(Sung in Swahili)

Msimamizi wa mipaka ya bahari (The supervisor of the ocean borders)
Utunzaye ghala ya mvua (The keeper of the rains)
Waamua vita ya jua na mwezi (The judge in the war of the sun and the moon)
Upepo na mawimbi vyakujua (The winds and waves know You)
Uketiye mahali pa siri (The One who sits in the Secret Place)
Patakatifu palipo inuka (The raised Holy Place)
Kwa utangazo wa mwisho mwanzoni (By the prophecy of the end in the beginning)
Hakuna usilo lijua (There is nothing that You do not know)

Bridge:
Nani wakulinganishwa nawe Jehova mwenye nguvu
(Who is to be compared to You, Mighty Lord?)
Ufalme wako ni wa zamani zote vizazi vyote
(Your reign is forever through all generations) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Miaka kwako sio umri (Years do not age You)
Uzazi kwako si ukomo (Parenthood does not define You)
Miaka kwako sio umri (Years do not age You)
Uzazi kwako si ukomo (Parenthood does not define You)
Wadumu milele (You reign forever)
Wadumu milele (You reign forever)
Bwana wadumu milele (Lord You reign forever)
Wadumu milele (You reign forever)

Wewe Bwana ni kama maji (You Lord, are like the waters)
Maji yenye kina kirefu (Like the deep waters)
Maji yenye kina kirefu (For the deep waters)
Kamwe hayapigi kelele (Are still)
Ni kweli kuna mabwana wengi (It is true that there are many lords)
Lakini wewe ni Bwana wa mabwana (But You are the Lord of lords)
Ni kweli kuna miungu mingi (It is true that there are many gods)
Lakini wewe ni Mungu wa miungu (But You are the God of gods)

Siku kwako sio vipindi (Days are not episodes to You)
Majira kwako sio ishara (Seasons are not signs to You)
Ufikiwi kwa mnara wa Babeli (You are not reached by the Tower of Babel)
Jina lako ni ngome imara (Your Name is a safe refuge)

(Bridge)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)

Nilipokutana na Yesu, Nilipokutana naye
(When I encountered Jesus, When I encountered Him)
Nilipokutana Baba, Nilipokutana naye
(When I encountered Jesus, When I encountered Him)
Tuliweka agano, kuwa mimi ni mwana wake
(We placed a covenant, that I am His child)
Yeye kwangu ni Baba, mimi wake ni mwana
(He is my father, I am a His child)
Mwana wake wa kweli (His true child)

Agano hili ni imara, agano hili lina nguvu
(This covenant is unshakeable, this covenant has power)
Siku zinavyokwenda, linaimarika zaidi
(As days go by, it is further strengthened)
Haijalishi mapito yangu, mimi ni mwana wake tu
(It does not matter what I go through, I am still His child)
Haijalishi hali yangu, mimi ni mwana wake
(No matter my situation, I am His child)
Baraka ni halali yangu, hata kama imechelewa
(Blessings are my right, even if they are late)
Afya njema ni haki yangu, hata kama imechelewa
(Good health is my right, even if it is late)
Eh nafsi yangu, tulia! (My still my soul!)

Repeat: Eh/oh, mimi mwana wake kweli (Eh/Oh, I am truly His child)
Mimi ni mwana wa Mungu, mimi (I am a child of God, I am)
Mimi ni mwana wa Mungu, mimi (I am a child of God, I am)
Haijalishi mazingira, mimi (It does not matter the environment, I am)
Mini ni mwana wa Mungu, mimi (I am the child of God, I am)
Hata kwamba niko gizani, mimi (Even if I’m in the darkness, I am)
Yeye ni nuru yangu, yeye (He is my light, He is)

Mimi simwonei mashaka, Mungu ninaye mwabudu
(I do not doubt the God that I worship)
Wala simwonei mashaka, Mungu ninaye mwamini
(And I do not doubt, the God I believe in)
Mimi simwonei mashaka, Mungu ninaye mwabudu
(I do not doubt the God that I worship)
Wala simwonei hofu, Mungu ninaye mwamini
(And I do not fear, the God that I believe in)

Haijalishi ni nyakati gani, ninayopitia mimi
(It does not matter the times that I go through)
Haijalishi ni majira gani, ninayopitia mimi
(It does not matter the seasons that I pass through)
(Repeat)

Wala simwonei mashaka, Mungu ninaye mwamini
(And I do not doubt, the God that I believe in)
Hofu no, Shaka no, kwa Mungu ninaye Mwamini
(Fear, No! Doubts, no! In the God that I believe in)
(Repeat)

Repeat: Eh/oh, mimi mwana wake kweli (Eh/Oh, I am truly His child)
Mimi ni mwana wa Mungu (I am a child of God)
Nasema mi ni mwana wa Mungu (I say, I am the child of God)
NImezaliwa kwa damu yake, jamani (I have been born by His Blood)
Na nimeishi kwa pendo lake, ah ah (And I live in His Love)
No, no… oh oh
No, no… oh oh
Nasema mi ni mwana wa Mungu (I say, I am the child of God)

Igwe! Igwe! Igwe! (Praise)
