Nimeyasema yasiyofaa kwako (I have said what is not right before You)
Nimeyatenda yasiyofaa (I have done what is not right)
Baba nimekosa, nihurumie (Father I have sinned, have mercy on me)

Nimeyona yasiyofaa, tena (I have watched what I shouldn’t)

Ninaleta kanisa lote kwako (I bring before You the Church)
Ninawaleta na viongozi wake (I bring before You also its leaders)

Ninawaleta watanzania wote (I bring Tanzanians before You)
