(Sung in Swahili)

Chorus:
Naendelea mbele, naendelea mbele (I’m moving forward, I’m moving forward)
Sirudi nyuma tena, naenda na Yesu (No turning back again, I’m going with Jesus)
(Repeat)

Mengi nimeona, ya kunivuta nyuma (I have seen many things that want to turn me)
Ewe Bwana Yesu, umenisaidia (You Lord Jesus, have helped me)
Sio kwa nguvu, wala mamlaka (Not by my might, or my power)
Bali ni kwa Roho, wako mtakatifu (But by your Holy Spirit)

(Chorus)

Kama si wewe Yesu, ningekuwa wapi (If it wasn’t for you Jesus, Where would I be?)
Ebeneza Mungu wangu, umenitoa mbali (My God Ebenezer, you’ve brought me from far)
Nami nimeamua, takufuata milele (And I have resolved, to follow you forever)
Baba Yangu we, usiniache naenda (My Father you, don’t leave me I’m following)

(Chorus)

Umeniumba mimi, kwa umbo lako Yesu (You’ve created me in your image Jesus)
Menipa Ujasiri, wa Roho wako Mungu (You’ve given me your Spirit’s courage)
Ninaweza yote, wewe waniwezesha (I can conquer all, you enable me)
Sio kwa nguvu wala mamlaka, ni kwa Roho wako (Not by might or power, but by your Spirit)

(chorus)

Watoto vijana twende, wamama wazee twende (Children youth, Women, men lets go)
Kenya yote twende, twende kwa Yesu (All Kenya lets go, Let’s go to Jesus’)
Uropa Asia twende, Afrika yote twende (Europe, Asia let’s go, All Africa lets go)
Dunia nzima twende, twende kwa Yesu (All the world let’s go, let’s go to Jesus’)
Kanisa lote twende, watoto wote twende (All church let’s go, All children let’s go)
(repeat)

(chorus)

Chorus:
Akisema atakubarik hakuna atakayezuia
(If he says He will bless you, no one will prevent it)
Kwani yeye ndiye Mungu mwenye baraka zote
(For He is the God with all the blessings)
Akisema atakubarik hakuna atakayezuia
(If he says He will bless you, no one will prevent it)
Kwani yeye ndiye Mungu mwenye baraka zote
(For He is the God with all the blessings)

Akisema atakubariki, wala usitie shaka
(If He says He will bless You, do not orry)
Kwani yeye ndiye Mungu mwenye baraka zote
(For He is the God with all the blessings)
Mipango yake ya ajabu, tena haibadiliki
(His plans are amazing, and they do not change)
Akisema atakuinua, ndiye mwenye kuinua
(If He says he will lift You, He is the lifter)
Akisema atakupa mtoto, katika umri wowote
(If He says He will give you a child, at any age)
Aliwapa Sara na Ana, lipi asiloweza
(He gave to Sarah and Hannah, What can He not do?)

(Chorus)

Akisema atakubariki, watoto wako waelimike
(If He says He will bless you, your children to be educated)
Wapate na shahada nyingi, hakuna atakayezuia
(To get a lot of degrees, no one can prevent it)
Akisema utapona, hakuna atakayezuia
(If He says you will be healed, no one can prevent it)
Mama aliyetokwa na damu alipona na kazi(?) yake
(For He healed the woman with the issue of blood)
Akisema atakubariki, hakuna atakayezuia
(If He says He will bless you, no one will prevent it)
Atalinda afya yako, maana yeye ndiye mwenye afya
(He will care for your health, for He is the one who gives it)

(Chorus)

Watembelea miguu, hata baisikeli huna
(You trek on foot, you do not own even a bicycle)
Akisema uendeshe Musso, kesho utaendesha
(If He says you will drive a Musso, tomorrow you will drive it)
Waishi nyumba ya matope, huna hata mavazi
(You live in a house made in mud, you do not even have clothing)
Akisema atakubariki, majirani watashangaa
(If He says He will bless you, even your neighbors will be amazed)
Akisema atakuinua, mbele ya adui zako
(If He says He will lift You, before your enemies)
Atakuandalia meza ule unywe wakitizama
(He will prepare a table for you to eat and drink as they look on)

(Chorus)

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let everything, let everything

Intro:
Nikilemewa nishike, Nikilemewa nishike (Hold me when I am weary)
Nikilemewa nishike, Mkono Baba (Hold me when I am weary, Hold my hand Father)

Verse 1:
Adui wanizingira, rafiki kawa duni (Enemies surround me, friends left me)
Matata kanipata, mashaka kawa mengi (Trouble found me, My doubts were many)
Maovu yamezidi, wema kadhulumiwa (Evil is rampant, goodness is persecuted)
Nakulilia ee baba, iwe nategemea (I cry to you O God, to you I rely on)

Chorus:
Nikilemewa nishike, Nikilemewa nishike

(repeat)

Verse 2:
Nuru yangu na wokovu, sitaogopa kitu (My light and salvation, I shall not fear)
Niwe unipaye nguvu, na kuniweka huru (It is you who gives me strength, and free me)
Wema wao na fadhili, zaniandama mie (Your goodness and mercy, follow me)
Mambo yakinizidi, ndiwe mwamba salama (When it is too much, you are the safe refuge)

Chorus (repeat x3)

Verse 3:
Kando ya maji matulivu, Wewe waniongoza (Beside quiet waters, you lead me)
Waniandalia karamu, mbele ya adui zangu (You prepare a table, before my enemies)

Nishike, nishike mkono baba… (Hold me, hold my hand Father…)

(Chorus)
