You gave to me great victories
Anointed me with unfailing Love
Your help oh God, has made me great
You’re the One who saved me from my foes
Set a table before them
You gave me strength, to win the race
Refrain:
For this I praise Your Name
For all that You have done
For this I praise Your Name
With all my heart (Repeat)
(From the top)
Bridge 1:
You are my rock
Your are my strength
You are my Rock
I praise You again, and again (Repeat)
Bridge 2:
My Rock, may strength, my Rock
I praise You again, and again (Repeat)
Na wala sio sababu ya jina langu (It is not because of my name)
Wala sio sababu ninavaa (Neither is it because of how I dress)
Najua sio sababu ya sadaka zangu (I know it is not because of my offerings)
Oh, maana ndio ninashangaa (Oh, that is why I am amazed)
Nilijua kwamba nimeshapoteza nafasi (I knew I had lost my space)
Mimi ni nani kwani? Nakosa neno kusema (For who am I? I am lost for words)
Unisamehe, sikujua unanipenda hivi (Forgive me, I did not know you loved me thus)
Umefanya bure, sawa upendavyo (You have made it free, according to your will)
Umeruhusu niwe, vile upendavyo (You have permitted me to be, the way you will it)
Refrain:
Nitakushukuru tu, kwa neema (I will thank You, for the Grace)
Asante tu, kwa wema (Thank you, for the Goodness)(Repeat)
Maana kama si wewe (For if it was not for You)
Kama si wewe ningekuwa wapi? (If not for You, where would I be?) (Repeat)
Wacha machozi yanitirike tu (Let my tears fall)
Wacha kilio nikulilie Mungu (Let my cry be to You, Lord)
Natafuta cha kunitenga nawe, bado sijaona (I have yet to find what could separate us)
Nilishakatwakatwa moyo na kupondwa na wanadamu (I have been heart broken by people)
Wao wataniambia nini, nikiwa nawe? (But what can they tell me, if I am with You?)
Leo wataniambia nini, nikiwa nawe? (what can they tell me today, if I am with You?)
Pesa huitwa sabuni, ila maji ni wewe (Money is called the soap, but You are the water)
Unioshe Bwana, nitakase (Wash me Lord, cleanse me)
Bwana wangu naomba unisikie nijapo mbele yako nikiimba (My Lord I pray that you hear my song before You)
Naomba unisikie, naomba unisikie (I pray that you hear, I pray that you listen)
Wimbo wangu siku ya leo si mwingine (My song today is none other)
Bali ni wimbo wa shukrani (Than a song of thanksgiving)
Bwana asante, kwa yote umenitendea (Lord thank you, for all that you have done for me) (Repeat)
Refrain:
Leo naamua, kubadili mtazamo wangu, Baba (Father today I have resolved to change my perspective)
Unajua muda mwingi nijapo mbele zako (You know a lot of times when I am before You)
Huwa naja nikalalamika (I only come with complaints)
Lakini leo, naleta shukrani, shukrani! (But today, I bring Thanksgiving, thanks!)
Oh! wastahii shukrani Baba (Oh, Father You deserve the thanks)
Muda wowote nikipatwa na jambo baya (Any time when I encounter trouble)
Siwezi sahau kulalamika (I do not forget to complain)
Kawaida ya mwanadamu, mwepesi wa kulalamika (As is usual with humans, easy to complain)
Lakini kwa mazuri muda mwingi (But in good times a lot of times)
Huwa nachukulia kawaida tu (I take it as usual)
Leo nakuja kwa sauti ya shukrani (Today I come with a voice of thanks)
(Refrain)
Inapendeza kuja mbele zako (It is good to come before you)
Na sauti ya shukrani ewe Bwana wangu (With a voice of thanks, Oh my Lord)
Inatupasa wanadamu, kukushukuru daima (We have to as humans, to thank you forever)
Ni vema kuwa na shukrani nyingi kuliko malamiko oh (Ohm It is good to have more thanksgiving than complaints)
Leo twakuja kwa sauti ya shukrani (Today we come with a voice of thanks)
Refrain:
Baba yetu, yetu uliye mbinguni (Our Father, ours who art in Heaven)
Yetu, yetu, Amina (Our, Ours, Amen)
Baba yetu, yetu uliye m’ (Our Father, Our who art in He-)
Jina lako eh litukuzwe (Hallowed be Your Name)(Repeat)
Utupe leo chakula chetu (Give us this day our daily Bread)
Tunachohitaji, utusamehe makosa yetu eh! (That we require, And, oh! Forgive us our trespasses)
Kama nasi tunavyo wasamehe, wale waliotukosea (Just as we forgive those who tresspass against us)
Usitutie katika majaribu lakini (Do not lead us into temptation, but)
Utuopoe na yule muovu we, milele (Deliver us from the evil one, Forever)
