(Sung in Swahili)

Uko wapi, eh Mungu wangu? (Where are You, Oh my God?)
Uko wapi? Njoo uniokoe (Where are You, come and save me) (Repeat)

Mawimbi yanataka kuniangamiza (The waves threaten to drown me)
Misukomisuko yaniandama (Troubles follow me)
Dhoruba na majaribu havikomi kwangu (Storms and temptations do not cease)
Uko wapi? Fanya hima niokoe (Where are You, make haste and save me)
Uko wapi, eh Mungu wangu? (Where are You, Oh my God?)
Uko wapi? Njoo uniokoe (Where are You, come and deliver me)

Refrain:
Uko wapi, Ee Bwana? (Lord, Where are You?)
Uko wapi, mbona ni kama umeniacha? (Why does it feel like You’ve abandoned me?)
Usifiche uso wako, ee Bwana (Do not hide Your Face from me, Oh Lord)
Usifiche uso nipoonapo rehema (Do not hide Your Face once I see compassion)
Mwili huu ni wa nyama (This body is of flesh)
Unachoka pekee yangu sitaweza  (It tires, I cannot by myself) (Repeat)

Nimegubikwa wimbi la huzuni na mawazo (I have been overwhelmed by depression)
Amani kwangu ni kama ndoto (Faith to me, is like a dream)
Ole wangu, nikifurahi siku moja (Woe unto me, if I am happy one day)
Siku sita nitalia wiki ipite (For six days I will weep, the week to pass)
Magumu yangu nikisimulia kwa ndugu zangu (When I talk of my difficulties to my brothers)
Waniambia utajijua na Mungu wako (They tell me to take it with Your God)
Nikielezea magumu yangu kwa wapendwa (When I tell of my difficulties to my loved ones)
Wananiambia tumechoka kukufariji (They tell me they are tired of comforting me)
Wakati mwingine natamani, heri nife (Other times, I desire to die)
Kuliko kuishi, ninyanyasike hivi (Rather than to live and suffer like this)

Uko wapi ee Mungu wa Eliya (Where are You, Oh God of Elijah?)
Uko wapi ee Mungu Wa Ibrahimu (Where are You, Oh God of Abraham?)
Uko wapi ee Mungu Wa isaka (Where are You, Oh God of Isaac?)
El Shaddai, Fanya hima uniokoe (God Almighty, make haste and deliver me)

(Refrain)

Nina neno juu yako, Ee mpendwa (I have a word for You, beloved)
Usilie kwa Magumu uliyo nayo (Do not cry of your hardships)
Usitazame jaribu ulilo nalo (Do not Look at the trials you have)
Inia macho msalabani umtazame Yesu (Lift Your eyes to the cross and look to Jesus)
Japo ndugu wakikutenga na kukuacha (Though brothers isolate and leave you)
Yesu, atakukumbatia (Jesus will embrace You)
Majaribu ipo siku yatakoma (There is a day that the temptations shall end)
Utasahau shida zote ulizopata (And you shall forget all your past difficulties) (Repeat)

(Sung in Swahili)

Nilimgoja Bwana kwa subira (I patiently waited for the Lord)
Akaniinamia akasikia kilio changu (He leaned down and heard my cries)
Akanipandisha toka shimo la uharibifu (He lifted me from the pit of destruction)
Toka udongo wa utelezi (From the miry clay)
Akaisimamisha miguu yangu mwambani (He stood me on a Solid Rock)
Akaziimarisha hatua zangu (And strengthened my steps)
Akatia wimbo mpya kinywani mwangu (He put a new song in my mouth)
Ndio sifa zako Mungu wetu (That is why we Praise You, our God)

Kwa yale umetenda nitaimba wimbo huu
(For all You’ve done, I will sing this song)
Kwa yale umenitendia, nitaimba wote wasikie
(For all You’ve done for me, I will sing for all to hear)
Umetenda ya ajabu maneno yananikosa
(You have done great things, that words fail me)
Umenitendea mengi mno, hayawezi hesabika
(You have done much for me, that it cannot be counted)

Refrain:
Wewe ni Mungu (You are God) x2
Unajibu maombi (You answer prayers) x2
U Mwaminifu (You are Faithful) x2
Wewe ni Mungu (You are God) x2 (Repeat)

Bridge:
Umenitoa kwenye shimo la utelezi (You lifted me from a miry pit)
Kaniweka juu ya mwamba imara (And placed me on a solid foundation)
Aibu kaondoa, vazi la heshima ukanivisha
(You removed my shame, and clothed me with respect)
Uzuni kaondoa furaha yako kanipa
(You removed my sorrow and granted my Your Joy)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)

Yale yale ya ujana maji ya moto n’kaukurupukia
(The same youth is like hot water I jumped on it)
Leo hii wawili watoto wanaiangalia (Today two children look to me)
Napambana sana na changamoto kuwatafutia
(I struggle with challenges to provide for them)
Nikikosa, mzazi mwenzangu anakuja moto (If I lack, my co-parent argues)
Matusi kunishushia (Verbally insults me)
Natumia nguvu kutafuta — jasho laloesha shati
(I use energy to search — sweat drenches my shirt)
Chini nikiziba ufa, juu linang’oka bati
(When I repair a crack on the floor, the roof leaks)
Zile ngo ngo kwa ndugu jama (The knock knock to my friends)
Zishaishanga mazima (mie) (Have completely stopped)
Miondondo mlezi wa wana (I have no help as the children guardian)
Lakini zali(zari?) sina (miee) (But I have no relief for myself)

Ama sauti yangu kwa mungu Baba, haisikiki?
(Is it because my prayers to Father God are not heard?)
Tuseme dua zangu mbingu ya saba, hazifiki?
(Shall we say my prayers to the seventh heaven, do not arrive?)

