(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Ni nani aliye Mungu, Mungu ila Bwana
(Who is like God, if not the Lord?)
Ni nani aliye Mwamba, Mwamba ila Mungu
(Who is the rock, the Solid Rock if not God?)
Ni Mungu ndiye anifungaye mshipi wa nguvu, aha!
(It’s God who who girds me with strength)
Ni Mungu ndiye kimbilio la unyonge wangu, aha!
(It is God who is my refuge in my weakness)
Naye anaifanya kamilifu njia yangu
(He who makes my path complete)
Ni Mungu ndiye anifungaye mshipi wa nguvu, aha!
(It’s God who who girds me with strength)
Ni Mungu ndiye kimbilio la unyonge wangu, aha!
(It is God who is my refuge in my weakness)
Naye anaifanya kamilifu njia yangu
(He who makes my path complete)

Ni yeye Bwana aliye nguvu zangu nampenda sana
(He is the Lord with the strength, I love Him)
Ni yeye Jabali langu na boma langu na Mwokozi wangu
(He is my rock, my shelter and my Saviour)
Mungu wangu, mwamba wangu ninayemkimbilia
(My God, My rock whom I run to)
Ngao yangu, na pembe ya wokovu wangu, na ngome yangu
(My shield, the cornerstone of my salvation and my refuge)

(Refrain)

Katika shida zangu nilimwita Bwana “ee Bwana”
(In the midst of my trials I call the Lord “Oh Lord”)
Na kumlalamikia Mungu “ee Mungu”
(I bring my complaints to God “Oh God”)
Akaisikia sauti yangu hekaluni mwake
(He heard my voice in His Temple)
Kilio changu kikaingia masikioni mwake
(My cries reached His ears)

(Refrain)

Bwana alinitendea, sawasawa na haki yangu
(Lord dealt with me according to my rights)
Akanilipa sawasawa na haki yangu
(And He repaid me according to my rights)

(Refrain)

Nitamwita Bwana astahiliye kusifiwa
(I shall call upon the Lord who deserves the praise)
Hivyo nitaokoka na adui zangu
(And thus I shall be saved from my enemies)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)

Ajabu imo ndani yako (Wonderful things are to be found in You)
Matendo yako bahati (Your works are not due to luck)
Ni kamili, si hadithi (They are perfect, not tales)
Ukitenda umetenda Bwana (Lord, If You do You’ve done) (Repeat)

Matendo yako (The work of Your hands)
Yanatisha kama nini (Are terrifying)
Matendo yako (Your works)
Yanatetemesha (Cause trembling)

(From the top)

Bwana wewe si hadithi (Father You are not fiction)
Wewe si simulizi (You are not a story)
Bwana wewe ni kweli (Lord You are real)
U hai, u milele (You are alive, You are forever)
We si story za kale (You are not a tale of the past)
Za mababu wa kale (Stories from our forefathers)
Bwana wewe ni kweli (Lord You are truth)
U hai, u milele (You live, You are forever)

Bwana wewe ndiwe Mungu (Lord, You are God)
Huhitaji matangazo wakujue (You do not need announcements to be known)
Matendo yako yanajieleza (Your work speak for You)
Kuwa wewe ni kweli (That You are Truth)(Repeat)

Response: Ni kweli (It is the truth)
Kwamba nguvu zako (That Your might)
Zinajieleza (Speak for itself) x2
Kwamba matendo yako (That Your works)
Yanajieleza siku hadi siku (Speaks for itself day after day)
Yanajieleza kwenye maisha yetu (Speaks in our life)
Yanajieleza kwenye uponyaji wetu (Speaks in our healing)
Yanajieleza Kwenye kuinuliwa (Speaks in our lifting up)

(Sung in Swahili)

Dunia inazama, naiangalia (I’m witnessing the world sinking)
Sina cha kufanya, rohoni naumia (I cannot do anything, my heart is broken)
Mawazo yangu oh, naangamia (In my thoughts oh, I am perishing)
Uko wapi Mungu wangu we, hunioni nalia? (God where are You, Do You not see my tears?)
Kumbe ulikuwa unanisikia, unaniangalia wewe! (Lo, You were listening to me, and watching over me!)
Likapotea tumaini langu, ila imani ikaingia (Though hope left me, faith entered)
Kumbe ulikuwa unanisikia ah (Lo, You were listening to me)
Na likapotea tumaini langu ila imani ikaingia (Though hope left me, faith entered)

Refrain:
Waambie, uliniona nilipokuomba (Tell them, You watched when I prayed)
Ulisikia na ukaitika (You heard and answered)
Mungu waambie, uliposema uwaja (Lord tell them, when You said You would come)
Wala hukukosea njia na ulifika (You did and did not miss the way)
Mungu waambie, ni wewe tu ni wewe tu (God tell, it is only You, only You)
Mungu waambie, ni wewe tuu (God tell them, it is only You)
Uliesababisha leo imefika (You that made tomorrow come to be)

Waambie kila siku ni zawadi (Tell them that everyday is a gift)
Hakuna heshima inayozidi uhai (There is no honor greater than life)
Ni neema na rehema (It is Grace and Mercies)
Wawe na hekima unazitimiza ahadi (To have the wisdom to know You fulfill Your Promises)
Waambie, hawapaswi kukata tamaa (Tell them, they should not give up)
Sababu daima haupo mbali (Because forever You are near)
Ukipotea mwanga (When the light disappears)
Gizani nd’o nyota hung’aa mwanga mkali (It’s in the darkness that stars shine the brightest)
Waambie wasiache tumaini nd’o imani (Tell them not to abandon hope, hope is faith)
Wasiache kukuamini nd’o amani  (Not to stop believing, this is peace)

(Refrain)

Mama usilie (Mother, do not cry)
Ndungu jipe moyo (Brother, be encouraged)
Yote, Yote (All of it, all of it)
