Adui aliomba, anisiagasiage (The enemy prayed to crush me)
Anisiagasiage, kama ngano (To grind me like wheat)
Lakini Yesu aliomba, mimi nisimame (But Jesus asked me to stand)
Mimi nisimame kwa wema weke (Me to stand on His Goodness)

Tena anipepete, kama ngano (And then winnow me like wheat)

Mimi nisimame kwa wema wake (That I may stand on his Goodness)
Ndio leo nimesimamama (That is is why today I stand)

Nimesimama! Kwa rehema na neema yake (I am still standing! By His Mercy and Grace)
Ile gharama, ya uhai wangu/dhambi zangu (That ransom on my life/ on my sins)

Na Mungu (By God)
Sisi ndo wale tuliobarikiwa (We are the Blessed ones)
Na Baba (By God)(Repeat)
Sina hela, sina pesa, sina dough (I have no money, I’m broke)
Sina gari, sina nyumba, sina ooh (I have no car, no house, I have nothing)
Kila kukikucha mi naiwaza kesho (Every new day I worry about tomorrow)
Tapiga moyo konde, nitafika oh (But I keep my strength, I will arrive)
Wanaokudharau leo, watakusalimia kesho – kwa heshima (Those who despise you today, will greet you tomorrow-with honor)
Wanaokusemasema wakakusifia kesho (Those who gossip about you will praise you tomorrow)
Unaokula nao na kucheka nao (The ones you eat with and laugh with)
Kesho ukidondoka hutokuwa nao (If you fall tomorrow, you will not be with them)
Piga moyo konde, wakati wa Mungu, wakati sahihi (Take heart, the time of God is the right time)
Piga moyo konde, wakati wa Baba, wakati sahihi (Take heart, the time of God is the right time)
(Refrain)
Jana niliumwa, nikadhani nitakufa (Yesterday I was sick, I thought I was going to die)
Leo niko fiti, ukinicheki nadundika (Today I am fine, if you look at me, I am healthy)
Nilipoachishwa kazi walidhani nitasota (When they fired me, they thought I will be destitute)
Leo nipo juu ile kibosi nadundika (Today I am elevated and celebrating)
Kama unaamini umesaidiwa na Mungu (If you believe that You have been helped by God)
Piga kelele (Make noise)
Kelele moja, Eh! (One time, Ee!)
Kelele mbili, Eeh! Eeeh! (Two times, Eh! Eh!)
