Nijue pendo lake na (More of His love and)
Wokovu wake kamili (More of His saving fullness see)
Refrain:
Zaidi, zaidi (More, more)
Nimfahamu Yesu (More about Jesus)
Nijue pendo lake na (More of His love and)
Wokovu wake kamili (More of His saving fullness see) (Repeat)
Nataka nione Yesu (More about Jesus let me learn)

Kujidhihirisha kwangu (Showing the things of Christ to me)
(Refrain)
Nataka nifahamu (More about Jesus, in His Word)

Nataka nikae naye (More about Jesus on His throne)
Kwa mazungumzo zaidi (Riches in glory all His own)
Nizidi kuwaonyesha (More of His kingdom’s sure increase)
Wengine wokovu wake (More of His coming, Prince of Peace)

Nitaimba Halleluya asubuhi (I will sing Hallelujah in the morning)
Nitaimba Halleluya mchana (I will sing Hallelujah in the afternoon)
Nitaimba Halleluya jioni (I will sing Hallelujah in the evening)
Halleluya na hata usiku (Hallelujah even at night)(Repeat)
Refrain:
Mhubiri anasema (The preacher says)
Kila jambo na wakati wake (Everything has its time)
Wa kupanda, na kuvuna (To plant and to harvest)
Wa kucheka na kulia (To laugh and to weep)
Halleluya nina wimbo (Hallelujah I have a song)
Wa kila wakati na kila majira (For every time and season)
Wimbo wa nyakati zote na majira yote (Song for all times and seasons)
Wimbo huo ni halleluya (That song is Hallelujah) (Repeat)
(Refrain)
Wakati wa kucheka, nitaimba (In times of laughter, I will sing)
Wakati wa kulia, nitaimba (In times of tears, I will sing)
Wakati wa furaha, nitaimba (In times of joy, I will sing)
Wakati wa huzuni, nao nitaimba (In times of sadness, I will sing)
Haleluya wimbo wa nyakati zote (Hallelujah song for all times)
Halleluya wimbo wa majira yote (Hallelujah song for all seasons)
Halleluya wimbo wa sifa shukrani (Hallelujah song of praise and thanksgiving)
Iko siri katika Haleluya (There is a secret in Hallelujah) (Repeat)
Hata nikiwa sina chakula, Isinifanye kusahau (Even if I lack food, don’t let me forget)
Ulinilisha nikasaza (You fed me until I was full)
Hata nikiwa sina mavazi (Even if I have no clothing)
Isinifanye nifukuru (Do not let me blaspheme)
Na kusahau umeniweka hai (And forget you kept me alive)
Ona wapo marafiki (To see my friends )
Wanakosa kula na kuvaa (Though they lack food and clothing )
Hawalalamiki, wanakushukuru tu (They do not complain, but give thanks to You)
Mimi eh, nilikupa nini Baba (As for me, what did I give You Father)
Cha kunipa kibali (That You’ve favored me)
Kwa siku zilizofurahisha? (With days that give me joy?)
Taabu kidogo zisinifanye nikusahau (A little trouble should not let me forget)
Umeshatenda mengi – nikiwa hapa (That You’ve much that I have witnessed)
Shida itapita, bado kidogo (Troubles will pass in a little while)
Ikiwa nitachoka niiunue (Should I tire, lift me)
Refrain:
Nipe, kukumba wema (Grant me to remember good)x3
Nipe kukumba wema wako (Grant me to remember Your Goodness)
Hata kwenye bonde hili la mauti (Even in this valley of death)
Nakumbuka nilikuita, (I remember that I called)
Na wewe ukaitika Baba(And Father You answered)
Kutegemea akili zangu, na mawazo yangu (Depending on my wits and my thoughts)
Kutanifanya niendelee (Will make me continue)
niendelee kulalamika (Continue to complain)
Kuna kipindi najisahau (There are times I forget)
na kujivunia mafanikio (And boast of my achievements)
Wengine naona takataka (I see others as rubbish)
Nikumbushe mi ni mtu tu (Remind me that I am but a man)
na dunia tunapita (The world shall pass away)
Uhai wangu si faida bila wewe (My life is not profitable without You )
Mungu wewe ni mkuu (God You are greater)
kuliko vile nakutazama Baba (Than what I can fathom, Father)
Unisamehe, unisamehe (Forgive me, forgive me)
Kuna nyakati nadhani (There are times I suppose)
hii dunia labda ni ya ushindani (That this world maybe is for competition)
Natumia akili zangu za ndani (I use my inner thoughts)
Ila bado nashindwa kuendelea (Only I am unable to continue)
Nikimbushe nisidhani (Remind me not to think)
Wakifanikiwa tuna upinzani (That should they succeed, we are in opposition)
Nifundishe kuwaombea amani (Teach me to pray peace for them)
Na utatenda kwa wakati (And You will act in time)
(Na ikiwa) Kama nikisahau (Should I forget)
Unikumbushe mi mtoto wako (Remind me, your child) (Repeat)
Oh Mfalme wa amani (Oh Prince of Peace)
Nimekaa katika mlima huu, kwa muda mrefu Mfalme (I have sat on this hill for a long time)
Sasa ninaomba Mfalme wa amani (Now I pray, Prince of Peace)
Usinipite! Usiwe mbani nami Jehova (Do not pass me by! Lord, do not be far from me)
