(Sung in Kiswahili and some Lingala)

Repeat: Ana mipango mema, anakupenda (He has good plans, He loves You)
Mteule, nina ujumbe kutoka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu (Chosen one, I have a message from Almighty God)
Mipango ya fanaka, ya kukupa tumaini, eh (Plans for your success, to give you hope)
Kaba haujazaliwa, alikujua (Before you were born, He knew you)
Usifadhaike, wewe, ni mboni la jicho lake (Do not despair, you are )
Ye si binadamu, adanganye (He is not man that He should lie)
Aliyeanza kazi nzuri, atamaliza (The one who began good work, will complete it)

Call-and-Response: Atakuinua kwa mkono wake wa ushindi, eh (He will lift You up with His victorious hand)

Refrain:
Amini, Amini! (Believe, Believe!)
Amini, Amini!! (Believe, Believe!)
Uaminifu wake, wadumu milele (His faithfulness, endures forever)
Amini (Believe!) (Repeat)

Neno la Bwana ni kweli, na linasema hivi (The word of the Lord is true, and declares this)
Hata mashaka yawe pande zote, hukatii tamaa (Even if troubles are all on all sides, you don’t give up)
Neno la Bwana ni kweli na linasema hivi  (The word of the Lord is true, and declares this)
Hata utupwe chini, huangamizwi (Even if you are struk down, you will not be decimated)

Wanaomtegemea Mungu, ni kama mlima Sayuni (Those who depend upon the Lord are like Mt. Zion)
Hawatikisiki (They will not be shaken)
Waomsubiri Bwana, ni kama mlima Sayuni (Those who wait upon the Lord are like Mt. Zion)
Hawatikisiki (They cannot be shaken)

(Refrain)

Wanaomtegemea Bwana, ni kama mlima Sayuni (Those who depend on the Lord are like Mount Zion)
Hawatikisika kamwe, milele na milele (They will never me shaken)
Milele, na milele iye (Forever and ever)
Hawatikisika kamwe (They will never be shaken)

Wamtumainio Bwana, ni kama mlima Sayuni (Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion)
Hawatikisika kamwe, milele na milele (They will never me shaken)
Milele, na milele iye (Forever and ever)
Hawatikisika kamwe (They will never be shaken)

Esengo to esengo te, Esongo! (Are we rejoicing or not, We rejoice!)  (Repeat)
Toko bine laye nanko, Nanko! (We must dance before God, we must!) (Repeat)

Ushuhuda (Testimony) Lyrics by Dj Kezz ft Msanii Music Group

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Tuliona hatuoni njia (We could not see the way)
The road ahead was dark and long
Tulilia tukisema “Bwana tusaidie” (We cried saying “Lord help us!”)
We thought the storm would drown us
Lakini alitushika mkono (But He held our hand)
He held us through every night
Tulipotetemeka moyoni (When we trembled within)
His grace became the Grace we needed

Refrain:
Look at us now
Huu ni ushuhuda (This is a testimony)
Tulidhani yote hayangewezekana (We thought all was impossible)
You wrote a good story, Lord
With a beautiful ending
Umetupitisha juu ya mawimbi yote (You have safely carried us through all the storms) (Repeat)

Safari ilikuwa ya majaribu (The road was full of trials)
Mountains felt like they were closing in
Tulidhani tutafika mwisho  (We thought we had reached the end)
But He kept reminding us, “I am here”
Kila hatua ilikuwa ngumu (Every step was difficult)
Yet his mercies covered every tear
Tukasimama kwa ahadi zake  (We stood on His promises)
His promises kept drawing us nearer

(Refrain)

Sasa tukiangalia nyuma  (Now looking at the past)
We see His footprints in our pain
Kila jaribu tulilopitia (Every trial we passed through)
Became a bridge He used to lift us
Mafiga ya maisha yalitupiga (Life beat us up)
But He steadied us again and again
Na leo tuko hapa tukisema (And today we are here saying)
His faithfulness has never changed

(Refrain)

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Refrain:
Hatua, hatua zangu (Steps, my steps)
Zinaongozwa, na Bwana  (Are led by the Lord)
Hatua, hatua zangu (Steps, my steps)
Zinaongozwa, na Bwana  (Are led by the Lord)
Nikitaka kusogea, sogea (If I want to advance)
Ananisogeza (He advances me)
Nikitaka kupandisha panda (If I want to climb)
Ananipandisha (He lifts me up)
Nikitaka kusogea, sogea (If I want to advance)
Ananisogeza (He advances me)
Nikitaka kupandisha panda (If I want to climb)
Ananipandisha (He lifts me up)
Panda, panda, panda, panda  (Climb up, climb, climb)
Hatua! (Step!)

