(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Baba nichukue, nifunze (Father take me and teach me)
Nataka kusoma, Kwa shule Yako (I want to study in your school)
Kwa shule Yako (Your school)
(Repeat)

Nikiwa nawe kama mwalimu (Having you as my Teacher)
Ninajua nitahitimu (I know I will qualify)
Nitashinda adui akileta majaribu (I will defeat the enemy’s temptation)
Unitayarishe, unibadilishe (Prepare me, change me)
Mtihani nipite, mwito nitimize (To pass my trials, and fulfill my calling)
Nijue kuandika (To know how to write)
Niandike maono yangu (That I may write my visions )
Nijue kuhesabu (To know how to count)
Nihesabu baraka zako (That may count Your blessings )
Nijue kuongea (To know how to speak)
Nihubiri neno lako (That I could preach your Word)
Kwa watu wako (To Your People)

(Refrain)

Shule Yako hatundanganywi (There is no lying in your School)
Ni ukweli na uwazi (Only truth and transparency)
Wanafunzi hawagomi (Students do not need to strike)
Mwalimu atujali (For the Teacher cares for us)
Unifunze nidhamu, Wote niwaheshimu (Teach me discipline,  for all to respect me)
Yesu ni Mwalimu, Yesu ni Mwalimu’ (Jesus is the Teacher, Jesus is the Teacher)
Nijue kuandika (To know how to write)
Niandike maono yangu (That I may write my visions )
Nijue kuhesabu (To know how to count)
Nihesabu baraka zako (That may count Your blessings )
Nijue kuongea (To know how to speak)
Nihubiri neno lako (That I could preach your Word)
Kwa watu Wako (To Your People)

(Refrain)

Ipo Siku (There Is a Day) Lyrics by Goodluck Gozbert

(Sung in Swahili)

Ni mbali nimetoka (I’ve come from far)
Tena ni ajabu kuwa hai (And it’s amazing that I’m still alive)
Maana ningeshakufaga (For I should have died)
Ni mengi nimeona (I have seen many things)
Tena ya kuvunja moyo (Many of them heartbreaking)
Labda ningeshamwacha Mungu (That I should have left God)

Bridge:
Kama ni misongo ya mawazo (If it is pressuring thoughts)
Magonjwa mama, nimepitia, ninazoea (Or illnesses, I’ve been through, I’m used to them)
Maumivu ya kudharauliwa, umasikini (Hurt from contempt, poverty)
Ni kila siku, ninajipa moyo: (Everyday, I encourage myself:)

Refrain:
Ipo siku yangu tu, Ipo Siku (There is my day, a day)
Ipo siku yangu tu (My day)
Nami (Niba niba nibarikiwe) (That I will be blessed as well)
Nami nibarikiwe (nibarikiwe) (That I will be blessed as well)
Nibarikiwe (nibarikiwe) (I be blessed)
Nami nibarikiwe ( nibarikiwe) (I be blessed as well)
Niba, niba, nibarikiwe (I be blessed)

Ingawa kwa sasa wananisema vibaya (Though they currently speak ill of me)
Nami sishangai – najua ni ya wanadamu hayo (I am not dismayed – these are earthly things)
Ingawa sipati na ni kwa muda mrefu (Though lack for a long time)
Siachi kuomba; Mungu si kiziwi (I do not stop praying; God is not deaf)
Binadamu wema, ukiwa nacho (Men are good when you have things)
Kwa sasa waniepuka sina rafiki wa dhati (But now they avoid me, I do not have friends)

(Bridge + Refrain)

Miaka imepita, unaombaga mtoto hupati (Years are past, you’ve prayed in vain for a child)
Vuta subira maana Yeye hachelewi (Be patient, for He’s never late)
Ona biashara imeandamwa mikosi hupati (Your business is followed by misfortunes)
Usimwache Mungu, waganga watakuponza (Do not abandon God, witchcraft will destroy you)
Mpo kwa ndoa ila nyumbani amani hakuna (There is no peace in your marriage)
Msimwache Mungu – michepuko sio jibu (Do not abandon God – separation is not the answer)
Umeugua tumaini la kupona hakuna (You are terminally ill – no hope of survival)
Usimtazame mwanadamu siku yako imekaribia (Do not hope on men, your day is coming)

Najua Ayaya (Ipoa) x? (I know, itwill be well)

Misuko-suko ya ndoa (The travails of marriage)
Mtoto anakusumbua (Your child grieves you)
Giza likiingia unawaza wapi utalala (When darkness comes, you don’t know where to sleep)
Masimango Mashemeji, ati huzai mtoto (Your in-laws mock your barrenness)
Masimango mama wa kambo (Your step-mother mocks you)
Umemchosha nyumbani (She is tired of you)
Usiwaze usiumie, najua yote yatapita (Do not be discouraged, all shall pass)
Siku imekaribia, najua yote yatapita (Your day is near, I know all shall pass)

Nawe ubarikiwe (nibarikiwe) (That you should be blessed)
Ubarikiwe (nibarikiwe) (Be blessed)
Nawe ubarikiwe (nibarikiwe) (That you should be blessed)
Uba, Uba, Ubarikiweee (Be blessed)

