(Sung in Kiswahili)

Refrain:
Hebu nieleze, kwa sauti ya upole (Please explain me with a gentle voice)
Akili zangu zikuelewe (For my brain to understand)
Rudia, rudia, kama vile kwa mtoto (Repeat again, like you would to a child)
Nisisahau, neno lako (So that I may not forget Your Word) (Repeat)

Bwana nieleze, kile kilichokufanya (Lord explain to me the reason)
Ukaja hapa wakati ule (That brought You here long ago)
Yote ya mbinguni, hukuyaona kitu (The glories of heaven were nothing)
Ukaja ishi na viumbe vyako (You chose to come to live with Your creation)

(Refrain)

Walipokusulubisha, pale msalabani (When they crucified You on that cross)
Hakuna aliyekusaidia (No one helped You)
Ukafa kifo cha uchungu na aibu (You died in pain and shame)
Kwa dhambi iliokuwa yangu (For the sins that were mine)

(Refrain)

Zidi kunionesha ubaya wa dhambi (Continue to show me the futility of sin)
Najua ndio iliyokuuwa (I know that is what led You to the cross)
Na nigeukapo na kutenda dhambi (And when I turn to sin)
Hebu nirudi kwa fimbo yako (Let me be corrected by your rod)

(Refrain)
