Nilikuwa gizani nikitafuta njia (I was in darkness looking for away)
Nikijifunza kusimama baada ya kuanguka (Teaching myself to stand after falling down)
Kila jeraha lilinifanya imara (All the wounds made me stronger)
Leo ninasimama na nguvu mpya moyoni (Today I stand with new strength in my heart)
Ninaacha jana nyuma yangu (I leave yesterday behind me)
Naamini kesho yangu (I trust in my tomorrow)
Refrain:
It’s a new beginning
Mwanzo wa kila jema (The beginning of all good things)
Ya kale hayapo tena (The past is no longer relevant)
Nimefuta, ninaanza upya now (I have erased it, I start anew now)
It’s a new beginning
Sitazami ya nyuma tena (I do not consider what is behind me)
Machozi hayapo tena (Tears are no longer there)
Nimefuta, ninaanza upya, now (I have erased it, I start anew now)
It’s a new beginning
Safari si rahisi ila naendelea (The journey is not easy, yet I persist)
Kila hatua, inanisogeza mbele (Every step, moves me forward)
Sauti yenye tumaini,inaniongoza (The voice of hope leads me)
Najua nitafika, naamini (I know I will arrive, I believe)
Ninaacha jana nyuma yangu (I leave yesterday behind me)
Naamini kesho yangu (I trust in my tomorrow)
(Refrain)
Ninasonga mbele, sitarudi nyuma (I move forward, I will not turn back)
God is me
Refrain:
Hatua, hatua zangu (Steps, my steps)
Zinaongozwa, na Bwana (Are led by the Lord)
Hatua, hatua zangu (Steps, my steps)
Zinaongozwa, na Bwana (Are led by the Lord)
Nikitaka kusogea, sogea (If I want to advance)
Ananisogeza (He advances me)
Nikitaka kupandisha panda (If I want to climb)
Ananipandisha (He lifts me up)
Nikitaka kusogea, sogea (If I want to advance)
Ananisogeza (He advances me)
Nikitaka kupandisha panda (If I want to climb)

