(Sung in Swahili)

Sitaabudu miungu mingine, (I will not worship other gods)
Iliyo na mifano yeyote (Fashioned in any way)
Sitapiga magoti yangu nisujudu (I will not bow down to worship)
Nitakusanya sadaka zangu ziwe manukato (But will bring my offering as incense)
Kwa Yesu, astahili sifa (To Jesus, who deserves praise)

Chorus:
Naleta sadaka za sifa kwako Bwana (I bring my sacrifice of praise to You Lord)
Heshima na mamlaka zipokee (Receive all the glory and honor)
Mtakatifu, mtakatifu, nakuita mtakatifu (Holy, Holy, I call you Holy)
Oh Yesu, wewe mtakatifu (Oh Jesus, You are Holy)

Pokea sifa na utukufu (Receive praise and glory)
Na heshima ni zako Bwana (And all honor belongs to you Lord)
Pokea sifa na utukufu (Receive praise and glory)
Na heshima Bwana (And honor, Lord)

Bridge:
Uh, Oh Yesu, wewe mtakatifu (Uh…, Oh Jesus you are Holy)

Yelele Nyumbani (Yelele, Home) x4

Jesu lapkeiyetab sobondanyu (Jesus is the light of my soul)
Ng’ang’wa imandang’ung’ (Teach me Your righteousness)
Kweng’wa oret ne abune (Lead me in the road I travel)
Asi matekta mesundeito (That troubles may not overwhelm me)
Ye kait sait ne kaimen emet (When it is time for the land to awaken)
Ak ang’etat ak aboi .?. (And I rise to .?.)
Kona awo aru komnye (Lead me until it’s time to sleep)
Ak iriba eng’ mesundeito (And protect me from the darkness)

Chorus:
And I say, you are the sun of my soul
You are the light of my life
Leading me all the right way home
Jesus, you are the song of my soul
Yelele Nyumbani (Yelele, Home) x4

Tebi kabota eng’ kemoi tugul (Abide with me through the night)
Jesu inegitena kat koech (Jesus, protect me until dawn)
Kona ang’eet achamege (Grant me to awake alright)
Si achobok ayai boisieng’ung (That I maybe able to continue your work)
Jesu, ii Lapkeiyetab kipsengwet (Jesus, you are the light of heaven)
Mami mesundeita eng’ oldang’ung’ (There is no darkness in your realm)
Iluuchi nguno orennyu (Lead me today in my way)
Agoi tun aitu taing’ung’ (Until the time I come before your presence)

(Sung in Swahili)

Usinione nimechakaa unitilie dharau (Don’t look at my tatters and despise me)
Mimi binadamu, umesahau? (I am also human, have you forgotten?)

Unaishi kwa dhamani, (You live in riches)
Mimi naishi kwa imani (I live on faith)
Mbele zako mimi sina haki, (Before you I have no rights)
Mbele zake mimi mwenye hadhi (But before Him, I am valuable)
Fahamu kuwa Mola ndiye aliniumba mimi na wewe (Remember God is the creator of all)

Refrain:
Mimi mwanake, usiku nitalala (I am His son, I will sleep in peace)
Mbele zake maulana, sote tuko sawa (For before the Lord, we are all equal)

Ulinipuuza mie, eti sifai kuwa nawe (You wrote me off as useless)
Uliniona mie, eti hati ya kula nawe (I was not worthy to eat with you)
Sahani moja tupotiliwa chakula (From one plate when we were served)
Nyumba moja tulipofaa kuishi pamoja (In one house as we were meant)

(Refrain)

Wema wake taji la upendo juu yangu (His love and mercy are my crowns (?))
Ndani yake nilikuwa na uwoga wote uwe kimya (Before Him, all my fears are silent)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)

Naomba uniweke kwako ndani (I pray that you keep me in You)
Niwe imara kama milima Zayuni (That I may be strong like Mount Zion)
Hauta anguka kukiwa na mawimbi (That will Neither be fallen by storms)
Wala kutikiswa kukiwa na adui (Nor be shaken by enemies)
Kila kitu ni wewe (Everything is you)

Refrain:
Kila kitu changu ni wewe (Everything that is mine, is yours)
Ninaye mwimbia, ni wewe (The one I praise, is you)
Maishani mwangu, nimeamua ni wewe (In all my life, I have decided that It’s you)

Mi nimeshangazwa na matendo yako Baba (I’m amazed by your works Father)
Ulivyonichukua na kunitunza kama wako (The way you took me and made me yours)
Sa mi ni wako, Kwangu kwako (Now I am yours, what is mine is yours)
Ukanipenda, ukaniita mwana wako (You loved me, and called me your son/child)

(Refrain)

Juu, chini, kushoto kulia (Up or down, left or right)
Sijamwona kama wewe (I have not seen anyone like you)
Sa mi ni wako, Kwangu kwako (Now I am yours, what is mine is yours)
Ukanipenda, ukaniita mwana wako (You loved me, and called me your son/child)

(Refrain)
