(Sung in Swahili)

Siku moja nilikuwa na shida fulani (One day I had a problem)
Nikaona niombe usaidizi (I decided to ask for help)
Kwa bosi fulani rafiki yangu (To a certain man, who is my friend)
Tumejuana naye kwa muda mrefu (We’ve known each other for a long time)
Simu yake ilikuwa iko mteja (His phone was off)
Kwa hivyo nikaenda kwa ofisi yake (So I went to his office)
Nikaambiwa nitoe kitambulisho (I was asked to show my I.D.)
Na nikaangaliwa kama niko na bomu (And was searched for weapons)
Wakaniuliza kama nina appointment (Then they asked me if I had an appointment)
Nikasema sina huyo ni rafiki yangu (I said I don’t, He’s my friend)
So wakasema “No, huwezi ona bosi” (So they said, “No, you can’t see the boss,”)
“Ni lazima, ni lazima uwe na appointment” (“You must have an appointment”)

Chorus:
Asante Baba, (Thank you Father) I like your office
Hakuna appointment nahitaji (I don’t need an appointment)(repeat)
So any day, anytime, anywhere I go
I just knock, knock, knock. Naingia (And enter.)

Kwa ofisi yako, hakuna masoja (There are no guards in your office)
Hata sekretari pia hakunanga (There is also no secretary)
Hakunanga diary ati lazima tupange (There is no diary to arrange)
Any day, any time is a meeting time
Kwa hivyo, nikiwa na shida (So if I have an issue)
Siwezi ngoja nipate appointment (I don’t have to wait for an appointment)(repeat)

(Chorus)

So any day, anytime, anywhere I go
I just knock, knock, knock. Naingia (And enter.)

(Reuben Kigame’s Version)

(Sung in Swahili)

Verse 1:
Baba yetu wa mbinguni tunaleta sifa kwako
(Our Father in heaven we bring praises to you)
Wewe hulinganishwi na yeyote duniani
(You cannot be compared to anyone in the world)
Mbingu na nchi zakusifu, jua na mwezi vyakutukuza
(Heaven and earth praise you, the sun and the moon worship you)
Wanyama wa pori, ndege wa angani (Wild animals, birds of the air)
Sifa tele kwako Bwana (Multitudes of praises to you Lord)

Mbingu na nchi zakusifu, jua na mwezi vyakutukuza
(Heaven and earth praise you, the sun and the moon worship you)
Wanyama wa pori, ndege wa angani (Wild animals, birds of the air)
Sifa tele kwako Bwana (Multitudes of praises to you Lord)
(Repeat)

Chorus: *Hoiye is a sound (of praise)
Hoiye! Sifa zetu, Hoiye! ni zako zote
(Hoiye, Our praises belong to you alone)
Hoiye! Usifiwe, Hoiye! Milele Bwana
(Hoiye be praised forever Lord) Repeat

Verse 2:
Tukiomba kwako Baba, sikio lako li wazi kwetu
(When we pray to you Father, your ears are open to us)
Macho yako yatuona; sisi watoto wako
(Your eyes see us; your children)
Ulimtoa Yesu, mwana wako wa pekee
(You gave your only son Jesus)
Alikufa msalabani; sasa tuko huru
(To die on the cross; and now we are free)

(Sung in Swahili)

Mwambie Baba shida zako maana yeye atazitatua
(Tell father your troubles for he will solve them)
Ukiwaambia majirani ye, masimango yatakufuata
(If you tell your neighbors, gossip will follow you)
Mwambie Yesu upitiayo maana yeye ayajua yote
(Tell Jesus your troubles for He knows all)
Alishinda kifo Masiya, nini pia asoweza shinda
(The Messiah defeated death, what will thwart him?)

Chorus:
Mwambie, mwambie, mwambie Baba shida zako
(Tell him, tell him, tell the Father your troubles)
Mwambie, mwambie, yote alikusikiza
(Tell him, tell him all he listens)
Mwambie, mwambie, mwambie Baba shida zako
(Tell him, tell him, tell the Father your troubles)
Mwambie, mwambie, Yeye atazitatua
(Tell him, he will solve them)

Ee mama unajisumbua, washika tama una huzuni
(You woman hold your chin in depression)
Unakosema juu ya shida zako we huwaambia majirani
(When you tell of your troubles you tell your neighbors)
Usiende kwa waganga, hawatosimamisha ndoa yako
(Don’t go to the witch-doctors: They won’t help your marriage)
Mwambie Yesu shida zako, waganga wataivunja
(Tell Jesus your troubles, Witch-doctors will break it)