Panda, panda, panda, panda (Climb up, climb, climb)
Hatua! (Step!)
Kumbe hatua zangu, zinaongozwa na wewe (Truly my steps are led by You)
Mikakati yangu, inapangwa na wewe (My strategies, are planned by you)
Kila stepu stepu, natembea na wewe (I walk all my steps with You)
Kila mahali, natembea na wewe (I walk with you in every place)
Huku na huko, natetembea na wewe (Here and there, I walk with You)
Kibali chako, uwepo wako (Your approval and your presence)
Neema yako, kibali chako (Your grace and your favor)
Tembea nami x2 Usiniachilie x2 (Walk with me, do not leave me)
Nikaanguka, nikajikwaa (To fall, to stumble)
(Refrain)
Ni nani awezaye kuhesabu nywele za kichwa changu na aseme! (Who can count the number of hairs on my head, tell me!)
Ni nani awezaye kuhesabu hatua za Mungu aendapo aseme! (Who can count the steps of God where He goes, tell me!)
Amenichora kweye vitanga vya mikono yake x2 (He has drawn me in the palms of His hands)
Ameandika jina langu mikoni mwake (He has written my name on His hands)
Ameandika na siku zangu kwa damu yake (He has written my days by His blood)
Nikiongozwa na nani? Nikiongozwa naye (Led by whom? Led by Him)
Nikitembezwa na nani? Ninatembe na yeye (Walking with who? I am walking with Him)
Baraka zangu, mikononi mwake (My blessings are in His hands)
Amani yangu, mikononi mwake (My peace is in His hands)
Nainuliwa, mikononi mwake (I am lifted by His hands)
Hatua, hatua zangu (My steps, my steps)
Zinaongozwa, na Bwana (Are led by the Lord)
Akikanyaga, nami nakanyaga pale (Where He steps, there I step)
Akikosha, nami ninakosha pale (Where He cleans, there I clean)
Akikanyaga, nami nakanyaga pale (Where He steps, there I step)
Alama kaniachia x2 (His scars are the testimony)
Nasonga, nasonga (I move, I advance)
Wewe ni mungu, (You are God)
Huchelewi wala hawai (You are never too late nor too early)
Unafanya mambo kwa wakati (You do things in Your perfect time)
Nakuamini (I trust in You)
Yale machungu (All the pain)
Hayakuja kunitoa uhai (Did not cost me my life)
Yalikuja kunipa imani ya kukuamini (They came to give me the faith to trust in You)
Pre-Refrain:
Nitakushukuru kama nikipata leo (I will give thanks if I receive today)
Nitakushukuru kama nikikosa kesho (And will thank you if I lack tomorrow)
Mi ninachojua we huna upendeleo (All I know is that you do not show favoritism)
Na fahamu zako zimenizidi upeo (And your thoughts are beyond my understanding)
Leo zamu yangu umenikumbuka na mimi (Today my turn to be remembered has come)
Mbona siamini, nitakulipa nini? (Why should I doubt? How can I repay you?)
Leo zamu yangu umenikumbuka na mimi (Today my turn to be remembered has come)
Mbona siamini, nitakulipa nini? (Why should I doubt? How can I repay you?)
Refrain:
Asante Baba (Thank you, Father) x3
Ninakushukuru Baba (I am grateful, Father) (Repeat)
Baba ninachojua wakati wako ni sahihi (Father, all I know is that Your timing is perfect)
Hivyo nitasubiria wakati wangu (And so I will wait for my time)
Wala sitolia lia (And I shall not cry)
Kwa ndugu na majirani (To my family and neighbors)
Ila ninachojua unaniona (All I know is that You see me
Tegemeo letu ni Mungu (Our hope is on God)
Hawezi kutuangusha (He will never let us down)
Wakati wengine, wanategemea nguvu zao (When others depend on their strengths)
Sisi za kwetu, zinatoka kwa Mungu (Ours come from God)
Hatima ya maisha yetu, ni mikononi mwake (Our life’s fate are in His hands)
Maana ametuchora kwenye viganja vyake (For He has drawn us on His palms)
Wanadamu walinisahau (People forgot me)
Kwenye mipango yao (In their plans)
Sababu waliona sifa ndani yao (For they elevated themselves)
Walinipo nitazama wakanidharau (And despised me)
Jambo moja najua kuhusu Mungu (But one thing I know about God)
Anasahau dhambi tu, ila si mtu (He forgives sins, and not a person)
Na vile nimefanana na yeye (And the way I am like Him)
Hawezi sahau sura yake (He will not forget His face)
Refrain:
Ah! Eh! Kwa msaada wa Mungu (Ah! Eh! With God’s help)

Tutatenda makuu (We will do great things)
Maana neema yake iko juu yetu (For His grace is upon us)
Hatutaishia njiani (We shall not fall by the wayside)
Tena nguvu zake zimetufunika (And His power is over us)
Hatutaogopoa chochote (We shall not fear anything)
Palipo na milima atafanya tambarare (Where there are hills, he has made flat)
Atainyosha njia yetu (He straightens our paths)
Palipo na ugumu atafanya wepesi (Where there are hardships, he has made ease)
Hatutatumia nguvu zetu (We shall not use our strengths)
Maana atatubeba mabegani mwake, hatutaanguka (For He carries us on His shoulders, we shall not fall)
(Refrain)
(Nani Anaamini?) Mimi naamini (Who believes? I believe that)
Kwa msaada wake Mungu nitafanya makuu (With the Help of God, I shall do great things)

Awa msaada wake Mungu nitatenda makuu (With the help of God, I will do great things)(Repeat)

Wangeona naibika ila neema yako tu (They would have seen me ashamed, if not by Your grace)
Nilikuwa wa kutupwa, ila neema yako tu (I would have been abandoned, if not by Your grace)
Afya hii, pumzi hii (This life, this breath)
