(Sung in Kiswahili)

Refrain:
Hatua, hatua zangu (Steps, my steps)
Zinaongozwa, na Bwana  (Are led by the Lord)
Hatua, hatua zangu (Steps, my steps)
Zinaongozwa, na Bwana  (Are led by the Lord)
Nikitaka kusogea, sogea (If I want to advance)
Ananisogeza (He advances me)
Nikitaka kupandisha panda (If I want to climb)
Ananipandisha (He lifts me up)
Nikitaka kusogea, sogea (If I want to advance)
Ananisogeza (He advances me)
Nikitaka kupandisha panda (If I want to climb)
Ananipandisha (He lifts me up)
Panda, panda, panda, panda  (Climb up, climb, climb)
Hatua! (Step!)

Kumbe hatua zangu, zinaongozwa na wewe (Truly my steps are led by You)
Mikakati yangu, inapangwa na wewe (My strategies, are planned by you)
Kila stepu stepu, natembea na wewe (I walk all my steps with You)
Kila mahali, natembea na wewe (I walk with you in every place)
Huku na huko, natetembea na wewe  (Here and there, I walk with You)
Kibali chako, uwepo wako (Your approval and your presence)
Neema yako, kibali chako   (Your grace and your favor)
Tembea nami x2 Usiniachilie x2  (Walk with me, do not leave me)
Nikaanguka, nikajikwaa  (To fall, to stumble)

(Refrain)

Ni nani awezaye kuhesabu nywele za kichwa changu na aseme!
(Who can count the number of hairs on my head, tell me!)
Ni nani awezaye kuhesabu hatua za Mungu aendapo aseme!
(Who can count the steps of God where He goes, tell me!)
Amenichora kweye vitanga vya mikono yake x2  (He has drawn me in the palms of His hands)
Ameandika jina langu mikoni mwake  (He has written my name on His hands)
Ameandika na siku zangu kwa damu yake  (He has written my days by His blood)
Nikiongozwa na nani? Nikiongozwa naye  (Led by whom? Led by Him)
Nikitembezwa na nani? Ninatembe na yeye  (Walking with who? I am walking with Him)
Baraka zangu, mikononi mwake (My blessings are in His hands)
Amani yangu, mikononi mwake (My peace is in His hands)
Nainuliwa, mikononi mwake (I am lifted by His hands)
Hatua, hatua zangu (My steps, my steps)
Zinaongozwa, na Bwana  (Are led by the Lord)

Akikanyaga, nami nakanyaga pale (Where He steps, there I step)
Akikosha, nami ninakosha pale (Where He cleans, there I clean)
Akikanyaga, nami nakanyaga pale (Where He steps, there I step)
Alama kaniachia x2  (His scars are the testimony)
Nasonga, nasonga (I move, I advance)

(Refrain)
