Ngerageza gukora ibyiza (I always intend to do good)
Ibibi bikantanga imbere (But bad emerges)
Ngirir’ imbabazi (Grant me Your Mercy)
Ngirir’ imbabazi (Grant me Your Mercy)
Iyo uza kunsaba igitambo (If You were to ask me for a sacrifice)
Ntakiguzi narikubona (I could not find a price for it)
Igitambo wishimira (The sacrifice that would please You)
N’umutima umenetse (Is my broken heart)
Refrain:
Ndema mumutim’ utunganye (Create in me a clean heart)
Unyigishe guca bugufi (Teach me to be humble)
Buri munsi , buri munsi! (Every day, Every day!)
Ntaho nagera njye ngusize (I cannot take a step without You)
Ndagusab’ uhor’ unyobora (I ask You to lead me)
Buri munsi , buri munsi! (Every day, Every day!)
Wandike amategeko yawe (Write Your commandments)
Ku ndiba y’umutima wanjye (Inside by heart)
Buri munsi , buri munsi! (Every day, Every day!)
Mpisemo guhora nkizwa (I have chosen to be holy)
mpisemo inzira yagakiza (I have chosen the Spiritual Way)
Buri munsi , buri munsi! (Every day, Every day!)
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)
Nina imani, wewe unami (I have faith, that You are with me)
Sauti yako naisikia (I hear Your voice)
Waniimbia wimbo mpya (You sing a new song to me) (Repeat)
Wasema kuwa we ndiwe shujaa (You say that You are a hero)
Ambaye hajawahi kushindwa (That has never been defeated) (Repeat)
Refrain:
Sitaogopa gizani (I shall not fear the darkness)
Neno lanimulikia njia (Your Word lights my path) (Repeat)
Yek’umusa yek’uthando (Oh what Grace, Oh what Love)
Asinike lon’uYise (The Father has given unto us)
Besithi we singabantwana wakhe (All of us who are called His children) (Repeat)
Besithi we, Besithi we, Besithi we (Oh He said, He said, He Said)
Besithi we singabantwana bakhe (He said we are His Children) (Repeat)
Refrain:
Inuka, jitie nguvu (Arise and strengthen yourself)
Simama, umshindi (Stand firm, You are winner)
Tawala, una kibali (Reign, You have the authority)
Msaidizi wako, yu ndani yako (Your Helper is in You) x2 (Repeat)
Nieleze je mteule ulivyo na nguvu (How can I tell how strong you are, chosen one?)
Umepewa uwezo, kwa Roho wa Mungu (You have been given the ability by the Spirit of God)
Usife moyo mteule, ufalme ni wako (Do not lose hear chosen one, the Kingdom is yours)
Umrithi pamoja na Yesu (You are heirs together with Jesus) (Repeat)
(Refrain)
Nikueleze je, hakuwachi Bwana (How do I tell you, the Lord will not abandon You)
Hadi mwisho wa dahari (Until the end of time)
Fungua macho, mteule uone mbali (Open your eyes chosen one, and see the future)
Giza latoweka, kwapampazuka (Darkness disappears, there is a new dawn) (Repeat)
