(Sung in Swahili)

Roho wako mwenyezi (Your Spirit, Almighty)
Amenifanya jinsi nilivyo (Has made me the way I am)
Pumzi yako, uhai wangu (Your breath, my life)
Umefufua mifupa mikavu (You have resurrected the dry bones)
Uhai umenipa Baba yangu (You have given me life, My Father)
Umetuliza dhoruba (You have calmed the winds)
Wakati wa mawimbi (In the times of storms)

Refrain:
Moyo wangu na ukuiniue wakati (May my heart lift you every time)
Nafsi yangu ikuhimidi kila saa (My soul to praise You every hour)
(Repeat)

Egemeo Baba yangu umbali huu (My Refuge, this far You’ve brought me)
Ninashukuru, Mwamba (I am thankful, the Rock)
Dunia, mbingu ni mwashahidi (Heaven and earth are witnesses)
Umbali huu ni wewe Bwana wa mabwana (This far You have brought me Lord of Lords)
Kwa makubwa, madogo, umbali huu (In great and little things, thus far)
Ni wewe Bwana wa mabwana (It is because of You Lord of Lords)
Na mengi, machache, umbali huu (In many and in the few, thus far)
Ni wewe Bwana wa mabwana (It is because of You Lord of lords)

(Refrain)

Bridge:
Ninakuinua, inua aa (I lift You up, Lift up)
Umetenda mema, mema Bwana (You have done Good, Good Father)

Ni wewe (wewe) Shamma (You are always there)
Wewe ni Jehovah Shamma (You are the Lord who is there)
Ni wewe (wewe) Jireh (You are the Provider)
Wewe ni Jehovah Jireh (You are the Lord our Provider)
Ni wewe (wewe) Shamma (You are always there)
Wewe ni Jehovah Shamma (You are the Lord who is there)
Na bado wazidi kuwa Mungu umekuwa (And You still remain the Same God) x2

(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)

Ajabu imo ndani yako (Wonderful things are to be found in You)
