Mbeleni naendelea (I’m pressing on the upward way)
Ninazidi kutembea (New heights I’m gaining every day)
Mombi uyasikie (Still praying as I’m onward bound)
Ee Bwana unipandishe (Lord, plant my feet on higher ground)
Refrain:
Ee Bwana uniinue (Lord, lift me up and let me stand)
Kwa imani nisimame (By faith, on Heaven’s table land)
Nipande milima yote (A higher plane than I have found)
Ee Bwana unipandishe (Lord, plant my feet on higher ground)
(Refrain)
Sina tamaa ni nikae (My heart has no desire to stay)
Mahali pa shaka kamwe (Where doubts arise and fears dismay)
Hapo wengi wanakaa (Though some may dwell where those abound)
Kuendelea naomba (My prayer, my aim, is higher ground)
(Refrain)
Nataka nipandishwe juu (I want to scale the utmost height)
Zaidi ya yale mawingu (And catch a gleam of glory bright)
Ninaomba nifikishwe (But still I’ll pray till heaven I’ve found)
Ee Bwana unipandishe (Lord, lead me on to higher ground)
Vizazi hadi vizazi (Generations upon generations)
Vyakufahamu wewe (Recognize You)
Uliye Mungu wa kale (The Ancient of Days)
Na uliye Mungu wa leo (And the Present God)
Kazi zako zaonyesha (Your work showcase)
Ukuu wako wewe (Your might)

Refrain:
Kweli wewe, wewe ni Mungu (Truly You, You are God)
Kweli wewe, wastahili (Truly You deserve all)
Umeketi juu sana (You are sitted up high)
Kwenye kiti cha enzi (You are sitted on the throne)
Umejivika utukufu (You have clothed Yourself in Glory)
Wewe ni Mungu (You are God)
Nikitazama matendo yako (When I behold Your works)
Na nguvu zako wewe (And Your power)
Yadhihirika machoni mwangu (It is certain in my eyes)
Wengine wote ni miungu (That all others are gods)
Uumbaji wako waonyesha (Your creations showcase)
Hekima yako wewe (Your own wisdom)
Watukuzwa kati ya mataifa (You are glorified among the nations)
Milele Bwana (Forever Lord)(Repeat)
(Refrain)
Sifa zako zi kinywani mwangu (Your praises are on my tongue)
Kwa jinsi ulivyo wewe (For how You are)
Kwa kusanyiko la watu Wako (In the midst of people)
Nikuinue Mungu wangu (To lift You, my God)
Nionyeshe heshima zako (To show Your honor)
Malangoni mwako Wewe (In your gates)
Nakutukuza nakuinua Ewe Bwana (I also praise and lift You up, Oh God) (Repeat)
Sioni haya kwa Bwana (I’m not ashamed of my Lord)
Kwake nitang’ara (In him I will be glorified)
Mti wake sitakana (I will not deny His Tree)
Ni neno imara (It is the true word)
Refrain:
Msalaba ndio asili ya mema (The Cross the beginning of good)
Nikatua mzigo hapo (I will rest my burdens there)
Nina uzima, furaha daima (I have life, and everlasting joy)
Njoni kafurahini papo (Come, let us be joyful there)
Kama kiti chake vivyo (Just like His throne)
Ni yake ahadi (Are His promises)
Alivyowekewa navyo (That he has been given)
Kamwe, havirudi (That will never be in vain)
(Refrain)
Bwana wangu, tena Mungu (My Lord, and god)
Ndilo lake jina (That is His name)
Hataacha roho yangu (He will not abandon my spirit)
Wala kunikana (Neither will He forsake me)
(Refrain)
Atakiri langu jina (Then will he own my worthless name)
Mbele za Babaye (Before his Father’s face)
Anipe pahali tena (Appoint my soul a place)
Mbinguni nikae (In the new Jerusalem)
Bwana ni nani atakayekaa katika hema yako (Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?)
Bwana ni nani atakayekaa katika hema yako (Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?)

Nimekuja hapa mbele zako Bwana, kukupea sifa (I have come before You Lord, to give you praise)
Ninajua kwamba niko mwenye dhambi, naomba unisamehe (I know that I am sinful, I pray that You forgive me)
Utukufu wako, hauna kifani (Your Glory, cannot be measured)
Huruma na upendo wako, kwa walimwengu (Your mercy and love towards us)
Hulinganishwi na chochote, Papa wetu (Cannot be compared to anything, Our Father)
Unapea mvua wabaya na wazuri (You grant rain to the evil and the good)
Na mwangaza wa jua, kwa wabaya na wazuri (And the light of the sun, to the evil and the good)
Hubagui Baba (Father You do not segregate)
Watu wengi duniani wamekata tamaa (A lot of people on earth have given up)
Wanadhani wakija kwako utawafukuza (They think that You will chase them if they come before You)
Wanasema wewe ni Mungu wa walio wema tu (They say that You are the God of only the good)
Wanasema wewe ni Mungu wa matajiri tu(They say that You are a God of the rich)
Wanasema wewe ni Mungu wa mataifa yen
ye nguvu (They say that You are the God of mighty nations)
Bridge:
Kumbe wamekosa, mwenye kuwapa ukweli (But they have lacked someone to give them the truth)
Kumbe hawajui, wewe ni mwenye huruma (But they do not know, that You are full of mercy) (Repeat)
Niko hapa kukupa sifa zako Bwana (I am here to give You Your praises Lord)
