Sikutafuta, ni yeye alikuja kwangu (I did not seek Him, He came to me)
Ingawazaje dhambi, makosa yangu (Despite my sins and mistakes)
Yesu alinipenda wa kwanza (Jesus loved me faster)
Nikamwamini, yeye kanisamehe dhambi (I believed in Him, and He forgave my sins)
Upendo wake, Yesu yeye wanishangaza (His Love, Jesus amazes me)
