Ni rahisi kinywa kujawa na lawama tele (It is easy for the mouth to be filled with blame)
Pale mambo yanapoonekana hayaendi (Whenever things do not go to plan)
Ni ajabu sana kama moyo unahangaika (kutafuta majibu) (It is amazing how the hearts frets searching for answers)
Ajabu sana moyo unavyoonyesha mashaka (Amazing how the heart shows doubt)
Ya kwamba japo Mungu anaishi ndani yangu (kuna muda nahofu) (Even though God lives in me, I am still afraid)
Japo kuwa Mungu anaketi kati yetu, kuna muda na hofu (Though God sits amongst us, there is time that I doubt)
Nakumbuka wana waIsraeli katika bahari ya shamu (I remember the Israelits at the Red Sea)
Japo walikatiza katikati ya bahari kwa ushindi (Though they passed in the middle in victory)
Kwa nyimbo nyingi waliimba na kumsifu Bwana (With many songs they sung in praise of the Lord)
Lakini baada kuvuka na kuliiona jangwa (yalibadilika mambo) (But after crossing and seeing the wilderness, things changed)
Manunguniko yalisimama (Murmurms started)
Na kusahau miujiza alotenda Bwana mwanzo (And forgetfulness on the miracles the Lord did at the beginning)
Ee Mungu nisaidie (Oh God help me)
Refrain:
Nikumbushe wema wako nisije laumu (Remind me of Your goodness so I that do not blame)
Nikumbushe ukuu wako wakati wa magumu (Remind me of Your greatness in challenging times)
Nikumbushe shuhuda zako ili nikusifu (Remind me of you testimonies that I might praise You)
Niimbe wimbo wa sifa katikati ya machozi (To sing a song of praise in the midst of tears)
Niimbe wimbo wa sifa katikati ya machozi (To sing a song of praise in the midst of tears) (Repeat)
Nisaidie kukumbuka Baba ya kwamba umenichora kiganjani mwako (Lord help me to remember that you have drawn me on your palm)
Kati ya wengi waliopo duniani eh, na mimi umeniona (In the midst of many on earth, You have seen me)
Nikumbushe Baba, ya kwamba ni wewe umeniponya nilipoumwa (Remind me Father, that You healed me when I was ill)
Ya kwamba ni wewe, mlipaji wa ada yangu shuleni (That it is You, the payer of my school fees)
Ya kwamba kama ungeniacha hatua moja nisingelifika nilipo (That had you left me even in one step, I would not have been here)
Ee Baba, Umekung’uta mavumbi, kung’uta mavumbi mimi na kuniheshimisha (Oh Father, you have wiped my dust and honored me)
(Refrain)
Bwana Yesu nakutazama, ninakuabudu (Lord Jesus I look to You, I worship You)
Mungu wa maisha yangu, nisaidie nisalalamike mbele zako (God of my Life, help me not to complain before You)
Katika hali zote nijue upo (In any situation to know that You are there)
Umesema hutaniacha, ee Yahweh (You have said You would not leave me, Oh Yahweh)
Haya ni maombi yangu (This is my prayer)
Maisha haya, ninapita tu (I am only passing through this life)
Hali hii ya sasa ni kwa muda tu (My present condition is only for a time)
Ushindi wangu, U karibu nami (My victory is close)
Mtetezi wangu, yu hai (Because my Defendeer lives)
Refrain:
Sitabaki kama nilivyo (I shall not remain the same) x4
Silalamiki, wala sikufuru (I do not complain, nor do I blaspheme)
Najua ni darasa napitishwa (I know it is a trial I am put through)
Imani yangu ipo kwenye kipimo (My Faith is is being measured on a scale)
Najua nitapita tu (I know I shall prevail)
Sitamani za wengine wala sijilinganishi (I do not desire others’, neither do I compare myself)
Najua wakati wangu upo (I know my time is coming)
Siogopeswhi na mapito ninayoyapitia (I am not afraid of my trials)
Namwamini yule aliyeruhusu nipite (For I trust He who allowed I pass through this)
(Refrain)
Mtetezi wangu (My Defender lives)
Yu hai (Yu hai) (Lives (is alive)) x3 (Repeat)
Sitabaki kama nilivyo (I shall remain as I am) (Repeat)
Wanifaa x2 (You Satisfy me/ You suit me)
Ulinifia msalabani, Yesu unanifaa (You died for me on the Cross, Jesus you suit me)
Ulimwaga damu yako mi nipone, unanifaa (You shed Your blod that I may be healed, you suit me)
Ulishuka kuzimu, wee (You descended to hell)
Ukamnyang’anya shetani funguo, hee (And wrested the keys from the devil)
Ulisema yamekwisha (And said it is finished)
Refrain:
Neno la Bwana linasema, tafuteni mungu (The Word of the Lord says, seek God)
Na hayo mengine jamani, mtazidishiwa (And everything else will be added unto You) (Repeat)
Unanifaa x8 (You suit me/ You are enough)
Amin’x3 nawaambia (Truly I say to you)
Mtu hawezi kufika kwake (No one can come to Him)
Ila kwa njia yake Yesu (Only through Jesus)
Maana Yesu njia ya uzima (For Jesus is the way of Life)(Repeat)
Mungu wangu anapenda (My God loves)
Maskini na tajiri ana penda penda (Both the rich and the poor he loves)
Ndio maana mi na deka (That is why I am proud)
Niko mikononi mwake (For I am in His hands)
Kila kitu Kiko better (And everything is better)
Refrain:
Ibilisi ananyeta (The devil obstructs)
Kuna watu wakicheki unabarikiwa sana wanateta (There are people who backbite when they see you blessed)
Anazidi kuleta mvua ya baraka na ma better (He continues to rain blessings and good things)
Inazidi kunyesha (Continue to rain) (Repeat)
Aisifuye mvua imemnyea, (Whoever praises the rain has been rained on) namsifu juu amenitendea (I praise Him because He has done much for me)
Maajabu, Maajabu (Awesome things, Amazing things)
Ata wewe ukimkujia (Even you – if you come to Him) najua atakutendea maajabu (I know He will do awesome things for you)
Maajabu, Maajabu (Awesome things, Amazing things)
Kuna wenye dhambi wengine takatifu (There are sinners and the righteous)
jua likiwaka linawawakia wote (When the sun shines, it shines on all)
wengine janja janja wengine waaminifu (Others are cunning, others faithful)
mvua ikinyesha inawanyeshea wote (When it rains, it rains on them all) (Repeat)
(Refrain)
Mungu wangu anapenda penda penda penda (My God loves, loves, loves)
Na sa ndio maana mi na deka deka deka (That is why I am proud, proud, proud)
Mungu wangu anapenda deka penda deka (My God Loves, proud, love, proud)
ananipenda na deka. (He loves me so I am proud) (Repeat)
Ukimuita anacome through (He comes through when You call Him)
Ndio maana namsifu (That is why I praise Him)
Maombi anajibu (He answers prayers)
