(Sung in Swahili)

Ufumo hauwezi kukusaidia (The structure will not help you)
Rafiki hawezi kukusaidia (Friends will not help you)
Mukuyu (?) hawezi kukusaidia (Practices(?) will not help you)
Mpenzi hawezi kukusaidia (Your lover will not help You)
Usheshindwa, yo hilo (You have been defeated by things)
Kwa mwanadamu hilo hilo (That is of the flesh)
Ulilete hilo, hilo (Bring them all)
Kwa Bwana Yesu, hilo hilo (To the Lord Jesus)
Amesema anatenda, umwamini (He said He will do it, believe Him)
Hajawai acha neno lipotee (He has never let His Word go in vain)
Alisema atatenda, nimeona (He said He will do it, and I’ve witnessed it)
Hajawahi shindwa kitu mfalme (The King has never been defeated)

Pre-Chorus:
Ndio yake moja, inabadilisha maisha (One yes from Him, changes lives)
Ndio yake moja, huleta amani (His one yes, brings peace)
Akisema sawa, utaheshimishwa (If He says yes, You will be respected)
Mwite tu, mwite tu, mwite tu (Just call Him, Just call Him, Just call Him)

Refrain:
Yupo mwenye majibu (The One with the answers is present)
Yeye asiye lala (The One who does not sleep)
Ndio, kwake ni ndio (Yes, in Him is Yes)
Hakuna, hakuna (Nothing, Nothing) (Repeat)

Kiti cha enzi, Kiti cha sifa (The Throne of authority, the Throne of praise)
Nyenyekea, utapata majibu (Humble yourself, You will receive your answers)
Kiti cha karne, zamani zote (The Throne of centuries, throne of ages)
Amini, amini, kuna jibu (Believe, believe, there is an answer)

Ameketi kwenye enzi (He is seated in authority)
Hakuna jambo gumu tena (There is nothing impossible again)
Kama afya, na uzima (Be it health, be it life)
Lolote, amini, amini (In everything, believe, believe)

Anajua maumivu (He knows the pain)
Anaona na machozi (He sees the tears)
Yeye ni Baba, yeye mlezi (He is the Father, He is the Caregiver)
Daima, daima, daima (Forever, forever forever)

(Pre-Chorus + Refrain)

Tunapoandamia, tegemea, egemea – Bwana (As we toil, as we trust, as we lean on)
Mbawani mwako ni salama, tena (We find shelter under Your wings, also)
Jemedari wa majeshi ya ushindi, ushinde lote (The General of the Army of Victory, conquer all)
Tutashinda kwa heshima tena (We shall be victorious in respect once again)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)

Amka, amka jivike nguvu (Awake and dress in power)
Eh Sayuni mtumishi wangu (Oh Zion, my servant)
Nimekuita kwa jina lako (For I have called you by your name)
Utimize kusudi langu (To complete my will)
Kuwafungua waliofungwa (To release the bound)
Na mateka uhuru wao (And the hostages, their freedom)
“Ndio Bwana, nitaenda (“Yes Lord, I shall go)
Ndio Bwana, nitafanya” (Yes Lord, I shall do it)

Naujua wito wangu, kusudi lako (I know my calling and your will)
Nilitimize (To be done)
Sitikiswi, na majaribu (I am not shaken by trials)
Alieanzisha atamaliza (He who began the work will perfect it)
(Repeat)

Nijapopita kwenye bonde, kwenye maji mengi
(Though I pass through the valley, through many waters)
Naimarika kwa nguvu zako, yanijenga imani
(I am uplifted by Your Strength, it builds my faith)
Hutaniasha mpaka nifike (You will never leave me until I arrive)
Hutanicha niabike (You will not let me be ashamed)
Kwenye giza, ukafanyika mwanga (In darkness, You are light)
Baharini, ukafanyika njia (You made a way through the sea)
Na yule tubu ukanipa ushindi (And the one who confessed, You gave me victory)
Na kwenye mapango ya simba, nikatoka salama
(And from the lions’ cave, I emerged safe)
Na jangwani, ukafanya kisima (In the desert, you created a well)
Kile kisima, kisima cha uzima (The well, the well of life)
Na milango ya gereza ikafunguka (The doors of the jails were opened)
Nami nikawa huru, huru kwelikweli (And I became free, free indeed)

Naliona haki yangu (I see my justice)
Utukufu, jina jipya (Holiness and a new Name)
Mi mshindi, Mi mshindi, Mi mshindi! Daima (I victorious forever)
(Repeat)

Bridge:
Waliyoshindana nawe, wataaibika
(Those who fought you will be ashamed)
Wanioshindana nawe, wataanguka mbele yako
(Those who fought you, will fall before you)
Asema Bwana (Says the Lord) x3

