(Sung in Swahili and some Zulu)

Mwokozi wangu, nakuhitaji zaidi (My savior, I greatly need You)
Na Mwoyo wangu, unalia uwepo wako (And my heart, cries for your presence)
Nimejaribu on my own, lakini siwezi (I have tried on my own, and cannot do it)
Nakutegemea, usiniache kamwe (I rely upon you, never abandon me)

Nikiwa bado napumua (While there is still breath in me)
Jina lako ndilo nitajivunia (It is Your Name that I will boast upon)
Tena sitaki kitu cha kunikataza (Nor will I accept what will prevent me)
Kuwa chombo chako (From being Your vesssel)

Sauti yako ikaniita (Your voice called me)
Vingine vyote mimi kakataa (And I abandoned all else)
Nifiche ndani ya mabawa yako (Hide me in your feathers)
Nifike mwisho wa safari (Until the end of my journey)

Najua kwamba mimi ni wako (I know that I am Yours)
Unanipenda tena Sana (You love me greatly)
Nuru yako imenitoa gizani (Your light has brought me from darkness)
Sitaogopa kamwe (I will not be afraid) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Nitawale sasa, na hata milele Bwana (Rule over me now and into forever, Lord)
Overpower all of me, the way you truly desire
Natamani kuongozwa (I desire to be led)
Na Mkono wako Wenye nguvu (By Your mighty hand)
Breath the Fresh Air into my heart
Amen! Amen! Amen!
Yebo yebo Jesu, Yebo yebo Jesu (Yes yes, Jesus) — In Zulu
Yebo Yebo, ngidinga wena! (Yes yes , I need You)
Yebo yebo Jesu, Yebo yebo Jesu (Yes yes, Jesus)
Yebo yebo, ngidinga wena! (Yes yes , I need You)

Ee Mungu nitumikishe (Oh father use me)
Katika faida za mbingu (To the benefit of the heavens)
Nisimamie vizuri (To be a good steward)
Ufalme wako ndani ya ulimwengu (Your kingdom on earth)

Nijaze nguvu nipambane (Fill me with the strength to battle)
Udhaifu wangu uondoe (Remove my weaknesses)
Nidharau mishale ya machungu (For me to despise the arrows of bitterness)
Adui anaonipiga (And enemies who oppose me)

Hawa wanataja magari (While they trust chariots)
Wengine wanataja mafarasi (And the others trust horses)
Bali sisi tunalitaja (But we declare)
Hilo jina la Bwana (The Name of the Lord) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Najua kwamba mimi ni wako (I know that I am Yours)
Unanipenda tena Sana (You love me greatly)
Nuru yako imenitoa gizani (Your light has brought me from darkness)
Sitaogopa kamwe (I will not be afraid) (Repeat)

Repeat: Sitaogopa kamwe (I will not be afraid)
Bonde la mauti (The valley of death)
Kwenye shimo la simba (The lion’s den)
Katika giza tupu (The pure darkness)
Ndani ya bahari kuu (The deep sea)

(Refrain)

Emmanuel, You are my Lord
Mercy grace follow me
You loved me before I even knew You (that’s how good Your love is)
I run away from You, but You never would (that’s how good Your love is)
You fill me with Your Spirit
I’ll tell the whole world what You’ve done for me

Pre-Refrain:
I believe with all my heart, Lord
‘Cause everything You say is true
I can’t live without You one more day
I give it all, I give it all, to You

Refrain:
I was losing my way, You never turned away
How could You call me friend, after all I’ve done?
I searched all over (all over)
I’ve been all over (all over)
There was nobody, then Jesus called my name
And He blessed me, and He blessed me

And He blessed me, He pulled me closer
And He blessed me, He opened my eyes

I’m gonna Love like You taught me, I’ll follow Your words
I want to put my heart out to You
When I wake up in the morning
I’ll lift my hands in a sky
I say thank you Papa God, I love you Lord

(Pre-Refrain + Refrain)

He pulled me closer, And He blessed me,
He opened my eyes, And He blessed me,
Oh how he loves, and He blessed me
Abundantly, and He blessed me
He is number one, and He blessed me

Ndashima uwo mwami wabantu (I praise that king of men)
Ikuzo ribe iryawe mwami (Glory be to you, King)
Icyubahiro cyibe icyawe (Honor be unto You)
Ni wowe ubikwiye (You are worthy)

Uwo nkunze ntamuzi (You don’t know whom I love)
Uwo mwami w’ishyamba ryera (He who rules over the sacred forest (?))
My Lord, and my God eh

(Sung in Kinyarwanda)

Nkimara kumeny’iby’umwami Yesu (After knowing more about the. King)
Numvaga nanijwe n’ibyaha byanjye (I felt overwhelmed by my sins)
Imitwaro induhij’umutima wanjye (Burdens weighed on my heart)
Nibazaga iherezo ry’inzira zanjye (In wondering the end of my ways)
Ntangira kuzinukwa, ibyo nakundaga (I began to despise what I loved)
‘by’ibinezeza by’isi (All the worldly pleasures)
Ntangira kubaha, ibyo nateshaga agaciro (I started to respect, what I despised)

Refrain:
Yanyiyeretse mu gicuku cy’ijoro (He appeared to me in the middle of the night)
Mbeg’umugabo mwiza cyane! (What a wonderful man!)
Eh, uyu Yesu, uyu Yesu, uyu Yesu (Yes, this Jesus, this Jesus, this Jesus)
Ntawusa nawe, nigeze mbona (I’ve never seen anyone like him)
Ati “Ngwino mwana wanjye nakunze (He said: “Come my beloved child)
Nakumenye kera utarab’ urusoro (I knew you long before you were born)
Uzahanurira amahanga menshi (You will prophesy to many nations)
Nzakuzuz’umwuka wanjye (I will fill you with my spirit)
Genda! Wamamaze iyi nkuru (Go! Spread this story)
Mu mahanga yose bayimenye (All nations have to know)
Genda! Wamamaze iyi nkuru (Go! Spread this story)
Mu mahanga yose bayimenye “ (All nations have to know”)

