(Sung in Swahili)

(Languages: English, Swahili)

Ninapo lala na amka (When I sleep and when I rise)
I’m not weary
Only you my God, You sustain me
Mbele zako n’ko sawa (Before You I am safe)
You make me stronger
Wanifaa, wanitosha nakuenzi (You fit me, and satisfy me, I adore)

Out of miry clay Lord You picked me
Ukanifinyanga, ukanijenga (You molded me and built me)
Only you can fill my void
Only you can satisfy
Only you I wanna praise
Only you make me stronger
Kwa kinywa changu wacha nikuimbie (From my mouth let me sing for You)

Refrain:
Umenitosha umenitosha, umenitosha Baba (You’ve satisfied me x2, You’ve satisfied me Father)
Umenitosha umenitosha, umeutosha moyo wangu (You’ve satisfied me, You’ve satisfied my heart)

(Sung in Swahili)

Usinione nimechakaa unitilie dharau (Don’t look at my tatters and despise me)
Mimi binadamu, umesahau? (I am also human, have you forgotten?)

Unaishi kwa dhamani, (You live in riches)
Mimi naishi kwa imani (I live on faith)
Mbele zako mimi sina haki, (Before you I have no rights)
Mbele zake mimi mwenye hadhi (But before Him, I am valuable)
Fahamu kuwa Mola ndiye aliniumba mimi na wewe (Remember God is the creator of all)

Refrain:
Mimi mwanake, usiku nitalala (I am His son, I will sleep in peace)
Mbele zake maulana, sote tuko sawa (For before the Lord, we are all equal)

Ulinipuuza mie, eti sifai kuwa nawe (You wrote me off as useless)
Uliniona mie, eti hati ya kula nawe (I was not worthy to eat with you)
Sahani moja tupotiliwa chakula (From one plate when we were served)
Nyumba moja tulipofaa kuishi pamoja (In one house as we were meant)

(Refrain)

Wema wake taji la upendo juu yangu (His love and mercy are my crowns (?))
Ndani yake nilikuwa na uwoga wote uwe kimya (Before Him, all my fears are silent)

(Refrain)
