Yenza ngentando yakho (That You work according to Your purpose)
(Siyacela Baba) Wenze ngentando yakho (We ask You Father, to work according to Your purpose)
Sihleli thina ngokungazi (We sit without knowing)
Iinto zangomso asizazi (We don’t know what tomorrow holds)
EnguWe wedwa onkwazi (Only You know)
Yenza ngentando yakho (We plead to You to do Your will) (Siyacela Baba) Wenze ngentando yakho (We ask You Father, to work according to Your purpose)
Kwa semikhihlaneni yethu (In our days of sickness)
Nakuko ukuphila kwethu (And in our days of good health)
Kude kufik’ukufa kwethu (Until the day we depart this life)
Yenza ngetando yakho (Do according to Your will)
Wenze ngentando yakho (Work according to Your purpose)
(Second Verse)

(Notes: the English version here is a direct translation of the Luganda lyrics which in turn is a transliteration of the hymn “I am so glad that our Father in Heaven/Jesus Loves Even Me”)
Nsanyukira ekigambo kino (I am glad at this Word)
Yesu Mukama atwagala nyo (That says Jesus loves us dearly)
Alina bingi ebisanyusa (There are many that make me glad)
Ekyo kisinga nti nze nkwagala (And one outstanding thing, is that I am His beloved)
Refrain:
Anjagala! Anjagala! (He loves me! (Jesus) loves me!)
Nga kitalo Okunjagala! (It is amazing how He loves me)
Anjagala, Olw’ekisa kye (He loves me, because of His Grace)
Nange era mwagala (And I love Him too)
Wemba nyonona nemwerabira (When in sin and I forget about him )
Yesu tandeka kubula ddala (Christ does not allow to be lost in the world)
Ampita mangu okumweyuna ye (He calls me to reconcile)
Era anjijukiza okwagala kwe (And reminds me of His great love)
(Refrain)
Bwe nditunulira ekitiibwa kyo (When in His Glory I see)
Ndiyimba ntya bwe siyimba bwentyo? (I will sing like never before)
Nyimba emirembe n’emirembe (And I will keep singing )
Yesu kiki ekyakunjagaza nze? ((Amazed at how Jesus dearly loved me)
(Refrain)
Anjagala era mwagala ye (He loves me and I love Him too)
Yakka mu nsi olw’okutufiririra (He lights up the earth because of His love)
Okwagala kwamuleeta ku muti (It is love that led him to the Tree)
Yesu atwagala ffe bwagazi (And Jesus Loves us for his loves’ sake)