Ntangira kumv’izindi mbaraga (I began to feel another power)
Zirush’amaboko iza mbere (Stronger than before)
Mpinduka umunyantegenke (I became a coward)
Imbere y’ibyanyitaga intwali (In front of those who called me a hero)
Ibyo nagenderagamo mbere (What I used to do before)
Mbibona nk’ibibambwe (Seeing them as crucified)
Nabyo kandi bimbona nk’ubambwe (And they seeing me like that too)
Ubuzima bwanjye nabweguriye umwami (I have now dedicated my life to the King)
Umutima wanjye wararuhutse (My heart is relieved)

(Refrain)

Genda, wamamaze iyi nkuru (Go spread this story)
Mu mahanga yose bayimenye “ (All nations have to know”)

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Kutakuwa milima haitaondolewa (There will be mountains that will not be removed)
Kutakuwa na mito, na sitaweza kuvuka (There will be rivers I cannot cross)
Sio kila ombi, litajibiwa nipendavyo (It is not all prayers, that will be answered as I ask)
Sio kila wimbo, utakaotuliza moyo (Not every song, will calm my spirit)

Nimekupata, nina mtetezi (I have found You, I have an Advocate)
Unionyeshe, njia zako (Show me Your Ways)
Nikujue (That I may know You)

Refrain:
Ikiwa nimepata neema kwako, unikumbuke (If I have found favor in Your eyes, remember me)
Jicho lako liwe juu yangu nyakati zote (Your eye to be on me all the time)
Wema wako unisindikize, hadi tamati (Your Goodness escort me, until the end)
Hili ni ombi langu, nakumwagia moyo (This is my prayer, I pour my heart to You)
N’nachoomba kaa nami, ikiwa nimepata neema kwako
(I pray that you abide with me, if I have found Grace before You)

(From the Top)

Kumbuka hayo mema niwaombeayo, wanaonifurahia (Remember the good I pray for those who rejoice with me)
Maadui zangu nao, uwape kukujua (And to my enemies, let them know You)
Uwabariki kwa utele, uwanyeshee mvua (Bless them to overflowing, pour Your rain on them)
Yamkini watapata kuona, wapumue upendo (So that they may see you, and breathe love)
Tunaoshiriki hii huduma, uwape uamsho
(The ones we serve in this ministry, grant them Your revival)
Uwabariki kwa utele, Baba wala isishie
(Bless them to overflowing, Father–that it would be forever)
Tunaoshiriki hii huduma, uwape uamsho
(The ones we serve in this ministry, grant them Your revival)
Uwabariki kwa utele, Baba wala isishie
(Bless them to overflowing, Father–that it would be forever)(Repeat)

(Refrain)

Kwa maswali na majibu (In times of questions and answers)
Umasikini utajiri (In poverty and riches)
Usumbufu utulivu (In troubles and peaceful times)
Ewe Mwokozi kaa nami! (Oh Savior, abide with me!)
Kwa kupanda kwa kushuka (In rising and falling)
Habari za kuvunja moyo (In heartbreaking news)
Kwa uzushi na uongo (In heresies and lies)
Ewe Mwokozi kaa nami! (Oh Savior, abide with me!) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Kinyarwanda)

Bwo intambara zazag’ umusubirizo (When wars break against me over and over)
Nabonaga kwambuka ari ihurizo  (And I am besieged on all sides)
Isoko y’indirimbo yari yarakamye (When the source of my songs had run dry)
Umurab’ ukambwira ko wantereranye (And the wave whisper that you’ve forsaken me)

Erega nubwo ntakubonaga waruhari (You were there even though I couldn’t see you)
Ahubwo nuko nari naguy’ isari (But it is because I had perished)
Mana waraje maz’ unkora ku mboni (God you came and opened my eyes)
Urandamir’ unkura mu usoni (Rescued me took away my shame)

Refrain:
Uri umwami utajya ubura uko ugira (You are the Lord who never fails)
Ni wowe ujya umpanagura amarira (You are the one who wipes my tears)
Uhor’ umpisha aho umwanzi atagera (You keep me away from the enemy’s reach)
Abakwiringiye bos’ urabimana (You protect those that trust in You)

Refrain 2:
Uri Yhaweh naya mashimwe n’ ayawe (You are Yahweh and all these praises are yours)
Unkuye mu mwijima unyomoy’ inguma (You took me out of the dark and healed my wounds)
Yesu we umbambiye ihema (Oh Jesus, you set sacred tent for me) (Repeat)

Ubu sinkiri imbata y’ubwoba (I’m no longer a slave to fear)
Umwami anshyize mu mababa (The Lord put me in His tent)
Uburinzi bwe burushije imbaraga (His protection is more powerful)
Inkubi y’ibindega (Than my failures)

Urongeye unyeretse imbabazi (You have showed me Your mercy again)
Unyeretse n’ubushobozi (You have shown me Your might)
Umbohoye ingoyi nta kiguzi (You broke my chains without a price)
Unkuye kuri uyu musozi (And taken me out of this mountain)

(Refrain + Refrain2)

Unkuye mu mwijima unyomoye inguma (You took me out of the dark and healed my wounds)
Yesu we umbambiye ihema (Oh Jesus, you set the tabernacle for me) (Repeat)
