(Sung in Swahili)

Ee Baba tumekuja kwako (Father we have come before you)
Twaomba uturehemu (We ask that You have mercy on us)
Watoto wako, tu miguuni pako (Your children, we are at Your feet)
Tunalia kwa ajili ya mateso (We weep because of our affliction)
Tunayaona, tunapitia dunia hii (That we see, and encounter on earth)
Majirani wametugeuka sisi (Our neighbors have turned against us)
Hata mandugu wamekuwa maadui (Even our brothers have become enemies)
Wanatutesa kila usiku, kila kuchao (They persecute us daily)

Kimbilio letu ni wewe (Our refuge is You)
Kimbilio pekee, ni wewe (The only Refuge, is You)

Refrain:
(Bwana) Mwenye uwezo sisi twakutambua ([Lord] who is able we acknowledge You)
Tukilemewa tunajificha kwako (When we are overcome, we seek refuge in You)
Wewe ni mwamba, na si tu chini yako (You are the Rock, and we are beneath You)
Ukitamka jambo linatendeka (When You speak a word, it is done)
Hata mapepo yote hutawanyika (Even all the demons flee)
Nyosha mkono, Mtuliza Bahari (Stretch Your hand, Calmer of Storms)

Kuna wengi wapepoteza wapendwa wao (There are many who have lost their loved ones)
Kwa sababu ya chuki (Because of hatred)
Wapo wengi wamepoteza mali yao (There are many that have lost their wealth)
Kwa sababu ya wivu (Because of jealousy)
Kuna wengi wamepoteza mifugo (There are many who have lost their livestock)
Wamepoteza mimea yao shambani (They have lost their crops)
Na biashara yao ikaangushwa (And their businesses failed)

Kimbilio letu ni wewe (Our refuge is You)
Kimbilio pekee, ni wewe (The only Refuge, is You)

Siku ya kiyama inarejea (The Judgement Day is near)
Maswali mengi yataulizwa pale (Many questions will be asked there)
“Nilikupa jirani umtunze, mbona ukamtenda?” (“I tasked You to watch over your neighbor, why did you turn against them?”)
Miti na mawe ndio mashahidi (The trees and rocks will stand witness)
Paa la nyumba yaku litakukana (The roof of your house will denounce you)
Likishuhudia, uliyoyatenda (While witness your actions)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Kalenjin, A Hymn)

Jerusalem, Jerusalem…

Mitei emet arak ne tilil kot (There is a holy place in Heaven above)
Ole mi boiboiyet ne bo iman (Where true Joy dwells)
Tiendos che kigesor ak kolos’ Laitoriat (The righteous sing and praise the King)
Nenyi torornatet ak teegisto (All Glory and honor belongs to Him)

Ongebe emonin, kayanichu (Believers, let us go to this place)
Ak kimutu alaka, kebe tugul (And bring others, to go with us)
Ongisub Yetindet ne immutech kipsengwet (Following Jesus, who takes us to heaven)
Si tun kemeny tugul ak Kwandanyo (That we may all live with our Lord)

Jesu ko Lapkeiyet, eng Kipsengwet (Jesus is the Heavenly Light)
Mamitei mesundei eng’ oloto (There is no darkness there)
Mi boiboiyet kityo, amu mimitei me-et (There is only Joy, for there is no death)
Ama mi chalwokto, emonoto (And there is no more sin, in that land)

Tun kemitei tugul taitab aruet (Soon we shall we be gathered before the Lamb)
Kilachi ngoro-ik che leelachen (Adorned in white robs)
Kilosu Jehovah, ah kegeere togennyi (Praising Jehovah, seeing Him face to face)
Nenyi torornatet, ak teegisto (Glory and Honor belongs to Him)

Mitei emet arak ne tilil kot (There is a holy place in Heaven above)
Ole mi boiboiyet ne bo iman (Where true Joy dwells)
Jerusalem, Jerusalem…

Ongebe emonin, kayanichu (Believers, let us go to this place)
Ak kimutu alaka, kebe tugul (And bring others, to go with us)

Kebe tugul (To go with us) x?

Dua (Prayer) Lyrics by Alice Kimanzi

(Sung in Swahili)

Hali hii yangu (My current situation)
Isiwe nafasi ya kuto msifu Mungu (Should not be a time to forget to praise God)
Mahali nil’ofika pasi ninung’unishe moyo (Where I have reached, to not let my heart complain)
Daima nimshukuru (But forever to thank Him)
Nafsi yangu ‘sisahau (My self to not forget)
Yale yote ametenda (All that He has done for me)
Kwa upendo wake mwema (Through His Great Love)
Kanizingira kwa neema (And surrounding me with Grace)
Moyo wangu, vuta heri kwa subira (My soul, find joy in waiting)

Refrain:
Atajibu dua langu (He will answer my prayer)
Kwa njia Yake, na wakati Wake (In His way and in His time)
Atajibu dua langu (He will answer my prayer)
Kwa njia Yake, na wakati Wake (In His way and in His time)
Moyo tulia (Be still my heart)

Najua njia hii si rahisi (I know that this is not easy)
Natambua mlima huu umezidi (I understand that this mountain is difficult)
Uwezo wangu (Beyond my capability)
Egemeo ni Yesu tu (The fortress is only Jesus)
Na hata giza likija na mashaka pia (Even if darkness and doubts come)
Yazibe macho yangu (To veil my eyes)
Bado nitazidi, kwani Ye aliahidi (I will still continue, for He promised)
Nasadiki Neno lake kweli (And I believe His Word to be true)

(Refrain)

Kwani Yeye anakuona (For He sees you)
Tena Yeye anakujali (moyo tulia) (And He also cares for you (Be still my heart))
Anahisi uchungu wako (He senses your pain)
Tulia, tulia (Be still, be still)

(Refrain)

Yesu Kwetu Ni Rafiki (What a Friend we Have in Jesus) (Tenzi 9) Hymn Lyrics by Msanii Music Group

(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn)

Yesu kwetu ni rafiki (What a friend we have in Jesus)
Hwambiwa haja pia (All our sins and griefs to bear)
Tukiomba kwa Babaye (What a privilege to carry)
Maombi asikia (Everything to God in prayer)
Lakini twajikosesha (O what peace we often forfeit)
Twajitweka vibaya (O what needless pain we bear)
Kwamba tulimwomba Mungu (All because we do not carry)
Dua angesikia (Everything to God in prayer)

Una dhiki na maonjo (Have we trials and temptations?)
Una mashaka pia (Is there trouble anywhere?)
Haifai kufa moyo (We should never be discouraged)
Dua atasikia (Take it to the Lord in prayer!)
Hakuna mwingine Mwema (Can we find a friend so faithful)
Wa kutuhurumia (Who will all our sorrows share?)
Atujua tu dhaifu (Jesus knows our every weakness)
Maombi asikia (Take it to the Lord in prayer)

Je, hunayo hata nguvu (Are we weak and heavy laden)
Huwezi kuendelea (Cumbered with a load of care?)
Ujapodharauliwa (Though your friends despise you)
Ujaporushwa pia (Though they forsake you?)
Watu wange kudharau (Though you are despised)
Wapendao dunia (By worldly people)
Hukwambata mikononi (In his arms he’ll take and shield you)
Dua atasikia (You will find a solace there)