Naliona haki yangu (I see my justice)
Utukufu, jina jipya (Holiness and a new Name)
Mi mshindi, Mi mshindi, Mi mshindi! Daima (I victorious forever)
(Repeat)

Mimi ni mshindi, ni mshindi (I am victorious)
Mi mshindi, Mi mshindi (I am victorious, victorious)
Mi mshindi daima (I victorious forever)

(Sung in Swahili)

Siogopi kuchelewa (I’m not afraid of being late)
Sababu Mungu wangu hachelewi, wala hawai
(Because God does not delay, nor does he ever)
Siogopi mateso yangu (I’m not afraid of my tribulations)
Sababu ye ananipeleka, kwenye ukuu wangu
(For He is taking me to my greatness)
Siogopi kudharauliwa (I’m not afraid of being despised)
Maana ndiko kunakonipa heshima yangu
(Because there is where I receive my honor)
Siogopi adui zangu (I’m not afraid of my enemies)
Maana najua ni adui wa Mungu wangu
(For I know that they are the enemies of my God)
Siogopi hivi vita vyangu (I’m not afraid of my battles)
Maana ndivyo vinaivyonipa ushindi wangu
(For they are they that will bring me my victory)

Refrain:
Siogopi, Siogopi! (I’m not afraid)
Siogopi, Siogopi! (I’m not afraid)
I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid!
I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid! (Repeat)

Nimepewa mamlaka (I have been given authority)
Siogopi nge na nyoka (I’m not afraid of the scorpion or the snake)
N’tawakanyaka vichwa vyao (I shall crush their heads)
Haitanidhuru sumu zao, yaani maneno yao (Their poison will not harm me, meaning their words)
Siogopi kutembea kwenye giza (I’m not afraid of walking in the darkness)
Maana mi ni nuru ninaangaza (For I am the light that lights the way)
Siogopi kusimama juu ya mlima (I’m not afraid if standing on the hill)
Maana najua siwezi sitirika (For I know I shall not be hidden)
Siogopi moto, moto sababu (I am not afraid of the fiery fire, because)
Sababu, lazima nipite mimi dhahabu (I have to pass through to be refined as gold)
Ili nisimame, niwe imara, niwe kinara (So that I can stand, firmly, to be a rock)
Siogopi moto, moto sababu (I’m not afraid of the fiery fire, because)
Sababu, lazima nipite mimi dhahabu  (I have to pass through to be refined as gold)
Niwe hodari, niwe jasiri, niwe kamili! (To be strong, to be brave, to be complete!)

(Refrain)

Siogopi, Mungu uko na mimi (I’m not afraid, for God you are with me)
Mungu uko na mimi, Mungu uko na mimi
(God You are with me, You are with me God)
Siogopi, Baba uko na mimi (I’m not afraid, Father You are with me)
Baba uko na mimi, Baba uko na mimi
(Father You are with me, You are with me Father)
Uko na mimi, uko na mimi
(You are with me, You are with me)

Msiwatese yatima (Do not torment the orphans)
Nao ni watu, mbele za mungu (For they are humans before God)

Msiwatese! (Do not torment them!)
Wanalia ye ye ye (For they cry “ye, ye, ye”) x2

Ee Bwana wasaidie (Oh Lord, help them) (Repeat)

Wameumizwa sana na maneno ya watu (They have been hurt by people’s words)

Mali zao mmechukua ninyi ndugu zao
(Their brothers have snatched their property) x2
Wakija kuomba, chakula mwawanyima
(When they come to beg for food, you deny them)
Wakija kuomba, mwawafukuza kama mbwa
(When they come to beg, you chase them away like dogs)
Kuna siku, watoto wenu wataitwa yatima
(There may come a day that your children will be called orpans)
Na watateswa kama mlivyowatesa
(And be tormented as you tormented others).

Ee Mungu watazame yatima (Oh God, look upon the orphans)
Watie nguvu, wasikate tamaa
(Grant them strength, that they may not give up)

Eh Mungu, sikia kilio chao! (Oh God, hear their prayers)

Yesu, naomba unitazame mimi yatima
(Father I pray that you look unto me, an orphan)
Maana mama ameniacha (For my mother left me)
Walikuwepo nilidhamimiwa sana
(When she was alive, I was treasured)
Lakini kwa sasa dhamani yangu haipo tena
(But now my value is no longer there)
Nisaidie ewe Yesu (Help me, Oh Jesus)
Tunapokwenda, wewe ndiwe kimbilio
(Where we go, you are our safe refuge)
Kwanini mimi, kwanini mimi niitwe yatima?
(Why should I, why should I be called an orphan?)

