Ke pheela, ke mathela, bosaoana feela. But I found his Grace, and I am amazed

Chorus:
Penya moyo wangu, nikujue zaidi (Pierce my heart, so I would know you more)
Ili moyoni mwangu kutiririke nyimbo za sifa (So that songs of praise will flow from my heart) (Repeat)
Yale niliyopitia, yale ninayopitia, (What I have been through, what I’m going through)
yale nitayopitia, Yalenekeza kukupa sifa (What I will go through, leads me to give you praise)
Penya moyo wangu, nielimishe neno (Pierce my heart, teach me your words)
Ili ndani yangu kutokee ibaada ya sifa (So that session of praise will come from my heart)
(Chorus)
Katika hali zote, unikumbushe baba (In all circumstances, remind me Father)
Nisilalamike nikupe sifa na utukufu (Not to complain but to give you praise and worship)
Katika hali zote, nisaidie Baba (In all circumstances, help me father)
nikusujudu wewe, nikupe sifa na utukufu (To worship you and give you praise and glory)
penya moyo wangu, ewe mfinyanzi wangu (Pierce my heart, oh you my potter)
Ili ndani yangu nikuabudu, nikupe sifa (So that I will worship and praise you in my heart)
(Chorus)
Niundie moyo safi, utokao sifa (Create in me a clean heart that gives praise)
Niinue jina lako, nyakati zote Baba yangu (So I can lift your name at all times my Father)
Natamani moyo safi, unaonyenyekea (I desire a clean heart, that humbles itself)
Mbele zako baba, moyo unaokuinua (Before you Father, a heart that lifts you)
Nikuabudu Baba, nikupe sifa Yesu (To praise you Father, to give you praise you Jesus)
Ninyenyekee kwako Muumba wangu, pokea sifa (So I can humble myself my creator, receive praise)

Ee Baba yangu naja mbele zako, naomba amani (Oh my Father I come before you, I’m praying for peace)
Maana nimeitafuta amani, lakini sipati (Because I have searched for it, But I can’t get it)
Nizungukapo na majaribu mbalimbali, ninakuamini (When I go through different temptations, I believe you)
Ya kwamba nikulilia wewe, tanipa amani (That if I cry unto you, you’ll grant me peace)
Mali na nyumba na magari makubwa, hayana amani (Wealth, houses and big cars, they don’t have peace)
Yananipa kusononeka kwa moyo, naomba amani (They give me worries, so I pray for peace)
Nanyenyekea mbele zako Mungu wangu, naomba amani (I humble myself before you my God, And pray for peace)
Na sina shaka wewe utanipa, nina shauku (I have no doubt that you will grant me, I have faith)
Chorus:
Baba utizame moyo wangu, nipe amani (Father search my heart, and grant me peace) x4
Wakati mume amekuwa kigeugegu, mama usilie (When your husband has turned on you, Mother don’t cry)
Maana Yesu hatakugeuka, yeye akupenda (Because Jesus will never turn on you, he loves you)
Licha na uchungu uliyo nayo moyoni, mtizame Baba (Despite the pain you have in your heart, look unto God)
Mwambie yote utakayo atimize, yeye akujali (Tell him everything you need, He cares for you)
Ulezi wa wana hata elimu, yeye atakupa (Care of children even education, He’ll grant you)
Omba nguvu upige magoti baba, mwambie akupe amani (Get on your knees and pray for strength, tell God to grant you peace)
(Chorus)
Ee mama mjane naelewa unavyo hisi, moyo unauma (To you widow I understand how you feel, you’re heart broken)
Baada ya mumeo kufa mama, huna pa kwenda (After your husband died, you have nowhere to go)
Wakweza wamekufukuza mbali, wewe huna nyumba (Your in-laws have chased you away, you have no home)
Marupurupu ya mumeo kazini, wataka nyakua (Your husbands work benefits, they want to steal from you)
Usilie mama Mungu anaona, naye akujali (Don’t cry mother – God sees, and he cares for you)
We piga magoti inua mikono, Omba Baba amani (Get on your knees, lift your hands, and pray to God for peace)
