(Sung in Kiswahili)

Atakaye kuwa na wema (Whoever wants to have Goodness)
Ahitajie kuheshimiwa (The one who desires respect)
Basi aende ayatafute kwa (Then let them go and seek it by)
Kutenda mema bila kusita (Doing good deeds without hesitation)
Asiyajali macho ya watu (Let them not care about people’s eyes)
Maana yao sio muhimu (For their opinion are not important)
Bali ajali jina nimuitalo (But let them care about the name I call them)
Kwani mi ni Mungu aliyemuumba (For I am the God who created them) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Ninayajua yangu malengo (For I know the plans I have for you)
Ni mema sio mabaya (Are to prosper you and not harm you)
Ili niwape matumaini ya siku zijazo (To give you hope and a future)
Nawapenda (I love them)
Wambieni wenye huzuni (Spread the news to the sorrowful)
Tulizeni wenye majelaha (Comfort those who are wounded)
Wambieni waje waone (Tell them to come and see)
Tuna Mungu mwingi wa upendo (We have a God full of love)
Alitukuta tukigagaa dhambini akatutoa (He found us struggling in sin and rescued us)
Katuosha na kutusafisha (He washed us and cleansed us)
Akatuahidi uzima wa milele (And promised us eternal life)

Simameni kwenye mnara, (Stand on the tower)
usubiri ntakacho kisema (Wait for what I will say)
Zizuieni sauti za muovu (Silence the voice of the wicked)
Na upende kuwa mwenye haki (And love to be righteous)
Nenda omba tena uombe (Go pray and pray again)
Tofautisha kuomba kwako (Vary your prayers)
Maana hapo nitakuokoa (For there is where I will save you)
Nitaoa jeshi kubwa kwa ajili yako (I will raise a great army for you)

Nenda omba tena uombe (Go pray and pray again)
Tofautisha kuomba kwako (Vary your prayers)
Maana hapo nitakuokoa (For there is where I will save you)
Nitaoa jeshi kubwa kwa ajili yako (I will raise a great army for you)

(Refrain)

Wambieni wenye huzuni (Spread the news to the sorrowful)

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Refrain:
Nimezikumbuka, siku za kale (I have remembered the days of old)
Na kunyooshea mikono yangu, Bwana (I stretch out my hands to You, Lord)
Usifiwe (Be praised)
Nimeyatafakari, matendo yako (I have meditated on Your works)
Nashangaa tena, ni tamu sana (I marvel again how sweet it is)
Kuwa na wewe (To be with You)
Uliyatatua, yote magumu (You solved all the difficult things)
Nakosa usemi, moyo unatosheka (I lack words, my heart is satisfied) (Repeat) 

Katika milima na mabonde, (Through the mountains and the valleys)
Ulitembea nami  (You walked with me)
Hata tanuri ya moto, haikunigusa, gusa kamwe (Even the fiery furnace did not ever touch me)
Nitatunza ahadi yako, rohoni mwangu (I will keep Your promise in my spirit)
Ili nisisahau kamwe (So that I may never forget)
Uliyoyatenda maishani mwangu (The things You have done in my life)
Haya yatakuwa mema (These will be the Good that)
Niyatangazie wote (I will proclaim them to everyone)
Nikumbukapo nitapaza, paza sauti nikuimbie (When I remember, I will raise my voice in praise)

(Refrain)

Ulikonitoa nashukuru (I am thankful for how far You’ve brought me)
Nakushukuru, asante Baba (I’m grateful, Thank You Father)
Habari ipo natosheka (My testimony remains, I am satisfied)
Nakushukuru, asante Baba  (I’m give thanks, Thank You Father) (Repeat)

(Refrain)
