Hlengiwe – o, yek intokozo (Redeemed, so happy [in Jesus])
Ulimi lungephimisele (No language can explain it)
Lokh’ engikuzway’ enhliz’weni (He continues to dwell in my heart)
Kumnandi, kumnandi, ingcwele (I know the light of His presence)
Refrain:
Hlengiwe, hlengiwe (Redeemed, Redeemed)
Hlengiwe ngegazi leMvana (Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb)
Hlengiwe, hlengiwe (Redeemed, Redeemed)
Sengenziwe ngaba-ngumntwana (His child and forever I am)(Repeat)
Hlengiwe – o, yek intokozo (Redeemed, so happy [in Jesus])
Ulimi lungephimisele (No language can explain it)
Lokh’ engikuzway’ enhliz’weni (He continues to dwell in my heart)
Kumnandi, kumnandi, ingcwele (I know the light of His presence)
Kijito cha utakaso (The Cleansing River)
Ni damu ya Yesu (Is the Blood of Jesus)
Bwana anao uwezo (The Lord has the might)
Kunipa wokovu (To give me salvation)(Repeat)
Refrain:
Kijito cha utakaso (The cleansing river)
Nizame kuoshwa humo (That I may be immersed and cleansed there)
Namsifu Bwana kwa hiyo (I praise the Lord because)
Nimepata utakaso (I have received the cleansing)(Repeat)
Viumbe vipya naona (I see new creatures)
Damu ina nguvu (For the Blood is powerful)
Imeharibu uovu (It has destroyed the evil)
Ulionidhulumu (That tormented me)
(Refrain)
Ni neema ya ajabu (It is His Great Mighty)
Kupakwa na damu (To be covered by the Blood)
Na Bwana Yesu kumjua (And to know the Lord Jesus)
Yesu wa msalaba (The Jesus of the Cross)
Uzuri ni kwamba, Mungu hapokei rushwa x2 (The good news is that God cannot be bribed)
Angepewa mabilioni, tungetupwa mbali sana x2 (If that was so and he was given billions, we would have been abandoned) (Repeat)
Na wengine tuna damu mbaya, mabifu kama yote (Others have bad blood, looking for quarrels)
Mtu hujamkosea, anatamani ufe (You have not wronged them, but they wish death on you)
Wengine bwana we, tulipewaga sura (And others, were given looks)
Mtu akikukuona, akalinganisha hufanani (Someone looks at you, and they compare you with others)
Wewe unadhani angepewa oxygene (What do you think – if they were given oxygen)
Yangu angeminya, angeminya — nifie mbali (My oxygen – they would have squeezed it, that I died)
Wewe unadhani angepewa kesho yako wee (What do you think, if they were given your tomorrow)
Kwanza angefinya, angefinya — ufie mbali (They would have squeezed it so that you died)
Pre-Refrain:
Ila mungu wee, hajui kukosea (But God does not wrong us)
Ametupa thamani, tulioitwa vikaragosi (He has given us worth, us who are called cartoons)
Ila mungu wee, mwingi wa huruma (For God is full of mercy)
Ametupa vicheko, vicheko bila manoti (He has given us joy, joy without payment)
(Refrain)
Mfano jitu lipate lama za Laiza: lingetuchakaza vibaya (For example, if someone gets Laiza’s fortune: they would have hurt us)
Au lipate kama za Dangote, Lipewe kuamua Kesho yako eeh (Or they would be fortunate as Dangote, to judge your tomorrow)
Wengine, Baba zetu walala hoi (For some of us, our Fathers are needy)
Wengine, mama zetu hohehahe (For some of us, our mothers are poor)
Wengine, familia zetu choka mbaya (For some of us, our families are destitute)
Wengine, ndio kabisa mayatima (For some of us, we are complete orphans)
Hakuna anayetujua wala hatuna connection (There would be no one to give us connections)
Kusema sababu ni elimu mbona wasomi kibao ni jobless? (Saying that it is because of lack of education, why are degree holders jobless?)
Tumewekwa Mahali kwa neema ya Mungu (We have been placed in the place of God’s Grace)
Tunavuka Mapito kwa neema ya Mungu (We have crossed through troubles through God’s Grace)
Moya wami, Moya Wami, Moya Wami x2 (My soul, my soul, my soul)
Sungxama, ng’yazi konakele (Hurry, I know things are a mess)
Ntukuthelo yakh’ ingaphezulu (Your anger is high)
Konakele: okomhlaba kundehlule (It is a mess: the world has gotten the better of me)
‘Mpilo le ayikho lula (This life is not easy) (Repeat)
Xol’umoya wam uyafis’ukwenza kahle (Make peace, my soul yearns to do right)
Okomhlaba kundehlule (Earthly things have defeated me)
Xol’umoya wam uyafisa ukwenza kahle (Make peace, my soul yearns to do right)
Mpilo le ayikho lula (This life is not easy)
Xola moya wami (Make peace, my soul)
Xola moya wami (Make peace, my soul)
Xola moya wami (Make peace, my soul)
Moya Wami, eh Moya wami (Oh my soul, my soul)(Repeat)