Response: Futa chozi, futa (Wipe the tears, wipe them)
Usiulize nalia nini (Do not ask why I cry)
Nahisi riziki yangu imepigwa pini (I feel like my provision have been stopped)
Iyeee lele lelile le
Mungu Baba nione (Father God, see me)

Nikiwa kazini akili zote zipo nyumbani
(When at work, all my attention is at home)
Nikiwa nyumbani wakusalishe, sina amani
(When at home they do not greet me(?), I have no peace)
Nakazana sana, kimziki (I struggle with my music)
Kweli napambana, kubahatisha riziki
(Truly I struggle in trying for provision)
Wanaomba mabaya wenye roho za choyo
(They pray ill for me those with selfish hearts)
Na ndugu zangu wakiwemo (My brothers included)
Napata fupa mi kibogoyo, Mungu ameninyima meno
(I get a bone, but I am toothless, God has withheld teeth for me)
Nikitazama watoto wangu, inje ya ndoa wamezaliwa
(When I look at my children, they were born out of wedlock)
Kwenye imani ya dini yangu, wanasema nishakosea
(In my religion’s faith, they say that I have sinned)

(Refrain)

Ama sauti yangu kwa Mungu Baba
(Is it because my voice to my Father God)
Tuseme dua zangu mbingu ya saba, hazifiki?
(Shall we say my prayers to the Seventh heaven do not arrive?)

Response: Futa chozi, futa (Wipe my tears, wipe them away)
Kuna muda naishiwa nguvu (There are times I lose strength)
Elimu sina kichwa mbumbumbu (I have no education, my brain is empty)
Naganga ganga njaa (I struggle with hunger)
Mungu wangu lini langu fungu? (My Father, when do I receive my portion?)

(Sung in Swahili)

Roho wako mwenyezi (Your Spirit, Almighty)
Amenifanya jinsi nilivyo (Has made me the way I am)
Pumzi yako, uhai wangu (Your breath, my life)
Umefufua mifupa mikavu (You have resurrected the dry bones)
Uhai umenipa Baba yangu (You have given me life, My Father)
Umetuliza dhoruba (You have calmed the winds)
Wakati wa mawimbi (In the times of storms)

Refrain:
Moyo wangu na ukuiniue wakati (May my heart lift you every time)
Nafsi yangu ikuhimidi kila saa (My soul to praise You every hour)
(Repeat)

Egemeo Baba yangu umbali huu (My Refuge, this far You’ve brought me)
Ninashukuru, Mwamba (I am thankful, the Rock)
Dunia, mbingu ni mwashahidi (Heaven and earth are witnesses)
Umbali huu ni wewe Bwana wa mabwana (This far You have brought me Lord of Lords)
Kwa makubwa, madogo, umbali huu (In great and little things, thus far)
Ni wewe Bwana wa mabwana (It is because of You Lord of Lords)
Na mengi, machache, umbali huu (In many and in the few, thus far)
Ni wewe Bwana wa mabwana (It is because of You Lord of lords)

(Refrain)

Bridge:
Ninakuinua, inua aa (I lift You up, Lift up)
Umetenda mema, mema Bwana (You have done Good, Good Father)

Ni wewe (wewe) Shamma (You are always there)
Wewe ni Jehovah Shamma (You are the Lord who is there)
Ni wewe (wewe) Jireh (You are the Provider)
Wewe ni Jehovah Jireh (You are the Lord our Provider)
Ni wewe (wewe) Shamma (You are always there)
Wewe ni Jehovah Shamma (You are the Lord who is there)
Na bado wazidi kuwa Mungu umekuwa (And You still remain the Same God) x2

Refrain:
Ni nani aliye Mungu, Mungu ila Bwana
(Who is like God, if not the Lord?)
Ni nani aliye Mwamba, Mwamba ila Mungu
(Who is the rock, the Solid Rock if not God?)
Ni Mungu ndiye anifungaye mshipi wa nguvu, aha!
(It’s God who who girds me with strength)
Ni Mungu ndiye kimbilio la unyonge wangu, aha!
(It is God who is my refuge in my weakness)
Naye anaifanya kamilifu njia yangu
(He who makes my path complete)
Ni Mungu ndiye anifungaye mshipi wa nguvu, aha!
(It’s God who who girds me with strength)
Ni Mungu ndiye kimbilio la unyonge wangu, aha!
(It is God who is my refuge in my weakness)
Naye anaifanya kamilifu njia yangu
(He who makes my path complete)

Ni yeye Bwana aliye nguvu zangu nampenda sana
(He is the Lord with the strength, I love Him)
Ni yeye Jabali langu na boma langu na Mwokozi wangu
(He is my rock, my shelter and my Saviour)
Mungu wangu, mwamba wangu ninayemkimbilia
(My God, My rock whom I run to)
Ngao yangu, na pembe ya wokovu wangu, na ngome yangu
(My shield, the cornerstone of my salvation and my refuge)

(Refrain)

Katika shida zangu nilimwita Bwana “ee Bwana”
(In the midst of my trials I call the Lord “Oh Lord”)
Na kumlalamikia Mungu “ee Mungu”
(I bring my complaints to God “Oh God”)
Akaisikia sauti yangu hekaluni mwake
(He heard my voice in His Temple)
Kilio changu kikaingia masikioni mwake
(My cries reached His ears)

(Refrain)

Bwana alinitendea, sawasawa na haki yangu
(Lord dealt with me according to my rights)
Akanilipa sawasawa na haki yangu
(And He repaid me according to my rights)

(Refrain)

Nitamwita Bwana astahiliye kusifiwa
(I shall call upon the Lord who deserves the praise)
Hivyo nitaokoka na adui zangu
(And thus I shall be saved from my enemies)

(Refrain)
