Angisoze ngakhathazeka (I will never be weary)
(Mina) Ngoziphilela ngomthandazo (I live my life through prayer)
Yonk’ imihla emhlabeni (Through all my days on earth)
Ngoziphilela ngomthandazo (I will live through prayer)(Repeat)
Yonk’ imihla emhlabeni (All my days on earth)
Ngoziphilela ngomthandazo (I will live through prayer)(Repeat)
Ngoziphilela ngomthandazo (I will live through prayer)
Ngoziphilela ngomthandazo (I will live through prayer)
Yonk’ imihla emhlabeni (All my days on earth)
Ngoziphilela ngomthandazo (I will live through prayer)
Mama, papa (Mother, father)
Naomba baraka kwenyu niondoke mimi (I ask for your blessings for me to leave)
Dada, brotherman (My sister, my brother)
Hebu someni kwa bidii, ndio mje mjini (Study hard, so that you can come to the city)
Hapa, hapa nyumbani (Because here, here at home)
Sisi sio matajiri, ila tunayo akili (While we are not rich, we are intelligent)
Chochote unachohitaji, ukikifanyia kazi (Anything that you need, if you work hard on it)
Yeye atakibariki (He will bless you)
Refrain:
Ila wewe, usisahau kuomba (But for you, do not forget to pray)
Na kila unapo omba (And everytime you pray)
Niombee, nikuombee (Pray for me, pray for me as well)
Kwani maombi yangu pekee, hayawezi (For only my prayers alone, is not sufficient)
Niombee, nikuombee (Pray for me, as I pray for you)
Kwani maombi yangu pekee, hayawezi (For my prayers alone are not sufficient)
My now, my future
Yeye ndiye ajuaye (He is the one who knows it)
Yeye ndiye apangaye (For He is the one that planned it)
Jana, leo, kesho (Yesterday, today, and tomorrow)
Yeye ndiye ajuaye (It is Him that knows it)
Yeye ndiye apangaye (It is He that plans it)
Popote , unapohitaji kuenda, yeye atakufikisha (He will deliver you where you want to go)
Weka imani kwake, shida zako zote (Put your faith in Him, all your troubles)
Hakuna linalomshinda (There is nothing impossible to Him)
Mkono wako, umenishika (You hands are holding me)
Fimbo yako, yaniongoza (Your Staff leads me)
Gongo lako, lanifariji (Your Rod comforts me)
Umenisitiri, umenifanya hodari (You have hidden me, and made me brave)
Pre-Chorus:
Uliliona chozi langu la ndani (You saw my innermost tears)
Ukalifuta na kunipa amani (You wiped them and granted me peace)
Unyonge wangu haukukuweka mbali (My feebleness did not repel You)
Ukaniinua na kunipa thamani (But You lifted me and gave me value/worth)
Refrain:
Ee Bwana, wanitazama (Oh Lord, You see me)
Baba, Mungu usiyelala (Father, God who never sleeps)
Wanitazama! (You see me!)
Baba, Mungu usiyechoka (Father, God who never tires)
Chorus: Repeat: Yesu we! (Oh Jesus!)
Mini ni mboni yako, Baba (Father I am the pupil)
Jicho lako, Ee Baba (Of Your Eye, Oh Father)(Repeat)
Akili zangu zilifika mwisho (My thoughts reached its end)
Na kuona Mungu hunitazami taabuni (And thought that God You do not see me in my troubles)
Na wanadamu wakapata cha kusema (People got things to say)
Kuwa Mungu wangu hayupo, tena nami (That my God is no longer with me)
Nilipoona ni Mwisho, wewe ukatangaza mwanzo (When I thought it was the end, You announced the beginning)
Nilipodhani ni pigo, kumbe li lako kusudi (When I thought it was a punishment, Lo! It was Your will)
Kilipozidi kilio, wewe ukaleta kicheko (When my cries grew louder, You brought in laughter)
Ukadhihirisha kwa macho, wewe ni langu kimbilio (You manifested to my eyes,that You are my refuge)
Mina nginoJesu, wami Ongiholayo (I have Jesus who leads me)
Ongiholayo, Ongiholayo (Who leads me)
(Mina nginoJesu) wami Ongiholayo (I have Jesus who leads me)
Ongiholayo, Ongiholayo (He leads me)
(Refrain)
Uyangihola, emadlelwen’ aluhlaza (He leads me in paths of righteousness)
Ongiholayo (He leads me)
Uyangihola, emadlelwen’ aluhlaza (He leads me in paths of righteousness)
Ongiholayo (He leads me)
(Refrain)
— In Sotho
Lenna le banna baYeso (We are the Children of God)
Rena rebosoa keMoya (We are led by the Spirit)(Repeat)
— In Sotho
KeMoya, keMoya (The Spirit, Holy Spirit)
Rena rebosoa kemoya (We are led by the Spirit) (Repeat)
If it hadn’t been for the Lord
Who was always on my side
The enemy would have swallowed us
Would have drowned in their waters
But our souls have found an escape
A hiding place in You
The Fowler’s snare is broken
Our help, is in the Name of the Lord
Refrain:
We are (I am) nothing without You
Without You
You the air that we/I breathe
Can’t live without You, Without You!
In You I live, and move, and have my being
Refrain 2:
Hosanna! To Jehovah!
You are the air that I breathe
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
In You I live, and move, and have my being