(Sung in Swahili/Sheng)

Sijui Ka n’taona kesho (I don’t know if I’ll see tomorrow)
Ka ningali na uwezo wa kuifanya (But if I have the ability to work)
N’taifanya hadi mwisho (I shall toil until the end)
Mwambieni huyo devo, simwogopi shetani (Tell the devil, I’m not afraid of Satan)
Sir God yuko nami hadi kifo (The Lord is with me until death)
Ka n’taona kesho (If I’ll see tomorrow)
Nipe nguvu na uwezo wa kijana (Give me the ability of youth)
na akili za mzee (And the wisdom of old age)
Daima ni we, (Forever it is you,)
imara wasiniangushe (solid – that I may not be felled)

Naona saa, (I see the time,)
Kila siku ni zawadi toka Maulana (Everyday is a gift from God)
So haja gani ushike tama mama (So why the sad face, ma?)
Majaribu huisha ooh yaa ee (Trials come to an end)
Na hata ka, (And even when…)
Maadui zangu watashikana nao njama (My enemies conspire against me)
siwaogopi nasimama ma (I am not afraid, I stand firm)
Ya kiama yao yaja eeh (Their judgement day is coming)

Hio ndio pace nasonga nayo (The pace I’m moving with)
Wanashangaa hakuna stress nakuanga nayo (They’re surprised to see me stress-free)
Naishi ka’ sina case mahakamani (I live as though I have neither cases against me)
Au deni za majirani (Nor my neighbors debts)
N’ko Fresh njee na ndani, oh yaa eee (I am fresh inside and out)

Refrain:
Naa mwogopa Mungu Pekee (I fear only God)
Wanadam’ ‘kija kuntafash (When men conspire against me)
Naomba Mungu N’tetee (Lord defend me)
Maneno yao yasiniumize (That their words would not wound me)
‘Nfanye sugu wewe (Make me strong)
Wakitry kun’tisha naomba (When they try to threaten me,)
Nisitetemeke (I pray that I may not be shaken)
I know you love me, know you love me
So I Don’t fear Nobody But You
I know you love me know you love me
Nisitetemeke (That I may not be shaken) (Repeat)

Siamini joh ju vile naishi life (I don’t believe it because the way I live)
Ni ngumu kuamini hii si ndoto (Is hard to believe that this is not a dream)
Sijui kesho vile itakaa (I don’t know about tomorrow)
kwa hivyo leo nitaifanya (So today I will work)
ka kidogo hua hairidhishi roho (As though a little does not satisfy me)
Yani sana, tena sana (That is…)
Hata wale wanan’chukia (Even those who hate me)
wananiheshimu bruh mi si kodogo (Respect me, I am not trivial)
Sibabaiki nikis’kia mkiongea (I do not worry when I hear you talk)
Nazidi kuwapa mi kisogo, (I continue giving you my back)
na kama saa sis’mami (And like time, I do not pause)
S’taki life iniwache mataani mtaani (I do not want life to overwhelm me)
Mwenyezi n’chungie familia yangu (Lord take care of my family)
Na pia Za wale wote sauti yangu wanais’kia (And of those who listen to my voice)
Tupe afya nzuri, na maisha matamu (Grant us good health, and enjoyable life)
Barabara zetu zinyooke (Our paths to be straightened)
Waone Mfalme ni wewe (That others will see you are the King)
Wa kupewa shangwe ni wewe (You are the One deserving of Praise)
Wa kupewa shagwe ni wewe (You are the One deserving of Praise)

(Refrain)

Bridge:
I pray we: me and my people we never die
Say we live forever and forever we multiply
And wherever we go…
Ni nini wanaweza nishow (There is nothing they can show me)
hata ka sina kitu (Even if I had nothing)
Uko na mimi kila siku (You are by my side every day)
Kila siku, Wewe Pekee (Every day, Only You)

(Refrain)

Huyu Yesu (This Jesus) Lyrics by Mercy Masika and Angel Bernard

(Sung in Swahili)

Huyu Yesu si sanamu (This Jesus is not a statue)
Si mwanadamu, adanganye (Not human, that He should lie)
Ahadi zake zote kweli (His promises are all yes)
Na amina nimemwona (and Amen; I have seen Him)

Akisema ndio, hakuna wa kumpinga (When He says Yes, no one can oppose Him)
Akikubariki, hakuna wa kunyang’anya (When He blesses You, no one can rescind it)
Akikuahidi, kwa wakati atimiza (What He promises, He will fulfill in time)
Anavyokuita, ndivyo ulivyo (When He calls, that is how You are)

Refrain
Huyu Yesu, huyu Yesu (This Jesus x2)
si hadithi, mwambie (Is not fake, tell Him)

Umetangaziwa nini? (What have you been told?)
Umetabiriwa nini? (What has been prophesied about you?)
Maishani mwako, mwambie (About your life, tell him)
Unaumizwa na nini? (What hurts you;)
Je, una hofu gani? (What makes you afraid,)
Maishani mwako, mwambie (About your life? Tell Him)

Verse 2, Refrain
