(Sung in Swahili)
Shida na raha binadamu sisi zote tunapitia (As humans we pass through joy and grief)
Ila shida ikizidi (Though when trouble overwhelms us)
Majaribu yanakuwa mengi (Temptations abound)
Wakati mwingine unaweza kufikiri (At times you may think)
Kwamba mungu hakuoni (That God does no see you)
Jinsi unavyopata taabu (How you are passing through misery)
Wakati mwingine unaweza kufikiri (Other times you may think)
Kwamba Mungu hakuoni (That God does not see you)
Ndoa yako inavyoingia doa (And how your marriage is in trouble)
Unaweza kwenda mbele zaidi (You can go far thinking)
Hivi kweli Mungu yupo (and doubting if truly God is there)
Mbona mimi hanisaidii? (Why does He not help me?)
Mara ukaacha na kusali (And you stopped praying)
Na ukahama makanisa (And you left church)
Kwa kuikosa imani (For lack of faith)
Mara ukaacha na kusali (You then stopped praying)
Na ukahama wachungaji (And left your pastors)
Kwa kuikosa imani (For lack of faith)
Mungu yupo, asikia maombi yako (But God is here, he listens to your prayers)
Endelea kumwomba yeye, utapata majibu yako (Continue to pray, You will receive your answers)
(Repeat)
Iko siku na saa iliyoandaliwa kwa ajili yako (There is a day prepared for you) x2
We Usife moyo, we usife moyo (Do not give up, do not lose heart)
Endelea kumwomba yeye, utapata majibu yako (Continue to pray to Him, you will receive your answers)
We Usife moyo, we usife moyo (Do not give up, do not lose hope)
Endelea kumwomba yeye, aijuaye kalenda (Continue to pray to Him who knows the time)
(We) Usife moyo, wakati wako bado (Do not lose heart, your time has not arrived)
Pale unapokataa tamaa (Where you lose hope)
Ndipo hapo Mungu yupo (That is where God is)
Mungu yupo, asikia maombi yako (God is there, He listens to Your prayers)
Endelea kumwomba yeye (Continue to pray to Him)
Utapata majibu yako (You will soon receive your answers) (Repeat)
Ameyatenga majiri, kwa sababu zake (He has set aside time for His cause)
Na kwa utukufu wake, Baba (And for His Glory, as the Father)
Majira ya kulia (Times of tears)
Na majira ya kucheka (And times of laughter)
Kwa makusudi yake (For His purposes)
Kwa nini ukate tamaa (Why should you give up)
Kwa sababu leo (Because today)
Unapitia wakati mgumu? (You are going through troubled times?)
Kwa nini urudi nyuma wewe (Why should you backslide)
Kwa sababu leo (Because today)
Mi majira yako ya kusubiri? (Is your time of wait?)
Kwayo majira ya kusubiri (In the time of waiting)
Mungu anataka kujitolea utukufu (God wants to glorify Himsekf)
Kwa wakati unaolia, (In the times of your tears)
Huo ni wakati wa Mungu (That is the time of God)
Wa kupata heshima yake (To receive His Honor)
Jua ni kwa muda tu unalia (Know that weeping is only for a while)
Jua ni kwa muda tu unasubiri (Know that waiting is just for a time)
Ooh atatenda (Oh, He will do it)
(Refrain)