(Chorus)

Usiwaambie walimwengu, yakusumbuayo ndugu yangu
(Don’t tell the world whatever troubles you my brother)
Yesu pekee ndiye aweza kuitatua shida yako
(Jesus only would help solve your troubles)
Mbona wasumbuka bure ukitafuta ushauri mwenzangu
(Why do you trouble yourself looking for solutions?)
Hebu soma hiyo Biblia, ina jawabu kwa kila jambo
(Read that Bible, it has a solution for every question)

(Chorus)

Chorus:
Hosanna, Haleluya, Hosanna (x4)
(Hosanna, Hallelujah, Hosanna)

Eh mataifa yote yamekusanyika kusema Hosanna
(All nations have convened to say Hosanna)
Mwana wa Daudi ndiye yule yuaja kwa mapendo wake (?)
(The son of David is the one who is coming with his love)
Yuaja (Kwa ujira wake), Ye huyu (mbarikiwa)
(He is coming (for his harvest), He is the one (The Blessed One))
Yuaja (kwa jina la Bwana), na tuseme Hosanna
(He is coming (in the name of the Lord), so we say Hosanna)

Nikitazama ndege wa angani; hawapandi wala kuvuna
(When I look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap)
Na wewe Baba wa mbinguni; huwalisha kila siku
(And you Father of Heaven; you feed them everyday)
Na mimi najua utanilisha na kunivisha
(And I know that you well feed and clothe me)
Ndiposa ninasema, Hosanna
(That is why I say, Hosanna)
Ndiposa ninasema, Hosanna
(That is why I say, Hosanna)

Yeye ndiye (Yesu!), Yeye ndiye (Yesu!) x2
(He is (Jesus!), He is (Jesus!))
Twasema (Hosanna), Twasema (Hosanna) x2
(We say (Hosanna!), Twasema (Hosanna))
Cheza, cheza….
(Dance, dance….)

(Sung in Swahili)

Nawatangazia mganga wangu Yesu, Ayeyeyeye
(I declare to you, that my healer is Jesus)
mganga wa kweli eh, njoni niwaonyeshe
(The true healer he, let me show you)

Chorus:
Mimi nimemwona (mganga), nimemwona (mganga)
(I have seen Him (the physician), I have seen Him (the physician)
Nimemwona (Mganga wa waganga ni Yesu).
(I have seen Him (the Great Physician is Jesus)

Nasema nimemwona. Mganga wa waganga
(I say I have seen the Great Physician)
Anayeinamiwa na waganga wote hata na wachawi pia
(That is worshipped by all physicians and even witch-doctors)
Wanaleta madawa yao hata na hirizi
(They bring their medicine, and even their charms)
Na wanatangaza maovu yote walotendea wanadamu
(And they confess the evil they did to men)
Huyu mganga, kazaliwa Bethlehemu
(This Great Physician was born in Bethlehem)
Kalelewa na  na zarati la ajabu ni mwana wa bikira
(And came by a great miracle – he is the son of a virgin)

(Chorus)

Jina la huyu mganga, kwa kweli lanishangaza
(The name of this Physician, is awe inspiring)
Kwa maana linalo nguvu nyingi kama mganga mwenyewe
(Because it has as much power as the Physician Himself)
Lilipotajwa na Petero, Tabitha akafufuka
(When it was said by Peter, Tabitha was raised from the dead)
Kiwete njiani akatembea kwa ajili la hilo jina
(The cripple by the road walked because of that name)
Paulo na Sila wakasifu kwa hilo jina
(Paul and Silas worshiped by that name)
Milango ya gereza ikafunguka kwa jina la mganga Yesu
(The doors of the jail opened because of the Physician Jesus)

(Chorus)

Nguo za huyu mganga, hata nazo zina nguvu
(This Physician’s clothes, have power too)
Mama aliyevuja damu alipenya katitati ya umati
(The woman with bleeding passed through the crowd)
Nguvu za upinde wa nguo, damu ikakatika
(Through the power of the hem, the bleeding stopped)
Yesu akamwambia imani yako ndiyo imekuponya
(Jesus told her that her faith was what healed her)
Baada ya kusulubiwa, nguo za huyu mganga
(And after his cricifixion, this Physician’s clothes)
Hazingepasuliwa kwa bei yake ikapigiwa kura
(Because of its value would not be torn; instead they cast lots for it)

(Testimony)

(Chorus)