Univute niwe karibu nawe (Draw me closer to You)
Bwana, mimi napendaga (Lord, this is my desire)
Mimi napenda niwe karibu na wewe (I desire to be close to You)
Bwana, niwe na wewe (Lord, to be with You)
Univute niwe karibu nawe (Draw me closer to You)
Bwana, mimi napendaga (Lord, this is my desire)
Maana hapa nilipo, Moyoni nina kiu zaidi
(For where I currently am, my spirit thirsts)
Kuwa karibu na wewe, Oh, mi napendanga
(To be close to You, is my desire)
Maana hapa nilipo, Moyoni nina kiu zaidi
(For where I currently am, my spirit thirsts)
Kuwa karibu na wewe, Oh, mi napendanga
(To be close to You, is my desire)

Mi nina haja na wewe Bwana (Lord, I desire You)
Ninatamani ukae nami (I desire that You abide with me)
Sioni mwingine, wala sijapata mwingine (I see none other, have found none other)
Ila ni wewe wa kunifaa (Only You satisfy me)
Mi wa kunitunza, Ila ni wewe (None else can keep me, Only You)

Tabibu wa karibu, Bwana (The close physician, Lord)
Usinipite pembeni Bwana, (Lord, do not pass me by)
Sina mwingine wa kunihurumia (I have none else merciful to me)
Pale ninapojeruhiwa (When I am hurt)
Na wanyanganyi, uwe karibu (By robbers, be close to me)
Wewe ni msamaria mwema utanihudumia (You are my Good Samaritan, will care for me)
Utanifunga majeraha (You will bind my wounds)
Unionyeshe pendo lako, maana wanipenda (Show me Your Love, for You love me)
Unionyeshe pendo lako, maana wanipenda (Show me Your Love, for You love me)

Sioni la kunifurahisha (I see nothing that give me joy)
Nikiwa mbali nawe Bwana (When I drift far from You)
Kama mtu nangolewa udongoni (Like man from clay)
Nitazinyaa na kudhoofika (I will degrade and fade away)
Ninaomba univute niwe karibu nawe (I pray that You draw me close to You)
Kama mti ulopandwa kandokado ya maji (Like a tree planted close to many waters)
Uzaao matunda mazuri (That bears good fruit)
Wala majani yake hayanyauki (And whose leaves do not wither)
Kila nitendalo lifanikiwe (That all I do will be successful)
Bwana naomba (Lord I pray)

Wewe ni maji ya uzima (You are the life-giving waters)
Wewe ni maji yaliyo hai (You are the living waters)
Kisima cha uzima, na upendo (The well of Life, and Love)
Kama ayala porini, ayatamanivyo maji (Like the deer in the desert pants for water)
Ndivyo nafsi yangu yakutamani wewe (Thus my spirit longs for You)
Fanya hima, usichelewe (Hurry, do not tarry)
Univute karibu nawe, niwe na wewe (Draw me close to You, that I be with You)

(Refrain)

Kukaa na wewe ni shauku pekee, ya moyo wangu Bwana
(To abide with me is my heart’s only prayer, Lord)
Hapa nilipo sidharika, natamani nipandishwe juu
(I am not satisfied with my situation, raise me up)
Univute karibu nawe, karibu zaidi ya jana
(Draw me close to You, closer than yesterday)
Uwe nuru niangazie, pendo lako kama maji
(Be my Light onto my path, Your Love like waters)
Nizame kwenye kisima, cha uwepo wako
(That I may soak in Your Presence)
Nimesoma katika neno lako — Zaburi, umesema
(For I have read Your words: You say in Psalms)
“Aketiye mahali pake pa siri pa aliye juu
(“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High)
Huyo atakaa katika uvuli wake Mwenyezi
(Will rest in the shadow of the Almighty)
Ataokolewa kwa mitego ya adui”
(They will be saved from the fowler’s snare)
Silaha zote na mishale, haitofanikiwa
(Neither the arrows nor other weapons shall succeed)
Silaha zote na mishale, haitofanikiwa
(Neither the arrows nor other weapons shall succeed)

Nichukue uniweke hapo Bwana
(Take me and place me there, Lord)
Hili ni ombi la moyo wangu
(This is the prayer of my heart)
Niketishe kwenye uwepo wako
(Seat me where Your Presence is)
Niketishe kwenye uwepo wako
(Sit me where Your Presence is)
Usiniache gizani Bwana, pekee yangu siwezi
(Do not leave me in the dark Lord, For I cannot do it by myself)
Kaa nami, karibu nami
(Abide with me, close to me)
Ndani yangu, nami ndani yako
(You in me, and I in You)
Univute karibu nawe, mikononi mwako
(Drae me closer to You, within Your arms)
Univute karibu nawe, niwe na wewe, Bwana
(Draw me closer to You, that I be with You, Lord)

(Refrain)
