Mimi nasonga tu mbele (I am moving onwards)
Mashida sijali na wewe (I do not worry about difficulties)
Kama ndege iko tu sawa (As the bird of air is taken care of)
Basi pia Mungu ako na wewe (The Lord is also with You)
Mungu amekusikia (God has heard You)
Imani zidi kushikilia (So Keep the faith)
And when (?) you believing Him fear
Mulungu yuko na yuko hiyo (God is there and so)
Refrain:
Mulungu (Ha! ah! ha!) (the Name of God) x?
Mi nataka kukufanana (I want to be like You)
Kwako kila kitu salama (For in You all is well)
Kwako kila kitu (In You all things) x2
Iko maana mi ni na kazi na (Is there so I have work and)
Bado mi nitakusifu (I will keep praising You)
Juu we pekee ni mwaminifu (For You alone are faithful)
Juu we pekee ulinisafisha dhambi zote (For You alone cleansed me of my sin)
Mimi nitakusifu (So I will praise You)
(Refrain)
Mungu ni faya, Mungu ni moto! (God is fire/hot)
Mi sina haya, kusifu hata kaa mi ni msoto (I am not afraid to praise even when broke)
Mungu upendo, na habadiliki (God is Love, and He does not change)
Kwa kila mienendo anajali naye anabariki (He cares for every situation and He blesses it) (Repeat)
Refrain:
Ombea adui yako aishi siku nyingi (Pray that your enemy has a long life)
Ili unapobarikiwa, ajionee kwa macho (That when You are blessed, they’ll see it)
Hamna haja kabisa, afe kabla hajaona (There is no need for them to die before they witness)
Baraka ambazo Mungu, ameweka mbele yako (The blessings that God has placed before you) (Repeat)
Ameharibu pesa nyingi (They have used a lot of money)
Akipeleka kwa waganga (Taking it to the witch-doctors)
Ili nisifanikiwe (That I should not succeed)
Na bado ninaendelea (But I still continue)
Mahirizi akapewa (They were given charms)
Ayalete kwa duka yangu (To bring to my shop)
Badala ya kufunga duka (But instead of closing my business)
Wateja wanakua wengi (My customers multiplied)
(From the top)
Walisema hutapata kazi (They said you will not get a job)
Na sasa una kazi (But now you are employed)
Wakasema hutajenga (They say you will not build)
Nyumba na sasa una nyumba (A house, now you have a home)
Walisema hutaoa (They said you shall not marry)
Na sasa naona una watoto (I see now you have children)
Maadui mkae kimya (Be silent my enemies)
Yesu atupigania (For Jesus fights for us)
(Refrain)
Walisema hutapata kazi (They said you will not get a job)
Na sasa una kazi (I see you now employed)
Wakasema hutajenga (They said you will not build)
Naona sasa una kwako (I see now that you have a home)
Walisema hutapata mtoto (They said you will not get a child)
Na sasa umepakata (And now You have one)
Maadui mkae kimya (Enemies be silent)
Yesu atupigania (For Jesus fights for us)
(Refrain)
Vita zetu si Wakristo (Our battles, believers)
Sio vita vya mwili na damu (Is not of the flesh and blood)
Vita tunavyopigana (The battles we fight)
Wapendwa ni wa kiroho (Beloved, is of the Spirit)
Wakuseme wakusimange (Whether they gossip about you or mock you)
Endelea kuwaombea (Continue praying for them)
Alicho bariki Mungu (For what God blessed)
Hakuna wa kukilaani (There is no one to curse it)
Nilimgoja Bwana kwa subira (I patiently waited for the Lord)
Akaniinamia akasikia kilio changu (He leaned down and heard my cries)
Akanipandisha toka shimo la uharibifu (He lifted me from the pit of destruction)
Toka udongo wa utelezi (From the miry clay)
Akaisimamisha miguu yangu mwambani (He stood me on a Solid Rock)
Akaziimarisha hatua zangu (And strengthened my steps)
Akatia wimbo mpya kinywani mwangu (He put a new song in my mouth)
Ndio sifa zako Mungu wetu (That is why we Praise You, our God)
Kwa yale umetenda nitaimba wimbo huu (For all You’ve done, I will sing this song)
Kwa yale umenitendia, nitaimba wote wasikie (For all You’ve done for me, I will sing for all to hear)
Umetenda ya ajabu maneno yananikosa (You have done great things, that words fail me)
Umenitendea mengi mno, hayawezi hesabika (You have done much for me, that it cannot be counted)
Refrain:
Wewe ni Mungu (You are God)x2
Unajibu maombi (You answer prayers) x2
U Mwaminifu (You are Faithful) x2
Wewe ni Mungu (You are God)x2 (Repeat)
Bridge:
Umenitoa kwenye shimo la utelezi (You lifted me from a miry pit)
Kaniweka juu ya mwamba imara (And placed me on a solid foundation)
Aibu kaondoa, vazi la heshima ukanivisha (You removed my shame, and clothed me with respect)
Uzuni kaondoa furaha yako kanipa (You removed my sorrow and granted my Your Joy)
Yale yale ya ujana maji ya moto n’kaukurupukia (The same youth is like hot water I jumped on it)
Leo hii wawili watoto wanaiangalia (Today two children look to me)
Napambana sana na changamoto kuwatafutia (I struggle with challenges to provide for them)
Nikikosa, mzazi mwenzangu anakuja moto (If I lack, my co-parent argues)
Matusi kunishushia (Verbally insults me)
Natumia nguvu kutafuta — jasho laloesha shati (I use energy to search — sweat drenches my shirt)
Chini nikiziba ufa, juu linang’oka bati (When I repair a crack on the floor, the roof leaks)
Zile ngo ngo kwa ndugu jama (The knock knock to my friends)
Zishaishanga mazima (mie) (Have completely stopped)
Miondondo mlezi wa wana (I have no help as the children guardian)
Lakini zali(zari?) sina (miee) (But I have no relief for myself)
Ama sauti yangu kwa mungu Baba, haisikiki? (Is it because my prayers to Father God are not heard?)
