Yesu aki come mi nadunda (I will rejoice on Jesus’ return)
Mziki wa Yesu mi natunga (I will sing songs of Jesus)
Iwe praise ama worship ama rumba (Be it Praise, worship or Rhumba)
Tunga, tunga (I will compose, compose)
Shetani akicome ni nadunga (If Satan comes I will defeat Him)

Zaliwa, zaliwa(Born again, born again)
Ndani ya Yesu nimezaliwa (In Jesus, I am born again)
Kuwa hapa leo ni majaliwa, majaliwa (To be hear is by Grace, by Grace)
Nitalia, nitalia, ukiniwacha Yesu mi nitalia (I will cry, if Jesus You leave me)
Ukiniwacha Yesu mi nitaliza, nitalia (Jesus if You leave me, I will cry)
Sitaki kuwa solo (I do not want to be alone)
Shetani ana bore (Satan is a bore)
So ni Yesu nina follow (So I follow Jesus)
Na shetani ana go low low low (And the devil is defeated)
Na shetani ana go low low low (The devil is defeated)
You love, is higher than the mountain tops
Your strength, a river that won’t ever stop
Your mercy, is endless and covers every wrong
You are always and forever God (Repeat)

We’d be drifting on the ocean, lost (Ocean, lost)
Your love has pulled us from the miry clay (miry clay)
The rock of ages who will never change

Refrain:
Umeinuliwa juu, Umeinuliwa juu (You are lifted Up, You are lifted up)
Umeinuliwa, umeinuliwa (You are lifted, You are lifted)
Umeinuliwa juu (You are lifted up)
Umeinuliwa, umeinuliwa (You are lifted, You are lifted)
Umeinuliwa juu, Umeinuliwa juu (You are lifted Up, You are lifted up)
Umeinuliwa, umeinuliwa (You are lifted, You are lifted)
Umeinuliwa juu (You are lifted up)
Kama yule nyoka wa shaba alivyoinuliwa (Like the iron snake was lifted)
Msalabani ukainuliwa, Juu ya ngome na mamlaka (You were lifted on the cross, over all strongholds and authorities)
Wote wanakutazama, Wanapata tumaini (All who look at You, receive hope)
Tunakuinua Bwana, Umeinuliwa juu (We lift You Lord, You are lifted high)
(Refrain)
Kumbukeni mwizi, msalabani aliomba (Remember the thief who prayed at the cross)
Ee Yesu nikumbuke, utakapofika paradiso (“Oh Jesus remember me in Paradise”)
Akatubebea huzuni, Mateso hata magonjwa yetu (He carried our sorrow, our persecution and our sicknesses)
Juu ya mafalme na mamlaka, Umeinuliwa juu (Over all kingdoms and powers, You are lifted high)
(Refrain)
Tumeketi nawe, katika mkono wa kulia (We sit on Your right Hand)
Pamoja naye Baba yangu, na roho mtakatifu (Together with my Father and the Holy Spirit)
Naungana na Makerubi, na mesarafi nikisema (Joining with the Cherubim and the Seraphim sating)
Uhimidiwe, uinuliwe, uliyenilipia gharama yote (Be blessed, be lifted up, You who paid all my debts)
(Refrain)
Zaidi ya wafalme, zaidi ya miungu yote (More than kingdoms, more than other gods)
Umetukuka umesifika, ee Mungu umeinuliwa (You are exalted and praised, Oh God You are lifted high)
Nami leo nakuinua, nainua mikono yangu (I lift You up today, I lift my hands)
Ndio maana nakuimbia, ee Umeinuliwa juu (That is why I sing to You, Oh You have been lifted high)
Kutwa nzima imepita (A whole day has gone by)
Nikiwa sina hata cha mfukoni (With nothing in my pocket)
Naumia hakika (I hurt)
Kwani hata marafiki hao siwaoni (For I do not see my friends)
Kwenye wingu la giza (In this cloud of darkness)
Sijaoata hata faraja tumboni (I do not had anything to it)
Koroboi ndio stima (A tin lamp is my source of light)
Ninamwuliza yule unayotoka moyoni (I look to the one who owns my heart)
Maisha haya kizunguzungu (This life is disorienting)
Ni wapi tena, sina pa kutorokea (I do not have a place to hide)
Kwenye giza sioni nuru,(In the darkness I do not see the light)
Ni nini chanzo, nabaki nikijiendela (The source of my struggles)
Bridge:
Kama namwona mamangu (I see my mother)
Uchochole ndo wimbo na ndo kikwazo (Poverty is a song and an obstacle)
Ni pekee yangu (I am all alone)
Kwa hakika naangaziwa sasa (Truly I am exposed)
Machozi ndo yangu (The tears are mine)
Hata kunivika cha chini ndo langu pato (My income is in menial labor)
Eh Mola wangu (Oh, my God)
Refrain:
Eh, Mwenyezi mimi, mwenyezi (Oh Almighty, Almighty)
Nasubiri bado, mwenyezi (I am still waiting, Almighty) x3
Nangoja bado, mwenyezi (I am still waiting, Almighty)
Nasubiri bado, mwenyezi (I am still waiting, Almighty) x3
Nangoja kwako, mwenyezi (I await You Almighty)
Mbona mawazo yangu (Why is it than my thoughts)
Ndo hivyo katu sichoki kufikiria? (Do not settle?)
Masikini moyo wangu (My poor heart)
Tena mzigo wangu mzito (Carrying a heavy burden)
Sina hata wakunisaidia (Without anyone to help me)
Naja kwako Mola wangu (I come before You my God)
Maumivu yangu yalokolea (My pains that are unending)
Toka zama sichoki kusota (From years before I have been poor)
Dili zangu zakungojea (Waiting for ‘deals’ to come to fruition)
Mara napata, saa ingine nakosa (Sometimes I’m successful, sometimes I fail)
Nyumbani nategemea (I am looked upon at home)
Wamechoka wa kunikopesha (My creditors have tired of me)
Wazidi niombee wasikate tamaa (May they continue praying for me, not to give up)
Kama kufunga so mwanzo ni mtindo (Fasting is not a one-day thing, its my habit)
Mpaka nashindwa nini ndo chanzo (Until I cannot see the source of my troubles)
Ndo maana nimeandika huu wimbo (That is why I write this song)
Matatizo yasokosa likizo (Troubles that do not end)
Kilio ndio wangu mtindo (My tears a constant present)
Ni maji yamefika kwa shingo (I’m drowning)
(Bridge + Refrain)
Kupambana kidumu, sichoki(But I will not tire of struggling)
Sala zangu nitume, sichoki (I will not be tired of praying)
Siwasikizi wengine, sichoki (I will not be tired of listening to others)
Ipo siku n’tapata (For my day will come)
