(Sung in Swahili)

Nashuka mbele zako, miguuni pako (I prostrate myself before You, at Your feet)
Nazileta heshima na sifa (I bring honor and praise)
Dhamira yangu, nia yangu Yesu (My intent, my purpose Jesus)
Kukuabudu, we uliye hai (Is to worship You, the living One)
Kukuabudu, uliye Hai (To worship You, the Living One) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Sitaabudu miungu mingine (I will worship no other god)
Nakuabudu uliye hai(I only worship the Living one)
Sitaabudu miungu mingine (I will worship no other god)
Nakuabudu uliye hai(I only worship the Living one)
Uliye hai, hai (The Living One)
Nakuabudu uliye hai(I only worship the Living one)
Uliye hai, hai(The Living One)
Nakuabudu uliye hai (I only worship the Living one)

Mtakatifu! Mtakatifui! (Holy! Holy!)
Sifa utukufu uketiye enzini (Praise and honor to You who is sitted at the throne)
Sifa utukufu ni zako (Praise and honor are yours)
Wastahili wastahili (You deserve it, You deserve it)
Sifa utukufu uketiye enzini (Praise and honor to You who is sitted at the throne)
Sifa utukufu ni zako (Praise and honor are yours)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)

Majeshi Yalinizingira, adui walinitisha (Armies surrounded me, enemies frightened me)
Lakini ikakupendeza, Kunipigania (But you saw it fit, to fight for me) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Umenifuta machozi, Umeondoa kilio (You have wiped my tears, you have removed my cry)
Umenipa Ushindi, Ahsante Mungu Wangu You have given me victory, thank you my God) (Repeat)

Sijivunii ushindi, najivunia msalaba (I dont boast of my success, I boast of the cross)
Ya kwamba kwake Yesu, naweza Kuyatenda Yote (That in Jesus, I can do all things) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Sio kwa nguvu zangu, sio kwa uwezo wangu (Its not by my strength, not by my might)
Wala sio kwa majeshi,Ni kwa Roho wako (Its not for the armies, but your spirit) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Nalijua jina moja, jina lenye thamani (I know one name, one precious name)

(Sung in Swahili: The Shepherd’s Psalm – Psalm 23)

Bwana mchungaji wangu, sitapungukiwa (The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not Want)
katika malisho ya majani, mabichi hunilaza (He makes me to lie down in green pastures)
Kwa maji matulivu, yeye huniongoza (He leads me beside the still waters.)
Kwa uvuli wa mauti, sitaogopa kamwe (Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall not be afraid)

Repeat:
Umeniandalia, meza mbele yangu (You have prepared a table before me)
Machoni pa watesi wangu, Bwana huniongoza (Before my enemies, Lord )
Huisha nafsi yangu, katika njia za haki (He leads me in the paths of righteousness)
Kwa ajili ya jina lako, wewe upo nami (For His name’s sake, You are with me) (Repeat)

Nimekukimbilia, Baba Mungu wangu (I have run to You, Father my God)
Nisiaibike, mbele za watesi wangu (That I may not be ashamed before my enemies)
Wewe upo nami, gongo na fimbo yako (You are with me, Your rod and Your Staff)
Vyanifariji Baba, Sitaogopa kamwe (Comfort me Father, I shall not be afraid)

(Refrain)

Umenipaka mafuta, kichwani mwangu (You anoint my head with oil)
Kikombe kinafurika, machoni pa watesi wangu (My cup runs over, in front of my enemies)
Wema nazo fadhili, zitanifuata (Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me)
Siku zote za maisha yangu, nyumbani mwako milele (All the days of my life; In Your House forever)
