(Sung in Swahili – A Hymn)

Kijito cha utakaso ni damu ya Yesu (The cleansing river is the Blood of Jesus)
Bwana anao uwezo kunipa wokovu (The Lord has the authority to grant me salvation)
Viumbe vipya naona, Damu ina nguvu (I see new beings, the Blood is powerful)
Imeharibu uovu, uliyo dhulumu (It has destroyed the evil that harm)

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)

Naondoka kutembea, nuruni mwa mbingu (I have left to walk, under the heavenly lights)
Na moyo safi kabisa kumpendeza Mungu (With a clean heart that pleases God)
Ni neema ya ajabu kupakwa na damu (What a great Grace to be anointed by the blood)
Na Bwana Yesu kujua Yesu wa msalaba (Of The Lord, and to know Jesus of the Cross!)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Yoruba, Pidgin English)

Iyawo no get womb o (You have been barren)
Nurse say e get belle (The nurse says you’re now pregnant)
You don dey sick for long (You have been sick for a long time)
Doctor say you done well (The doctor now says You are better)
Bo se nsun bo se nji (That you sleep and wake up)
Se lasan lo pe? (Do you think it is by chance?)
Ojo nro orun yo (That rain falls and the sun shines)
Se lasan lo pe? (You think its by chance?)
Why you no come believe (Why do you not believe)
Say God dey? (And confess that God exists?)

Refrain:
Alagidi o ni kos’Olorun (A stubborn man says there is no God)
Arindin o ni kos’Olorun (A foolish man says there is no God)
Alaimokan, e talk say (An ignorant man says)
E talk say, God no dey  (Keeps saying, that there is no God)
O ti gbagbe pe orun yo (He has forgotten that the sun shines)

I’m looking down at the world from 24,000 feet
And the beauty makes me wonder why anyone will ever doubt
That somebody made the world and everything beautiful
Omase eniyan ti gbagbe atisun (Pity that man has forgotten the purpose of life)
Kilode to’gbagbo p’Olorun mbe? (Why do you believe that there is no God?)

(Sung in Swahili)

Mema (Good) x4 (Repeat)

Ni rahisi kukusifu (It is easy to praise You)
Wakati wa mazuri (In good times)
Ni rahisi kukushukuru (It is easy to thank You)
Yanapotokea mema (When good happens)
Ila ni ngumu kuamini (But it is difficult to believe)
Kuwa hata na magumu (To be in tough times)
Nawe Mungu umeyaruhusu (God You have allowed them)
Kwa kuniwazia mema (For thinking well of me)

Refrain 1:
Umeruhusu mazuri (You have permitted good)
nifurahi tena nikushukuru (For me to rejoice and to be thankful)
Na mabaya ili niwe hodari (And bad times that I may be strong)
Na tena nikusifu (And to praise You as well)
Mbele umeniwekea fahari (You have saved my triumph for me)
Haya ni ya muda tu (This is only temporary)
Macho yangu yatazama mbali (My eyes see ahead)
Uliko utukufu (Where there is holiness)

Refrain 2:
Yote mema (It is all well) x2
Hata magumu yana sababu (Even my difficulty has a reason)
Yote mema (It is all well) x2
Sitala humu, sitakufuru (I shall not eat here, I shall not blaspheme)

Sasa nimejua kuwa (I have now understood)
Wewe uliyenipa samaki (That the one who provides fish for me)
Ndiwe pia umetaka wakati mwingine (You also want other times )
Nipate nyoka (To receive a snake)
Tena nimejua kuwa wewe (I have also understood that You)
Uliyenipa mkate (Who provided bread for me)
Ndiwe pia umetaka (You are the same who wants)
Wakati mwingine nipate jiwe (For me to receive stones some times)

(Refrain 1 + 2)

Nimejifunza kuwa na shibe tena (I have taught myself to be satisfied again)
Nimeju kuwa na njaa tena (I have taught myself to be hungry again)
Kuwa nacho hata kutokuwa nacho (To have and not to have)
Najua yote yanafanya kazi (I know that all have a purpose)
Ili kunipatia mema (For good for me)
Yamefanyika kama ngazi iiamini kupanda (They have been fashioned like a ladder to be climbed by faith)

(Refrain 2)

Mema (It is well) x4 (Repeat)

(Sung in Swahili)

Mimi nasonga tu mbele (I am moving onwards)
Mashida sijali na wewe (I do not worry about difficulties)
Kama ndege iko tu sawa (As the bird of air is taken care of)
Basi pia Mungu ako na wewe (The Lord is also with You)
Mungu amekusikia (God has heard You)
Imani zidi kushikilia (So Keep the faith)
And when (?) you believing Him fear
Mulungu yuko na yuko hiyo (God is there and so)

Refrain:
Mulungu (Ha! ah! ha!) (the Name of God) x?

Mi nataka kukufanana (I want to be like You)
Kwako kila kitu salama (For in You all is well)
Kwako kila kitu (In You all things) x2
Iko maana mi ni na kazi na (Is there so I have work and)
Bado mi nitakusifu (I will keep praising You)
Juu we pekee ni mwaminifu (For You alone are faithful)
Juu we pekee ulinisafisha dhambi zote (For You alone cleansed me of my sin)
Mimi nitakusifu (So I will praise You)

(Refrain)

Mungu ni faya, Mungu ni moto! (God is fire/hot)
Mi sina haya, kusifu hata kaa mi ni msoto (I am not afraid to praise even when broke)
Mungu upendo, na habadiliki (God is Love, and He does not change)
Kwa kila mienendo anajali naye anabariki (He cares for every situation and He blesses it)
(Repeat)

(Refrain)
