili nipate uzima (He bled, that I may be saved)
Thank you for the life that you gave to us
Thank you for your will to guide us
Thank you for your word to direct us
Oh without a doubt you are the God for us
In the morning time; you are the dawn
In the evening time from dusk till dawn
We salute you ’cause you are the don
And for all the things you’ve done
Refrain:
A brand new life he gives
To my friends and family
Now am living in victory
Now misery is far from me
Bianule bianule (Come and see/hear)
Ife chukwu merem (What the Lord has done for ne)
Agama e Nye ya ekene (I will thank Him)
Agama si ya imela (I will extol your goodness)(Repeat)
I ask myself what kind of love is this?
You be blessing me now I live in bliss
Count my many blessing then I make the list
Oh, what an unending list
I take some time to reminisce
Of the many blessings I would have missed
If I didn’t have you right in my mix
Thank your for loving me
(Refrain)
Bridge:
House on a hill, Diamond rings
Golden beads that he gave to me
Life eternally, gave me everything
I be counting my blessing and that’s for real

Imela onye nwe m (Thank you our Creator)
Imela Chineke, Nna Imela o (Thank you God, I thank you) (Repeat)

Noba ndihamb’emfulen’ Wethunzi lokufa (Though I go through the valley of death)
Angiy’ukwesaba (I shall not fear)
Wen’unami, Uhlala undonwabisa (For you’re with me, you give me joy)
(Refrain)
Uyangihola, uyangihola, ho hola (He leads me)…
Noma sengiyaphi, umusa nothando luhamba nam (Love and mercy follow me)
Uvalo nokwesaba, Alukh’empilweni yami (Worries and fear are shall not)(Repeat)
