(Sung in Swahili)

(Languages: English, Swahili)

Ninapo lala na amka (When I sleep and when I rise)
I’m not weary
Only you my God, You sustain me
Mbele zako n’ko sawa (Before You I am safe)
You make me stronger
Wanifaa, wanitosha nakuenzi (You fit me, and satisfy me, I adore)

Out of miry clay Lord You picked me
Ukanifinyanga, ukanijenga (You molded me and built me)
Only you can fill my void
Only you can satisfy
Only you I wanna praise
Only you make me stronger
Kwa kinywa changu wacha nikuimbie (From my mouth let me sing for You)

Refrain:
Umenitosha umenitosha, umenitosha Baba (You’ve satisfied me x2, You’ve satisfied me Father)
Umenitosha umenitosha, umeutosha moyo wangu (You’ve satisfied me, You’ve satisfied my heart)

Refrain:
Mungu wangu ni Mkuu (My God is bigger)
Bigger than all my problems
Bigger than all my fears
Bigger than everything (Repeat)

Mungu wangu ni Mkuu (My God is bigger)
Aliyeniokoa, aliyenikomboa toka mautini
(The one who saved and Redeemed me from death)
Anayeketi kwenye kiti cha enzi (The One who sits on the throne forever)
Ametukuka kote duniani (He has been praised over all the earth)
Heaven and earth bow down before Him
Heaven and earth declare His Glory
Heaven and earth, Heaven and earth

(Refrain)

Mungu wangu ni Mkuu (My God is bigger)
Mungu wa Daudi na wa Danieli (God of David and of Daniel)
Aliyefunga midomo ya simba (The One who shut the lions’ mouths)
Mungu wa Yohana, na wa Petero (God of John/James and of Peter)
Aliyetembea juu ya maji (The One who walked on water)
Heaven and earth bow down before Him
Heaven and earth declare His Glory
Heaven and earth, Heaven and earth

(Refrain)

Nijue pendo lake na (More of His love and)
Wokovu wake kamili (More of His saving fullness see)

Zaidi, zaidi (More, more)
Nimfahamu Yesu (More about Jesus)

Wokovu wake kamili (More of His saving fullness see)

Nataka nione Yesu (More about Jesus let me learn)
Na nizidi kusikia (More of His holy will discern)
Anenapo kitabuni (Spirit of God, my teacher be)
Kujidhihirisha kwangu (Showing the things of Christ to me)

(Refrain)

Nataka nifahamu (More about Jesus, in His Word)
Na nizidi kupambanua (Holding communion with my Lord)
Mapenzi yake nifanye (Hearing His voice in every line)
Yale yanayompendeza (Making each faithful saying mine)

Nataka nikae naye (More about Jesus on His throne)
Kwa mazungumzo zaidi (Riches in glory all His own)
Nizidi kuwaonyesha (More of His kingdom’s sure increase)
Wengine wokovu wake (More of His coming, Prince of Peace)

(Sung in Swahili)

Wateule (The chosen ones)
Tulioweka imani kwa Yule (That have placed our faith on the One)
Aliyetufia (Who died for us)
Wateule (The chosen ones)
Tulioweka imani kwa Yule (That have placed our faith on the One)
Aliyetufia (Who died for us)
Sauti ya shaka, sauti yasema (The voice of doubt says)
Hatutasimama, hatutaendelea (We shall not stand, we shall not succeed)
Na sisi twasema, tutasimama (But we say, we shall stand)
Mungu yuko upande wetu (For the Lord is on our side)
Mkristo simama! (Believer, stand firm!)

Refrain:
Fungua Macho (Open Your eyes)
Uone Jeshi la malaika (And see the army of angels)
Limetuzingira (Surrounding us)
Fungua Macho (Open Your eyes)
Uone Jeshi la malaika (And see the army of angels)
Tutashinda vita (We shall win the war) (Repeat)

Wateule (The chosen ones)
tunaomuishia Yule, anayetupenda (Who live for the One who Loves us)
Wateule (The chosen ones)
tunaomuishia Yule, anayetupenda (Who live for the One who Loves us)
Mawazo ya shaka, mawazo yasema (Thoughts of doubt say)
Hatutashinda, hatutaendelea (We shall not overcome, we shall not advance)
Na sisi twasema, tutashinda (But we say, we shall overcome)
Mungu yuko upande wetu (For God is on our side)
Tutasimama! (We shall stand!)

(Refrain)