Ninakupenda Jehova, asante (I love You Jehovah, I thank You)
Refrain:
Usinipite Bwana, usiufiche uso wako (Lord do not pass me by, do not hide Your Face)
Unapozuru watu wengine, usinipite Bwana (When You call on others, do not Pass me)
Usinitupe Bwana, usiwe mbali nami (Lord do not abandon me, be not far from me)
Unapozuru watu wengine, usinipite Bwana (When You call on others, do not pass me) (Repeat)
Watakatifu wamekusanyika, wanainama mbele zako (The holy ones are gathered, prostrate before You)
Wanasema Mtakatifu, hakuna kama Wewe (Say Oh Holy one, there is no one like You)
Twaungama na makerubi na maserafi (We confess with the Cherubim and the Seraphim)
Na wazee ishirini na wanee, wenye uhai wanne (And 24 elders, and the four beings)
Tunasema uheshimiwe, tunasema uabudiwe (Saying be glorified, be worshiped)
Tunasema uinuliwe, hakuna kama wewe (We say be lifted, there is none like You)
(Refrain)
Umesema watu wangu, walioitwa kwa Jina langu (You have said that me people, called by my name)
Wakiomba na kutubu, utasikia kutoka juu (If they pray and confess, You will listen from heaven)
Utaiponya nchi yao, utaondoa uchungu wote (You will heal their land, You shall remove all pain)
Ninaomba Masiya, usinipite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)
Kuna wale wako vitandani, hawawezi kutembea (There are bedridden, who cannot walk)
Ninaomba Masiya, usiwapite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)
Kuna wale wameachwa, na waume wao (There are those abandoned by their husbands)
Ninaomba Masiya, usiwapite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)
Kuna wale wameachwa, na wake wao (There are those abandoned by their wives)
Ninaomba Masiya, usiwapite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)
Kuna wale wameachwa na wazazi wao (There are those abandoned by their parents)
Ninaomba Masiya, usiwapite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)
(Refrain)
Nimesikia historia yako, unainua walio chini (I have heard Your history, You lift the afflicted)
Ninaomba Masiya, usinipite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)
Magoti yangu yamezama chini, nainua mikono yangu (My knees are sunk, I lift my hands)
Ukiniacha nitaenda wapi? Usinipite Bwana (If You abandon me, Where will I go? Do not pass me by Lord)
Uko na moyo wa huruma, uko na macho ya huruma (You are Merciful, You see with mercy)
Ninaomba Masiya, usinipite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)
(Refrain)
Magoti yangu yamezama chini, nainua mikono yangu (My knees are sunk, I lift up my hands)
Ninasema siwezi Baba, bila wewe (I say without You Father, I cannot)
Wewe ndiwe rafiki yangu, wewe ndiwe kipenzi changu (You are my Friend, You are my Love)
Mimi sina mwingine tena, usinipite Bwana (I have no other, do not pass my by Lord)
Si kwa bahati mbaya uko hai leo (It is not by chance that you are alive today)
Na si kwamba wewe ni mjanja kuliko wale waliolala (It’s not that you’re cleverer than those who are asleep)
Ila yote ni muujiza wa Mungu tu (But all this, is the miracle of God)
Ni muujiza tu (It is only a miracle)
Nikilala niamke, nikiona natembea (When I sleep and then rise, when I see myself walking)
Mwenzenu, kwangu ni muujiza (Comrade, to me it is a miracle)
Asubuhi kunakucha, Jioni iikingia (When the morning dawns, and the evening arrives)
Maisha yangu, mimi ni muujiza tu (My life, I am just a miracle)
Siku ikipita, mwezi na mwaka unakwisha (The days passes, the month and the year end)
Mimi, hii kwangu ni muujiza tu (To me, all this is a miracle)
Ewe Yesu, Ee Yesu, Bwana wangu we (Jesus, Oh Jesus, Oh my Lord)
Oh kwangu ni muujiza (All this is a miracle)
Refrain:
Mimi ni muujiza, maisha yangu ni muujiza (I am a miracle, my life is a miracle)
Ee Bwana, we kwangu ni muujiza (Oh Lord, You are my miracle)
Nikilala ni muujiza, nikiamka ni muujiza (When I sleep and when I rise, it is a miracle)
Ee Bwana, we kwangu ni muujiza (Oh Lord, to me You are my miracle)
Kuna waliolala, hawakuamka (There are those who fell asleep and never rose)
Ee Bwana naona ni muujiza (Oh Lord I see all as miracles)
Walioanza safari, hawakufika (Those who started the journey, and never arrived)
Mimi leo, najiona mi muujiza (Today, I see myself as a miracle)
Kuwa hai, kutangaza neno lako (To be alive, to spread Your Word)
Bwana kwangu, mimi ni muujiza (Lord to me, I am a miracle)
Sina sababu, ya kunyamaza (I do not have a reason to be silent)
Maana kwangu, wewe Bwana ni muujiza (For to me, You Lord are a miracle)
