(Languages: Kiswahili, English)

Refrain:
Nitauimba wimbo huu wimbo ulio wa kusifu, roho nzito ya huzuni uwe huru
(I will sing this song of praise, to free heavy and sorrowful hearts)
N’taendelea kwa sifa iliyobeba siri, kwamba kwa Yesu kuna uhuru
(I’ll continue with the praise carrying the secret that in Jesus there’s liberty)
Nitalizima sauti zinazovuta watu, kwa shimo la kukata tamaa
(I will silence the voices that drag people to the pits of giving up)
Kwa wimbo mtamu wa furaha nakuja upesi, kwa ajili yangu na we
(In the sweet joyful song I come quickly for you and me)

Ni wimbo ambao umebeba ujumbe kwa pamoja katika usiku mkuu
(It is a song that has carried the word in the heavy night)
Na wimbo huu waweza tia matumaini mwanadamu anapoanguka
(And this song can give hope to a human when they fail)
Ni wimbo mtamu unaweza fungua minyororo kwa waliofungwa awali
(It is a sweet song that can break the chains of those who were bound)
Waweza kuwa na hakika kupitia wimbo njia yako ya kupitia
(Through the song, you can have assurance on your journey)

(Refrain)

Don’t tell me the world is a hopeless old place
And I might as well just give in
To the doom and gloom life’s a waiting room
For the blow that’ll do us all in
I can’t sympathize when before my eyes is a hope shining bright as day
I gotta follow that song that keeps drawing me home
With my feet dancing all the way

I’m gonna sing just as long as it takes for a song
To make sad and heavy spirits free
I’m gonna keep making new music that carries the secret that Jesus is Liberty
I’m gonna turn off the sounds that’ll drag people down
To the pit of despondency
With the sweet happy tune
He is coming soon for His children like you and me (Repeat)

With the sweet happy tune
He is coming soon for His children like you and me

I’m gonna sing just as long as it takes for a song
To make sad and heavy spirits free
I’m gonna keep making new music that carries the secret that Jesus is Liberty
I’m gonna turn off the sounds that’ll drag people down
To the pit of despondency
With the sweet happy tune
He is coming soon for His children like you and me

With the sweet happy tune
He is coming soon for His children like you and me

(Sung in Kinyarwanda)

Bwo intambara zazag’ umusubirizo (When wars break against me over and over)
Nabonaga kwambuka ari ihurizo  (And I am besieged on all sides)
Isoko y’indirimbo yari yarakamye (When the source of my songs had run dry)
Umurab’ ukambwira ko wantereranye (And the wave whisper that you’ve forsaken me)

Erega nubwo ntakubonaga waruhari (You were there even though I couldn’t see you)
Ahubwo nuko nari naguy’ isari (But it is because I had perished)
Mana waraje maz’ unkora ku mboni (God you came and opened my eyes)
Urandamir’ unkura mu usoni (Rescued me took away my shame)

Refrain:
Uri umwami utajya ubura uko ugira (You are the Lord who never fails)
Ni wowe ujya umpanagura amarira (You are the one who wipes my tears)
Uhor’ umpisha aho umwanzi atagera (You keep me away from the enemy’s reach)
Abakwiringiye bos’ urabimana (You protect those that trust in You)

Refrain 2:
Uri Yhaweh naya mashimwe n’ ayawe (You are Yahweh and all these praises are yours)
Unkuye mu mwijima unyomoy’ inguma (You took me out of the dark and healed my wounds)
Yesu we umbambiye ihema (Oh Jesus, you set sacred tent for me) (Repeat)

Ubu sinkiri imbata y’ubwoba (I’m no longer a slave to fear)
Umwami anshyize mu mababa (The Lord put me in His tent)
Uburinzi bwe burushije imbaraga (His protection is more powerful)
Inkubi y’ibindega (Than my failures)

Urongeye unyeretse imbabazi (You have showed me Your mercy again)
Unyeretse n’ubushobozi (You have shown me Your might)
Umbohoye ingoyi nta kiguzi (You broke my chains without a price)
Unkuye kuri uyu musozi (And taken me out of this mountain)

(Refrain + Refrain2)

Unkuye mu mwijima unyomoye inguma (You took me out of the dark and healed my wounds)
Yesu we umbambiye ihema (Oh Jesus, you set the tabernacle for me) (Repeat)

Olodumare (Creator) Lyrics by Joel Lwaga

(Languages: Kiswahili, Pidgin, English)

Hey, Baba Olodumare (Creator) my one and only
The Giver of Life, equal to none
Hapa nimesimama coz uko na mimi (I stand here because You are with me)
You never let me go
Mipaka yangu umeitanulia mbali (You have expanded my territory)
Even sky sio limit kwa hii kibali (Even the sky is not the limit on this favor)
Hata haters wanashangilia kwa undani (Even the haters are amazed)
Umewawin hao (For you have “won” them)

Pre-Refrain:
Sina kingine mimi najivunia, zaidi yako Baba
(I have nothing else that I am proud of, than You Father)
Ndio maana niku tuli nimetulia, we hunanga baya
(That is why I am calm, for You have no bad)
Hata wale wananionea husuda, shabaha yao mbaya
(Even the ones who envy me, their aim is crooked )
Watanipataje? Mwamba umenifunika
(How would they get me? The Rock has covered me)
Bure wata tire (They will tire for nothing)

Coz I know that

Refrain:
You got me wey You got me
You got me wey You got me, Papa
You got me wey You got me
That is why I’m never, never falling down (Repeat)

Nikiteleza Baba unaniinua (When I slide, Father You lift me)
Hujanitupa wala huanijutia (You have not given up, You do not regret me)
Kama ni toba zimejaa gunia (If it is repentance, they fill the sack)
Ukweli ni kwamba tu umenihurumia (The truth is that I have had mercy on me)
Ningekulipa nini kama ungetaka? (If you demanded payment, how could I pay You?)
Nilipe jema moja moja? (Do I pay good, one by one?)
Maana hata hii pumzi niyayovuta (For even this air that I breathe)
Hakuna dollar ingetosha (There is no money that could purchase it)

(Pre-Refrain + Refrain)
