(Sung in Swahili)

Spoken:
Mungu anaweza kufanya njia jangwani (God can make a way in the jungle)
Na mito ya maji nyikani (And rivers in the desert)
Kama alifanya masika na kiangazi (Like he created Spring and Summer)
Anaweza kubadili majira, pia na wakati (He can change seasons and time)

Giza, totoro yanizingira (Deep darkness surrounds me)
Miale haijanifikia (The rays (of sunshine) does not reach me)
Ilhali kumekucha, pambazuka (Even though it is dawn, there is light)
Imani, yashuka yadidimia (My faith drops and weakens)
Amani nayo yafifia (And peace flees from me)
Eloi, Lamasabaktani (Elo, Lamasabakhtani?)

Refrain:
Yuko Mungu, anayeweza (There is God who is able)
Yuko Mungu, anayetenda (There is God able to do)
Mwamini Yeye! (Trust in Him!)
Mwamini Yeye, utoaibika (Trust in Him, you will not be ashamed)

Giza likiwa ni nzito (When darkness is heavy)
Bwana atawasha taa (The Lord will shine a light)
Sababu Mungu mwenye Amandla (Because God is the one with the Strength)
Atarejesha amani, (He will restore your peace)
Atarejesha furaha (He shall restore your joy)
Ulivyovipoteza kwa muda mrefu (The one you’ve lost for a long time)
Atarejesha Amandla (The Powerful one will return it)

(Refrain)

Repeat: Mungu pekee Ndiye awezaye (Only God is able)
Pale ninaposhindwa, nani wa kuniwezesha? (When I am unable, who grants me strength?)
Nikiwa vitani, nani wa kunishindia? (When I’m in battle, who is my champion?)
Napokuwa mdhaifu, nani wa kunipa nguvu? (When I am weak, who gives me strength?)
Ninapotia shaka nani wa kuniongoza (When I am doubtful, who leads me?)

Yuko Mungu, Mungu Yupo (There is God, God is there)
Oh…

(Refrain)

Nafasi Nyingine (Another Chance) Lyrics by Joel Lwaga

(Sung in Swahili)

Mavumbi umenifuta yote (You have cleansed all my dirt)
Habari umebadili yote (You have changed all my news)
Machozi umenifuta yote (You have wiped all my tears)
Aibu umeondoa yote (You have removed all my shame)

Umeniita mwanaye (You called me Your son)
Niliyekuwa mtumwa (When I was a slave)
Umenisimamisha (You stood me)
Katika wingi wa neema (In the multitude of grace)
Na umeniketisha mahali pa juu sana (And sat me on a high place)

Bridge:
Ninaucheka wakati uliopita (I laugh at the past)
Nikiufurahia ule ujao (And joyful of the future)
Ninaucheka wakati uliopita (I laugh at the past)
Nikiufurahia ule ujao (And joyful of the future)(Repeat)

Repeat: Nafasi nyingine (Another chance)
Mara umenipa (For You have given me)
Umenipenda bila kukoma (You have loved me unceasingly)
Neema yako imeniinua tena (Your Grace has lifted me high)
Umenipa tena bila kuchoka (You have given me without tiring)

Refrain:
Mungu wa neema, ah neema (God of Grace, oh Grace)
Ah wa neema, ah wa neema (Oh of Grace, of Grace)
Neema, aah, wa neema (Grace, oh, of Grace)
Neema, aah (Oh Grace)

Madaktari walisema sitapona tena (The doctors said I will not heal)
Walimu walisema nitafeli (The teachers said I will fail)
Ndugu na jamaa walisema nimeshindika (Brothers and relatives said I will not succeed)
Na kumbe wewe waniwazia mema (But you thought well of me)
Umri ulipo sogea (When my years advanced)
Walisema ndoa si fungu langu (They said that marriage is not my portion)
Nilipofiwa na mpendwa yule (When my loved one died)
Walisema sitaweza tena (They said that I would not make it)
Baada tu ya kufilisika (After I was broke)
Siku mbona wa kuniombea (While they prayed in my presence)
Na kumbe ndani yao, walifurahi niliyopitia (They rejoiced in my suffering in secret)

(Bridge)

(Refrain)

Nibadilishe (Change Me) Lyrics by Goodluck Gozbert

(Sung in Swahili)

Kwanza nimenyoa deni (First I have shaved my debt)
Napenda sana mitindo ya nywele (I like hair styles)
Kuruka usiseme (Never mind jumping)
Viwanja vipya ninakaribishwa (I am welcomed in new fields)
Kwenye kurasa za insta nakesha (I spend hours on Instagram)
Nikitafuta tena mabaya (Also looking for wickedness)
Nikisikia napata nalitafuta tena nalipa (When I get it, I look for it and even pay for it)
Wala silipi madeni (And yet I do not pay my debts)
Nikikopa nabet wala sionangi soni (When I borrow, I bet without shame)
Fungu la kumi kwangu iyo ni story (Tithes are a story to me)
Nasubiri jumapili (I only wait for Sundays)

