Dhamira yangu Kujua (My desire is to know)
Nina wewe Yesu (That I have You Jesus)
Dhamira yangu Kujua (My desire is to know)
Nina wewe Yesu (That I have You Jesus)
Asubuhi, mchana wote (Morning, all afternoon)
Jioni hata usiku (Evening and even night)
Kwenye hali zote (In all situations)
Nitembee na wewe (To walk with You)
Oh Baba, Oh Yesu (Oh Father, oh Jesus)
Refrain:
Wewe ni kiu yangu (You are my thirst)
Njaa ya moyo wangu (The one my soul hungers for)
Wewe ni Mungu wangu (You are my God)
Mfalme wa moyo wangu (The King of my heart) (Repeat)
Nitakase, nifundishe (Cleanse me, teach me)
Niongoze, nifinyange (Lead me, mould me)(Repeat)
Kama ayala ayatamanivyo maji (Like the deer pants for water)
Ndivyo moyo wangu una zaidi wa kutamani (My heart has theĀ same yearning for You)
Oh Baba yangu, ninashuka mbele zako (Oh Father I humble myself before You)
Mapenzi yako yatimizwe maishani mwangu Yesu (May Your will be done in my life Jesus)
Usipolinda wewe mji walindao wanafanya kazi bure (If You do not watch over a city, the watchmen watch in vain)
Usipojenga wewe mji wajengao wafanya kazi bure (If You do not build a city, the builders build in vain)
Nakutamani Yesu zaidi maishani mwangu (I desire You Jesus in my life)
Mara mingi moyo unakataa (A lot of times my heart fails me)
Hata damu unashindwa kusukuma (It fails even to pump blood)
Nikiwaza mengi nimepitia (When thinking of what I have been through)
Ila imani ndio inanisukuma (It is only faith that pushes me on)
Bado nangoja (I am still waiting) x4
Napata kizunguzungu sana (I am always faint)
Ninapata kizunguzungu (I am faint)
Sometimes maisha inakuwa ngumu sana (Sometimes life is very hard)
Hata nimekosa nguvu (That I become faint)
Lakini nakumbukuka, ahadi zako (But then I remember your promises)
Tena nakumbuka matendo yako (I also remember your work)
Uko mwaminifu ukisema unatenda (You are faithful to do what You promised)
Wewe ni mwaminifu kwa ahadi zako (You are faithful to your promises)
Refrain:
Zile baraka zangu, Bwana (Lord, my blessings promised to me)
Zile baraka zangu (bado nangoja) (I am still waiting for my blessings)
Na Zile baraka zangu, Bwana (Lord, My blessings)
Zile baraka zangu (bado nangoja) (I am still waiting for my blessings)
Na zile ahadi zangu, Bwana (Those promises made to me, Lord)
Na zile ahadi zangu (bado nangoja) (I am still waiting for those promises)
Zile, zile (Those, those)
Shughulika na hali yangu (Look after my health)
Nimelala sakafuni (I have slept on the floor)
Kwenye baridi mateso mengi (There is a lot of suffering in the cold)
Shughulika na hali yangu najua mwokozi (Look after my heart, you know it My Savior)
Uje mapema wala huchelewi (Come quickly, You do not tarry)
Nimehustle haswa (I have hustled hard)
Nimetokwa jasho jasho nikitegea (I have sweated while waiting)
Tena kama Daudi, tena kama Esta (Just like David, and just like Esther)
Baba nakutegemea, Mungu nakutegemea (Father I depend on You, God I depend on You)
(Refrain)
Tegemeo la moyo wangu, ni wewe Yesu (Jesus, You are the one my heart depends on)
Tumaini la moyo wangu, ni wewe Kristu (Christ you are the hope of my heart)
Nakungojea (I wait for You) x4