Kumbe hatua zangu, zinaongozwa na wewe (Truly my steps are led by You)
Mikakati yangu, inapangwa na wewe (My strategies, are planned by you)
Kila stepu stepu, natembea na wewe (I walk all my steps with You)
Kila mahali, natembea na wewe (I walk with you in every place)
Huku na huko, natetembea na wewe  (Here and there, I walk with You)
Kibali chako, uwepo wako (Your approval and your presence)
Neema yako, kibali chako   (Your grace and your favor)
Tembea nami x2 Usiniachilie x2  (Walk with me, do not leave me)
Nikaanguka, nikajikwaa  (To fall, to stumble)

(Refrain)

Ni nani awezaye kuhesabu nywele za kichwa changu na aseme!
(Who can count the number of hairs on my head, tell me!)
Ni nani awezaye kuhesabu hatua za Mungu aendapo aseme!
(Who can count the steps of God where He goes, tell me!)
Amenichora kweye vitanga vya mikono yake x2  (He has drawn me in the palms of His hands)
Ameandika jina langu mikoni mwake  (He has written my name on His hands)
Ameandika na siku zangu kwa damu yake  (He has written my days by His blood)
Nikiongozwa na nani? Nikiongozwa naye  (Led by whom? Led by Him)
Nikitembezwa na nani? Ninatembe na yeye  (Walking with who? I am walking with Him)
Baraka zangu, mikononi mwake (My blessings are in His hands)
Amani yangu, mikononi mwake (My peace is in His hands)
Nainuliwa, mikononi mwake (I am lifted by His hands)
Hatua, hatua zangu (My steps, my steps)
Zinaongozwa, na Bwana  (Are led by the Lord)

Akikanyaga, nami nakanyaga pale (Where He steps, there I step)
Akikosha, nami ninakosha pale (Where He cleans, there I clean)
Akikanyaga, nami nakanyaga pale (Where He steps, there I step)
Alama kaniachia x2  (His scars are the testimony)
Nasonga, nasonga (I move, I advance)

(Refrain)

Uhai Wangu Ni Deni (My Life is a Debt) Cover by Daniel Sifuna

(Sung in Kiswahili, a Hymn)

Mwaka mzima, kwa sasa umepita (A whole year has now passed)
Na Mungu wetu ametulinda salama (And our God has kept us safe)
Ni watu wengi waliolala zamani (There are many who have already slept)
Wakipumzika, wakingoja hukumu (Resting, waiting for judgement day)(Repeat)

Refrain:
Uhai wangu, uhai wangu ni deni (My life, my life is a debt)
Ninatakiwa nimfanyie Mungu kazi (I am required to do work for the Lord)
Japo nilale nikiwa naye Mungu (When I sleep when I am with God)
Nitapumzika, usingizi wa heri (I will have a peaceful rest) (Repeat)

Najiuliza, mimi najiuliza (I ask, I ask myself)
Je, maisha yangu yakikoma hapa leo? (If my life ends today?)
Na nikilala kimya kaburini (And I sleep quietly in the grave)
Je deni langu, litalipwa na nani? (Who will repay my debt?) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Kila mmoja, aipime kazi yake (Everyone should evaluate their work)
Ni roho ngapi, zimevutwa kwa Bwana? (How many hearts, have been brought to the Lord?)
Kama hakuna chochote alichofanya (If there is nothing that has been done)
Itakuwaje, kwa siku ya hukumu? (How will it be, in the day of judgement?)(Repeat)

(Refrain)
