(Sung in Kiswahili and some Lingala)

Repeat: Ana mipango mema, anakupenda (He has good plans, He loves You)
Mteule, nina ujumbe kutoka kwa Mwenyezi Mungu (Chosen one, I have a message from Almighty God)
Mipango ya fanaka, ya kukupa tumaini, eh (Plans for your success, to give you hope)
Kaba haujazaliwa, alikujua (Before you were born, He knew you)
Usifadhaike, wewe, ni mboni la jicho lake (Do not despair, you are )
Ye si binadamu, adanganye (He is not man that He should lie)
Aliyeanza kazi nzuri, atamaliza (The one who began good work, will complete it)

Call-and-Response: Atakuinua kwa mkono wake wa ushindi, eh (He will lift You up with His victorious hand)

Refrain:
Amini, Amini! (Believe, Believe!)
Amini, Amini!! (Believe, Believe!)
Uaminifu wake, wadumu milele (His faithfulness, endures forever)
Amini (Believe!) (Repeat)

Neno la Bwana ni kweli, na linasema hivi (The word of the Lord is true, and declares this)
Hata mashaka yawe pande zote, hukatii tamaa (Even if troubles are all on all sides, you don’t give up)
Neno la Bwana ni kweli na linasema hivi  (The word of the Lord is true, and declares this)
Hata utupwe chini, huangamizwi (Even if you are struk down, you will not be decimated)

Wanaomtegemea Mungu, ni kama mlima Sayuni (Those who depend upon the Lord are like Mt. Zion)
Hawatikisiki (They will not be shaken)
Waomsubiri Bwana, ni kama mlima Sayuni (Those who wait upon the Lord are like Mt. Zion)
Hawatikisiki (They cannot be shaken)

(Refrain)

Wanaomtegemea Bwana, ni kama mlima Sayuni (Those who depend on the Lord are like Mount Zion)
Hawatikisika kamwe, milele na milele (They will never me shaken)
Milele, na milele iye (Forever and ever)
Hawatikisika kamwe (They will never be shaken)

Wamtumainio Bwana, ni kama mlima Sayuni (Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion)
Hawatikisika kamwe, milele na milele (They will never me shaken)
Milele, na milele iye (Forever and ever)
Hawatikisika kamwe (They will never be shaken)

Esengo to esengo te, Esongo! (Are we rejoicing or not, We rejoice!)  (Repeat)
Toko bine laye nanko, Nanko! (We must dance before God, we must!) (Repeat)

Repeat: Amini, utaona mkono ya Bwana (Believe, You will see the hand of God)
Ndugu usilie, panguza machozi, Yesu anajua kilio chako (Brother do not weep, Jesus knows your cries)
Yesu/Bwana anajua kulia kwako, futa machozi, we mwamini we (Jesus/Lord knows your cries, wipe your tears and belive Him)
Baba Yangu/Mama Yangu futa machozi, (My father/mother wipe your tears)
Ndugu yangu simama, Bwana anakuwazia mema (My brother stand, The Lord plans good things for You)
Inuka eh uangaze, mwamini Bwana anona machozi yako (Arise and shine, Believe The Lord sees your tears)
Amini! (Believe!)
Anakuwazia mema, Yesu x? (He things good)
Usikate tamaa, we amini (Do not give up, believe)
Mwamini Yesu (Believe Jesus) x?

Esengo to esengo te? Esengo! (Are we rejoicing or not? We rejoice!)  (Repeat)
Toko bine laye nanko, Nanko! (We must dance before God, we must!) (Repeat)

Yeye, Yesu ni Bendera (ya ushindi)  (He is the flag (of victory)) x?

Esengo to esengo te? Esengo! (Are we rejoicing or not? We rejoice!)  (Repeat)

Amini (Believe) Lyrics by Gloria Muliro

(Sung in Swahili)

Tangu niwe mdogo, ni mengi nimepita (I’ve experienced many things from infancy)
Mengine mazuri, mengine machungu (Some good, some painful)
Lakini jambo moja ninalijuwa (But I know one thing)
Heri mwisho wa jambo, kuliko mwanzo wake (Better the end result, than it’s beginning)

Chorus:
Amini mwenzangu (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Believe my friend (God will lift you up)]
Amini moyoni (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Believe in your heart ]
Usiwe na shaka (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Do not worry ]
Usiwe na hofu (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Do not fear ]
Hata kama uko chini (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Even if you are the last ]
Hata kama umeshindwa (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Even if you are weary]
Usiwe na shaka (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Do not worry]
Usiwe haraka (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Do not hurry ]

Mwanzo nilivyokuwa, mimi sikuchagua (I did’nt choose my beginnings)
Yote niliyopitia, mimi sikuchagua (I did’nt choose all I experienced)
Kukosa chakula, mavazi, amani sikuchagua (to Lack food, clothes, peace)
Kudharauliwa, kuteseka, kupotea njia sikuchagua (to be despised, to suffer, to be lost)
Ila Nashukuru Mungu alitumia yote kunitengeneza (Only I thank God for He used this to mold me)

(Chorus)

Mwanzo wako najua haukuchagua (You did not choose your beginnings)
Japo mambo uliyopita wewe hukuchagua (You didn’t choose all you passed through)
Lakini amini hayo Mungu anakwambia (But believe what God is telling you)
Macho hayajaona masikio hayajasikia (No eye has seen, no ear has heard)
Mambo makubwa amekupangia (All that God has prepared for you)

(Chorus)
