I’m gonna sing,
When the Spirit says sing
I’m gonna shout, pray and obey
The Spirit of the Lord
Where are bound?
Bound for Caanan’s land
I’m bound for Canaan’s land
Hush, Hush, (Oh Sister, what’s the matter)
Somebody’s calling my name
(Cause my Jesus, is calling everybody)
Oh my Lord, Oh my Lord what shall I do?
Hallelujah once I’m in his care
I’m inner my Savior’s care
Swing low, sweet Chariot
Coming forth to carry me home
Oh when the saints go marching in/band begins to play
Oh Lord I want to be among the number
Oh when the saints go marching in/band begins to play
I wanna go to heaven
Just look for me in heaven
Shout for joy in heaven
I wanna go to heaven
Lord I keep busy praising my Jesus/
serving my master/Working for the Kingdom
Ain’t got time to die
Hm I’m praising my Jesus/
I’m serving my master/Working for the Kingdom
Ain’t got time to die
Now I want you to get out of my way
Let me praise my Jesus
Out of my way, I want to praise my Lord
If I don’t praise Him
The rocks gotta cry out
Glory and Honor x3
Ain’t got time to die!
Kamba za mauti zilinizunguka mie (The chains of death surrounded me)
Mafuriko ya maovu yakanitia hofu (The flood of evil made me afraid)
Kamba za mauti zilinizunguka mie (The chains of death surrounded me)
Mitego ya mauti ikanikaribia mimi (The trap of death neared me)
Niliona shida,Niliona taabu (I saw trouble, I saw suffering)
Nikakuita Bwana wangu na wewe ukaitika (I called you my Lord, and you answered)
Kumuacha Bwana sio kuzuri Baba/Mama yangu (Leaving Him is not good dad/mum) x2
Nilimuacha mimi, nilipata shida/taabu (I left Him and suffered/troubled) x2 (Repeat)
Nikakimbia kimbia kwake Yesu/Baba (So I ran to Jesus/Father) x2
Huu, ni mwaka wa urejesho (This is the year of restoration)x2
Mambo, mambo yabadilika (Things are being made new)x2 (Repeat)
Chorus:
Naona mambo yakibadilika (I see things transforming)
(Yabidilika kwa wema wako) (They transform because of your goodnes) (Repeat)
Mambo, mambo yabadilika (Things are changing)x2
Walio chini sasa, naona wakiinuliwa (I see the downtrodden lifted up)
Walio nyuma sasa, naona wakiwa mbele (I see the last becoming first)
Wanaodharauliwa, naona heshima zao (I see honor for the despised)
Wanaolia sasa, machozi yanapanguzwa (The tears wiped for the grieving)
Huu ni mwaka wa urejesho (This is the year of restoration)x2
Uliyepoteza ndoa, naona ikirejeshwa (Your marriage was broken, I see restoration)
Uliyepoteza watoto, naona wakirejeshwa (You lost your children, I see their return)
Uliyepoteza nyumba, naona ikirejeshwa (You lost your house, I see it’s restoration)

Uliyepoteza heshima, naona ikirejea (You lost your honor, I see it restored)
Kwani mambo yabadilika (Because things are being remade)
(Chorus)
Majina yaenda kubadilika (Names will be transformed)x2
Wanaoitwa tasa, naona wakiitwa mama (The one called barren, I see you called mother)
Wanaodharauliwa, naona heshima zao (The one despised, I see you honored)
Wanaoitwa duni, sasa wainuliwa (The one called nothing, I see you lifted)
Walio pekee yao, waenda pata wachumba (The one alone, I see you partnered)
Kwani mambo, mambo yabadilika (As things are being made new)x2
Wanaolia sasa, machozi wanapanguza (The grieving are wiping their tears)

Wasio na furaha, wapata furaha yao (The joyless are getting their joy back)
Kwani mambo, mambo yabadilika (Because things are being made new)x2

Pokea jina jipya, maana majina yabadilika (Receive a new name, as you are being made new.)
Refrain: Naitwa mbarikiwa (Call me blessed)
Tukuite nani nani leo (What shall we call you today?)
Jipe jina, jipe jine (Name yourself)
Na wewe waitwa nani leo (And you, what are you called?)
Baba yangu tukuite nani (My father/Brother, what shall we call you?) Jipe jina, jipe jine (Name yourself)
Refrain:
Uliniumba nikuabudu (You created me to worship you)
Kwa ajili yako mimi naishi (Because of you I’m alive)
Pasipo wewe singekuwepo (Without you I would not be here)
Mimi ni kazi ya mikono yako (I am the work of your hands)
Baba ninaona nikuabudu (Father I prefer to worship you)
Maana matendo yako ni mengi sana (Because your works are many)
Ishara zako Baba ni nyingi mno (Your signs are many)
Maana wewe ndiye Mungu wangu (Because you are my God)
Uliniumba niseme matendo yako (You created me to tell of your actions)
Wewe ndiwe Mungu wa miungu (You are the God of gods)
Wewe kimbilio letu na ngome yet (You are our fortress and help)
Hakuna aliye kama wewe (There is no one like you)
Maneno ya kusema yananikosa ( I am lost for words)
Maana matendo yako ni ya ajabu (Because your works are wondergul)
Maana ishara zako ni nyingi (Because your signs are many)
Kwa macho nimeona makuu yako (With my eyes I have seen your greatbess)
Masikio nimesikia matendo yako (My ears have heard your works)
Ndio maana nimetambua (That is why I know)
Ya kwamba niliumbwa nikuabudu (That I was created to worship you)
Mungu wa milele (Everlasting God)
Refrain:
Ombi langu Mungu wangu: (My prayer my God:)
Naomba nikusikie (I pray that I will listen to you)
Na moyo wangu wote, (With all my heart,)
Niishie ushuhuda wangu (to live according to my testimony)
Ili yote iwe sawa na moyo wangu (That all may be well with my soul)
Nipe moyo wa kutii, nifanye mapenzi yako (Grant me an obedient heart, to do your will)
Moyo uliyo haki, moyo uliyo safi (A just heart, a clean heart)
Moyo wa kunyenyekea, moyo wa upendo (A humble heart, a loving heart)
Nifundishe njia zako, nisikutende dhambi (Teach me your ways, that I may not sin against you)
Nipe moyo wa kutii nifanye mapenzi yako x4 (Grant me an obedient heart, to do your will)
(Refrain)
Nifundishe njia zako, nisikutende dhambi x4 (Teach me your ways, that I may not sin against you)
