(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Uwe nguzo ya moto mbele yangu (Be a pillar of fire before me)
Adui wakija, wasiniweze (When the enemy come they would not defeat me)
Uwe nguzo moto maishani mwangu Mungu (God, Be a pillar of fireĀ  in my life)
Adui wakija, wasiniweze (That when the enemy comes, they will not defeat me)

Wamefungua vinywa, lengo wanimeze (They have opened their mouths to swallow me)
Naomba Mungu, nisaidie (God I pray that You help me)
Wamefungua makucha, ili wanirarue (They have sharpened their claws to tear me apart)
Naomba Mungu, nipiganie (God I pray that You fight on my behalf)

(Refrain)

Mungu ukiwa upande wangu (God, if You are by my side)
Hivi ni nani atapigana mbele yangu? (Who can dare fight before me?)
Yesu ukiwa upande wangu (Jesus if You are by my side)
Hivi ni nani atapambana mbele tangu? (Who can dare fight before me?)
Mimi nategemea kwako Mungu (I depend on You God)
Mimi naegemea kwako Mungu (I lean on You God)
Mimi natumaini kwako Mungu (I trust in You, God)
Nikingie kifua, uwe nguzo mbele (Shelter my chest, be a pillar before me)
Nisaidie Bwana, kupigana nao (Help me to fight them)
Nikingie kifua, uwe nguzo mbele (Shelter my chest, be a pillar before me)
Nisaidie Bwana, kupambana nao (Help me to fight them)

(Refrain)

Wewe Mungu unaweza, Yesu unaweza, Mungu unaweza (God/Jesus You are able)
Wewe Baba Unaweza, Mungu unaweza, Yesu unaweza (God/Jesus/God You are able)
Kupasawazisha mahali ilipo paruza (To straighten crooked paths)
Yesu unaweza, Mungu unaweza (Jesus/God You are able)
Kuyavunjavunja mipingu ya adui zangu (To break my enemies’ chains)
Mungu unaweza, Yesu unaweza (God/Jesus You are able)
Imani yangu, Mungu ni kwako (My faith is in You God)
Msaada wangu, Mungu ni kwako (I find my help in You God)
Sina mahali pengine pa kukimbilia (I have nowhere else to run to)
Ila ni kwako Mungu x2 (But to You God)
Sina mahali pengine pa kutegemea (I have no where else to rely upon)
Ila ni kwako Mungu x2 (But upon You God)
Uwe nguzo ya moto kwangu (Be a pillar of fire to me)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)

Ni kama niko polepole, ila niko speedy (It looks like I’m slow, but I’m fast)
Aliye ndani yangu yuko speedy (The One who lives in me is fast)
Ni kama nimenyamaza, ila naongea (Though it looks like I’m quiet, I speak)
Yesu yu ndani yangu, yeye anaongea (Jesus is within me, He speaks on my behalf)
Ni kama niko polepole, ila niko speedy (Though appear slow, I am fast)
Aliye ndani yangu yuko speedy (The one within me is fast)
Kwa nje naonekana dhaifu, ndani nina nguvu (I look weak on the outside, but I’m strong)
Yesu yuko ndani yangu, yeye ni nguvu (Jesus is within me, He gives me strength)

Sibabaiki, sihangaiki (I am not afraid, I’m not troubled)
Siteteleki, na uhakika (I’m not shaken, I am assured)
Sibabaiki, siteteleki (I am not afraid, I am not shaken)
Sihangaiki na uhakika (I am not troubled I have assurance)
Yesu yu ndani yangu, nami ni ndani yake (Jesus is within me, and I am in Him)
Yesu yu ndani yangu, nami ni ndani yake (Jesus is within me, and I am in Him)
Yeye ni wa juu, yuko ndani yangu (He is of high, He is within me)
Mimi ni wa juu, juu sana (I am of high, very high)

Refrain:
Mimi wa viwango vya juu, vya juu (I am of higher levels)
Wa viwango vya juu, sana (Of very high levels)

Repeat: Refrain
Yesu yumo ndani yangu, nimembeba Yesu (Jesus is within me, I carry Jesus)
Hata kama mimi ni mfupi, mimi ni mrefu (Even if I am short, I am tall)
Hata kama mimi ni menene, mimi ni mwembaba (Even if I am fat, I am thin)
Mimi ni mweupe, na weusi wangu (I am light in my darkness)
Naringa na Yesu (I boast of Jesus)

Kwa nje naonekana kama natulia sana (From the outside I appear still)
Ila ndani yangu, napigana vita (But within me rages a war)
Kwa nje naonekana kama sisemi (From the outside I appear quiet)
Ila ndani yangu, mimi naongea sana (But within me I speak a lot)
Maana vita vyangu si ya damu na nyama (For my battle is not of flesh and blood)
Maana vita yangu, ni ulimwengu wa roho (For my battle is in the realm of the spirit)
Nisipojibu mwilini, najibu rohoni (If I do not answer in flesh, I answer in the spirit)
Nisipopingana kwa ngumi, napigana rohoni (If I do not fight with my hands, I fight with my spirit)
Mimi ni wa level/ngazi nyingine (I am of another level) x2

(Refrain)

Najivunia Yesu, Yesu jeuri yangu (I boast of Jesus, Jesus is my pride)
Yesu uzima wangu, Yesu mwokozi wangu (Jesus is my life, Jesus is my Savior)
Yesu mbabe wangu, Yesu mwalimu wangu (Jesus is my sponsor, Jesus is my teacher)
Mimi eh (Mine)

(Refrain)
