Uninyunyiziaye maji, wakati wa ukame (The one who refreshes me during the time of drought)
Huwachi ninyauke, Oh nakupenda (You do not let me wither, Oh I love you)(Repeat)
Refrain:
Nakupenda, nakupenda (I love you, I love you)
Mnyunyizi wangu, Oh nakupenda (My refresher, I love you)(Repeat)
Kama mti kando ya mto, Hivyo ndivyo ilivyo (Like a tree by the streams of waters, that is how I am)
Mnyunyizi wangu, Oh nakupenda (My refresher, I love you)(Repeat)
Nakupamba na sifa zangu, Wewe kwangu Ebeneza (x3) (I adore you with my praises, you are Ebenezer to me)
Verse:
Nakuinua, wastahili, wapendeza, Mungu wangu (I lift you, you deserve, my God you are lovely)
Jina lako, takatifu, wewe kwangu… Oh (Your name, is holy, to me… Oh)
Refrain:
Nakwita Adonai; Ewe U Bwana wangu (I call you Adonai: You are my Lord)
Nakwita Jehova Nissi; bendera yangu – vita ni vyako (I callĀ you Jehovah Nissi: My banner – the fight is yours)
Nakuita Jireh; [..?], hakuna chochote (I call you Jireh: [..?], There’s nothing too hard for you)
Jehovah Shammah; pamoja nami (Jehovah Shammah; you are with me)
Refrain:
Nimekubali, nasema ndio (I accept, I say yes)
Kwako ni salama, nasema ndio (It is safe in you, I say yes)
Nimekubali, nasema ndio Bwana (I accept, I say yes Lord)
Najitoa dhabihu iliyo hai Bwana nitumie(I give myself as a living sacrifice, Lord use me)
Bwana watafuta watakao kuabudu kwa roho na kweli (Lord you look for those who worship in spirit and truth)
Na wakati ndio huu naamini umefika Baba (And I believe that the time is now father)
Nisaidie kutenda kulingana na mapenzi yako yahweh (Help me to do your will)
Kutembea na maagizo yako moyoni mwangu (To walk with your instructions in my heart)
(Refrain)
Mimi ni chombo mikononi mwako Yahweh (I am a vessel in your hands Yahweh)
Tena ni udongo na wewe mfinyanzi Baba (And clay, while you are the potter)
Nifinyange, nitengeneze (Mold me and make me)
Uishe nafsi yangu, chochote mimi nitatenda (Use my life, I follow your will)
(Refrain)
Niumbie moyo safi, ili niweze kukutukuza (Create in me a clean heart to worship you )
Bwana nitenge kwa ajili ya jina lako Baba (Set me aside for the sake of your name)
Wala usinitenganishe na uwepo wako (Do not separate me from your presence)
Mimi Bwana, nimekubali njia zako Baba (Father I accept your ways)
Chorus:
Nisizame Yesu, uniokoe (That I might not drown, save me Jesus)(x2)
NIsizame uniokoeĀ (Save me, that I may not drown) (x2) (repeat)
Magonjwa yananiandama (Illnesses hound me)
Hospitali zote nimaliza (I have visited all hospitals)
Kupona sijapona (I have not received healing)
Magonjwa yananiandama (Illnesses hound me)
Madaktari wote nimemaliza (I have visited all doctors)
Kupona sijapone (I have not received healing)
Njoo haraka unisaidie, nisizame (Come quickly and save me that I may not drown)
Uje hima unikoe, nisizame (Come fast and save me, that I may not drown)
(Chorus)
Naona huduma imekuwa nzito (I see my ministry becoming heavy)
Naona huduma hii Baba yangu kama ni mzigo (I feel my ministry as a burden, Father)
Naona huduma imekuwa nzito (I fell the burden becoming heavy)
Umekuwa kama mwiba (It has become a thorn)
Lakini nakuita unisaidie, nisizame (But I call unto you to help me, that I may not drown)
Nisizame Baba, nisizame (Don’t let me drown father)
(Chorus)
Elimu nimemaliza (I have completed my education)
Kazi nimetafuta, nimekosa (Looked for work, to no avail)
Mwenye nymba naye amekukuja (The landlord has come)
Akidai kodi ya nyumbaĀ (He wants the rent for the house)
Hata shilingi mimi sina (And here I am penniless)
Nimejaribu kuomba kwa majirani (I have tried borrowing from neighbors)
Ndugu zangu wote hakuna msaada (From my brothers, there’s no help)
Marafiki zangu, hakuna msaada (From my friends, there’s no help)
Ni wewe tu msaada wangu, nisizame (You are my only hope, that I may not drown)
Hili ni ombi langu, nisizame (This is my prayer, that I may not drown)
Nimeligusa vazi lako Eloheenu (I have touched your garment Eloheenu[God my God])
Nayo maisha yangu, kayabadilisha (And my life is changed)
Nimekujua, Hoseenu (I have known you Hoseenu[creator])
Tena kanipa uhai bila kulipa (You’ve granted me salvation for free)
Mie nitaubeba mzigo wako rabii (I shall carry your burden Rabbi[teacher])
Kwa kuwa mzigo wako ni mwepesi sana (For your burden is light)
Nira yako ni laini, we masiya (And your yoke is easy Messiah[savior])
Natamani nifanane nawe siku zote (I desire to be like you all the days of my life)
Refrain:
Wewe ndiye Mungu, hubadiliji (You are a God that never changes)
Rohi Baba yangu, nakuabudu (Rohii [my shepherd] my Father, I worship you)
Uaminifu wako, hauna kipimo (Your faithfulness cannot be measured)
Nayo matendo yako ninayajua (And I know your works) (Repeat)
Nilikuwa mtoto, sasa mi ni mzee (I was young, now I’m old)
Sijapata siku moja umenitenga (Yet you’ve never abandoned me)
Nisi wanilinda, kama mboni yako (Nisi you protect me as your iris)
Hesabu ya nywele zangu, waielewa (You know the number of my hair)
(Refrain)
Sasa Ebeneza, jibu langu (Now Ebenezer [my help], my answer)
Pumzi uhai wangu, tegemeo langu (My living breath, my confidence)
Huna mwisho wala huna mwanzo Yahweh (You have no beginning or end)
Natamani nifanane nawe siku zote (I desire to be like you all the days of my life)
