Refrain:
Mungu Baba yeye hafungi macho (God the father does not sleep)
Habadiliki jana leo na kesho (He does not change, yesterday, today and tomorrow)
Azijua raha na shida zako (He Knows your joy and your sorrows)
Macho yake makali yaona mambo yote (His sharp eyes sees everything)
Hata yale yamefichika anaona (Even the unseen he sees)
Hana jambo la siri asioliona (There is no secret he does not see)
Umekosa chakula mavazi hata pesa (You don’t have food clothing and even money)
Kodi ya nyumba karo ya shule hata mchumba (Your rent, school fees even a beau)
Unadhani sasa dunia imefika mwisho (You think the world is coming to an end)
(Refrain)
Jirani, wacha mirungirungi, rafiki wacha maneno mengi (Neighbor, abandon your worries, My friend, abandon your words)
Sijui kwa nini wanisema, Eti mimi, nimekuwa kafiri (I don’t understand why you gossip, that I am a hypocrite)
Eti mimi nimekuwa mrui, sijui, wala sisemi kitu (That I am a backslider, I don’t know, but I am silent)
(Refrain)
Akisema yuakuona jamani usitie shaka (If he says he sees you, please do not worry)
Ye halali na hachoki na wala ye habadiliki (he does not sleep he does not tire nor does he change)
Azijua raha zako, azijua na shida zako (He knows your joy, he knows your sorrows)
Tuimbeni halleluya Hossanah ye amefufuka (Let us sing Haleluyah, Hossana he is risen)
Haleluyah, ye halali na hachoki na wala ye habadiliki (Haleluya, he does not sleep, he does not tire nor does he change)
Haleluyah, tuimbeni haleluya Hossana ye amefufuka (Haleluya, let us sing haleluya hosanna he is risen)
Refrain:
Sasa nimetambua ya kwamba kwa yesu kuna raha, (Now, I have known that there is joy in Jesus)

Na mademu nilipanga, panga sana, Lakini sikutosheka (I had a lot of women, But I was not satisfied)
Nayo boza nilichoma, choma sana, Lakini sikutosheka (I smoked a lot of weed, But I was not satisfied)
Nakutindi nilitindi, tindi sana, Lakini sikutosheka (I drank until I was drunk, But I was not satisfied)

Na masomo nilisoma, mpaka ng’ambo, Lakini sikutosheka (I studied a lot, I even went overseas, But I was not satisfied)
Nazo ndege nilipanda, panda sana, Lakini sikutosheka (I traveled by air a lot, But I was not satisfied)
Nayo raha niliponda, ponda sana, Lakini sikutosheka (I immersed myself with wordly pleasures, But I was not satisfied)
NIshampata kweli mimi nishampata (I have found him, Its true I have found him)
Kama ni pesa, mali nishaona (I have seen money and riches)
Ee za dunia mi sitaki, nalilia wana wote wenye haki (Of the world I don’t want, I cry to all the righteous)
Oo Sasa mi nimetambua, za dunia zanyauka ka maua (I have realized that everything of the world fades like a flower)
Oo yote sasa zinapita, zinapita zinakwisha zakatika
(Everything shall pass away, it will pass, it will end, it will stop)
(Refrain)
Ulimwengu ni hasara, bali kwa Yesu ni faida (The world is a loss, but in Jesus there is gain)
Tumeona watu waliotishwa na mapesa, elimu na mashamba (We have seen people consumed with money, education and land)
Lakini mwishowe pamoja na maskini wakaaga (But in the end, they died with the poor)

Ninaponena, juu ya maisha yangu (When I speak of my life)
Ninene ya baraka, si kulaani (Let me speak for blessings not curses)
Nimebarikiwa, imeinuliwa (I have been blessed, I have been lifted up)
Maana kunayo nguvu, katika maneno (Because there is power in words)
Ingawaje, hali nilioko (Even though my current situation)
Ni ya kuhuzunisha, na kuhangaisha (Is pitiful and desperate)
Nitabiri mema, tena mazuri (Let me prophesy good things)
Maana kunayo nguvu, katika maneno (Because there is power in words)

Sio kwa nguvu zangu, sio kwa uwezo wangu (Its not by my strength, not by my might)
Wala sio kwa majeshi,Ni kwa Roho wako (Its not for the armies, but your spirit) (Repeat)