Hata unajua sina imani (You know that I do not have faith)
Japo ninaitikia “Amin” (Even though I respond “Amen”)
Nasubiria ka ukitenda kwanza ndio nikubali (I awat for you to act before I believe)
Kama Yesu najua (I know of Jesus)
Na idadi ya vitabu najua (I have read many books)
Na yalipo makanisa najua (I know where the churches are)
Ila kuhudhuria nashindwa (But I am unable to attend them)

Bridge:
Kwa ibada nasinzia (I doze during services)
Sijui mdudu kaingia (I don’t know maybe illness is in me)
Ila nikiona beer (And yet when I see a beer)
Nasikia kuchangamka (I fell very energized) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Niko na ubaya, niko na ubaya (I have badness, I have wickedness)
Niko na ubaya Bwana nibadilishe (I have badness, change me Lord)

Kuna vinyimbo vinanichoma (There are songs that scald me)
Hasa ile parapanda (Especially the one ‘trumpet’ one)
Ikipigwa wakizikana (When it is played as they bury each other)
Pia sirudii kosa (Then I do not repeat my mistakes)
Maneno yananichoma ‘binadamu ni maua’ (Words that scald me: “Man is like a flower”)
Ikipita wiki moja masikini nasahau kabisa (Yet after a week, I forget them all)

(Bridge)

(Refrain)

Nakupa maisha na moyo utakase (I give you my life and soul to cleanse)
Ninapoanguka nishike nisimame (When I fall, hold me that I may stand) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

I Still Believe Lyrics by Angel Benard

(Languages: English, Swahili)

I see a better day ahead of me
I can see the light, I can see the light
Nainuka, nimeona nuru imenijia (I rise, I see a light on me)
Naiona siku njema mbele yangu (I see a good day ahead of me)
I can see the light, I can see the light
I’m rising up, nuru imenijia (The light is upon me)

Bridge:
Kuna mambo yameumiza (There are things that hurt me)
Kuna vitu sijaona (There are things I have yet to witness)
Kuna majibu nasubiria (There are answers I wait for)
(But) I still I believe (Repeat)

Refrain:
I, I still believe
I still believe in You
I, I still believe
I still believe (Repeat)

And this is my confidence
Nikiita waitikaa, wasikia (When I call you answer, you hear me)
I will soar like an eagle
Sipotezi, natulia (I do not lose sight, I am calm)

(Bridge + Refrain)

Wadumu Milele (You Reign Forever) Lyrics by Joel Lwaga

(Sung in Swahili)

Msimamizi wa mipaka ya bahari (The supervisor of the ocean borders)
Utunzaye ghala ya mvua (The keeper of the rains)
Waamua vita ya jua na mwezi (The judge in the war of the sun and the moon)
Upepo na mawimbi vyakujua (The winds and waves know You)
Uketiye mahali pa siri (The One who sits in the Secret Place)
Patakatifu palipo inuka (The raised Holy Place)
Kwa utangazo wa mwisho mwanzoni (By the prophecy of the end in the beginning)
Hakuna usilo lijua (There is nothing that You do not know)

Bridge:
Nani wakulinganishwa nawe Jehova mwenye nguvu
(Who is to be compared to You, Mighty Lord?)
Ufalme wako ni wa zamani zote vizazi vyote
(Your reign is forever through all generations) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Miaka kwako sio umri (Years do not age You)
Uzazi kwako si ukomo (Parenthood does not define You)
Miaka kwako sio umri (Years do not age You)
Uzazi kwako si ukomo (Parenthood does not define You)
Wadumu milele (You reign forever)
Wadumu milele (You reign forever)
Bwana wadumu milele (Lord You reign forever)
Wadumu milele (You reign forever)

Wewe Bwana ni kama maji (You Lord, are like the waters)
Maji yenye kina kirefu (Like the deep waters)
Maji yenye kina kirefu (For the deep waters)
Kamwe hayapigi kelele (Are still)
Ni kweli kuna mabwana wengi (It is true that there are many lords)
Lakini wewe ni Bwana wa mabwana (But You are the Lord of lords)
Ni kweli kuna miungu mingi (It is true that there are many gods)
Lakini wewe ni Mungu wa miungu (But You are the God of gods)

Siku kwako sio vipindi (Days are not episodes to You)
Majira kwako sio ishara (Seasons are not signs to You)
Ufikiwi kwa mnara wa Babeli (You are not reached by the Tower of Babel)
Jina lako ni ngome imara (Your Name is a safe refuge)

(Bridge)

(Refrain)
