Tangazo, tangazo kwa mapepo na wajumbe wako (Announcement to the devil and his messengers)
Mimi sirudi nyuma kamwe (I will never turn back)
Mmapetuli nao nawapa habari (I have an announcement to the detractors)
Walisema sitasonga, mi nasonga mbele (They said I will be stuck, but I’m pressing on)
Huyu Yesu, ni mwache niende kwa nani? (This Jesus, if I leave Him, where would I go?)

Hakuchukulia tena kwa hasira (He was not angered by me)
Yeye alinibariki bado (He still blessed me)
Hakuwasikiza wal’o leta mashitaka yangu kwake (And did not listen to my accusers)
Kama Ayubu, alitetea bado (Like Job, he defended me)
Yeye Hakimu wa kweli (For He is a just judge)
Hapewi rushwa anajua haki zangu (He cannot be bribed, he knows my rights)

Sifikirii kushindwa (I do not ponder my defeat)
Sina ndoto ya kuchoka (I do not dream of my exhaustion)
Ataniwezesha (For He will enable me)
Wapo wengi wenye chuki na kero (There are many with hatred and annoyance)
Waliponikera, yeye akapigana (When they troubled me, He fought for me)
Wapo wengi walinipa masaa (There are many that counted my days)
Kwenye wokovu leo wanashangaa (They are now surprised with my salvation)
Kweli kweli alisema, ataandaa meza yangu (Truly He said, He will prepare my table)
Mbele yao maadui, leo wanaboba (Before my enemies, now they are confused)
