Refrain:
Wewe Prototol Breaker (To You Protocol Breaker)
Nimenyanyua mikono nikupe sifa (I have lifted my hands to give You praise)
Wewe Prototol Breaker (To You Protocol-Breaker)
Nakushukuru, nakushukuru (I give thanks, I thank You) (Repeat)
Kama ningefuata protocol ya dunia (If I had followed the world’s protocols)
Wangeniweka nafasi ya mwisho (They would have placed me in last place)
Ila nilifuata wewe Protocol Breaker (But I followed You protocol-breaker)
Umeniweka nafasi ya mwanzo (And You have placed me in first placed)
Nainua mikono ishara nimesurrender (I have lifted my hands in surrender)
Magoti napiga kwako, nanyenyekea (I have prostrated myself before You)
Umenirejesha kati nilipotea (You restored me when I was lost)
Nakushukuru, nakushukuru (I give You thanks)
(Refrain)
Wakinipanga hivi, hivi, hivi (They ordered me this way)
Unanipanga vile, vile, vile (You ordered me that way)
Wakiniwazia hivi, hivi, hivi (They planned for me one way)
Unaniwazia vingine (But You planned for me other ways)
Nikiwa nawe, sihitaji mwingine (With You, I need no one else)
Tangu nikupate, siko vile vile (Since I found You, I am no longer the same)
Umenivusha daraja zingine (You have crossed me through many bridges)
Ambazo mimi singevuka kamwe (That I would never have crossed by myself)
Refrain:
Hebu nieleze, kwa sauti ya upole (Please explain me with a gentle voice)
Akili zangu zikuelewe (For my brain to understand)
Rudia, rudia, kama vile kwa mtoto (Repeat again, like you would to a child)
Nisisahau, neno lako (So that I may not forget Your Word) (Repeat)
Bwana nieleze, kile kilichokufanya (Lord explain to me the reason)
Ukaja hapa wakati ule (That brought You here long ago)
Yote ya mbinguni, hukuyaona kitu (The glories of heaven were nothing)
Ukaja ishi na viumbe vyako (You chose to come to live with Your creation)
(Refrain)
Walipokusulubisha, pale msalabani (When they crucified You on that cross)
Hakuna aliyekusaidia (No one helped You)
Ukafa kifo cha uchungu na aibu (You died in pain and shame)
Kwa dhambi iliokuwa yangu (For the sins that were mine)
(Refrain)
Zidi kunionesha ubaya wa dhambi (Continue to show me the futility of sin)
Najua ndio iliyokuuwa (I know that is what led You to the cross)
Na nigeukapo na kutenda dhambi (And when I turn to sin)
Hebu nirudi kwa fimbo yako (Let me be corrected by your rod)
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)
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)

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:
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)

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)