Tuseme dua zangu mbingu ya saba, hazifiki? (Shall we say my prayers to the seventh heaven, do not arrive?)
Response: Futa chozi, futa (Wipe the tears, wipe them)
Usiulize nalia nini (Do not ask why I cry)
Nahisi riziki yangu imepigwa pini (I feel like my provision have been stopped)
Iyeee lele lelile le
Mungu Baba nione (Father God, see me)
Nikiwa kazini akili zote zipo nyumbani (When at work, all my attention is at home)
Nikiwa nyumbani wakusalishe, sina amani (When at home they do not greet me(?), I have no peace)
Nakazana sana, kimziki (I struggle with my music)
Kweli napambana, kubahatisha riziki (Truly I struggle in trying for provision)
Wanaomba mabaya wenye roho za choyo (They pray ill for me those with selfish hearts)
Na ndugu zangu wakiwemo (My brothers included)
Napata fupa mi kibogoyo, Mungu ameninyima meno (I get a bone, but I am toothless, God has withheld teeth for me)
Nikitazama watoto wangu, inje ya ndoa wamezaliwa (When I look at my children, they were born out of wedlock)
Kwenye imani ya dini yangu, wanasema nishakosea (In my religion’s faith, they say that I have sinned)
(Refrain)
Ama sauti yangu kwa Mungu Baba (Is it because my voice to my Father God)
Tuseme dua zangu mbingu ya saba, hazifiki? (Shall we say my prayers to the Seventh heaven do not arrive?)
Response: Futa chozi, futa (Wipe my tears, wipe them away)
Kuna muda naishiwa nguvu (There are times I lose strength)
Elimu sina kichwa mbumbumbu (I have no education, my brain is empty)
Naganga ganga njaa (I struggle with hunger)
Mungu wangu lini langu fungu? (My Father, when do I receive my portion?)
Roho wako mwenyezi (Your Spirit, Almighty)
Amenifanya jinsi nilivyo (Has made me the way I am)
Pumzi yako, uhai wangu (Your breath, my life)
Umefufua mifupa mikavu (You have resurrected the dry bones)
Uhai umenipa Baba yangu (You have given me life, My Father)
Umetuliza dhoruba (You have calmed the winds)
Wakati wa mawimbi (In the times of storms)
Refrain:
Moyo wangu na ukuiniue wakati (May my heart lift you every time)
Nafsi yangu ikuhimidi kila saa (My soul to praise You every hour) (Repeat)
Egemeo Baba yangu umbali huu (My Refuge, this far You’ve brought me)
Ninashukuru, Mwamba (I am thankful, the Rock)
Dunia, mbingu ni mwashahidi (Heaven and earth are witnesses)
Umbali huu ni wewe Bwana wa mabwana (This far You have brought me Lord of Lords)
Kwa makubwa, madogo, umbali huu (In great and little things, thus far)
Ni wewe Bwana wa mabwana (It is because of You Lord of Lords)
Na mengi, machache, umbali huu (In many and in the few, thus far)
Ni wewe Bwana wa mabwana (It is because of You Lord of lords)
(Refrain)
Bridge:
Ninakuinua, inua aa (I lift You up, Lift up)
Umetenda mema, mema Bwana (You have done Good, Good Father)
Ni wewe (wewe) Shamma (You are always there)
Wewe ni Jehovah Shamma (You are the Lord who is there)
Ni wewe (wewe) Jireh (You are the Provider)
Wewe ni Jehovah Jireh (You are the Lord our Provider)
Ni wewe (wewe) Shamma (You are always there)
Wewe ni Jehovah Shamma (You are the Lord who is there)
Na bado wazidi kuwa Mungu umekuwa (And You still remain the Same God) x2
