(Sung in Kiswahili)

Refrain:
Niko hapa, naomba unikumbuke Baba (I am here, Father I ask that You remember me)
Ombi langu, na mimi unikumbuke Baba (This is my prayer, remember me too, Father)(Repeat)

Nimeona ukiinua wengine (I have seen You lift others up)
Kutoka chini kawapa nafasi nyingine (From humble beginnings, You gave them another chance)
Moyo wangu ikishuhudia kalia sana (My heart witnesses this and weeps)
Hata miguu yangu mimi, kaishiwa nguvu ya kuendelea (Even my legs have run out of strength to keep going)
Hali yangu mnyonge, sina kitu mfukoni kavu (My situation is desperate, my pockets are empty)
Bora siku sizonge, nimeweka tumaini kwako Mungu (No matter the difficulties, I have placed my hope in You, God)
Najua imani kidogo, yaweza hamisha milima (I know that even a little faith can move mountains)
Unaposaidia wengine, kuhamisha milima (As You help others to move mountains)
Nami unikumbuke Baba, nihamishe milima (Remember me too Father, and help me move mountains)
Niko hapa! (I am here!)

(Refrain)

Majaribu yakiwa mengi ninajua ni kipimo cha imani (When trials are many, I know they are a test of faith)
Ingawa yanatesa, tesa yanachanganya (Although they cause pain and leave me confused)
Hata walimwengu, wamenitosha na madharau yao (I’m tired of peoples’ contempt of me)
Basi fanya kitu kipya niwashuhudie (Do something new, that I may testify to them)
Mungu fanya jambo jipya niwashudie (God, do something new, so that I may testify to them)
Waone ukuu wako kwangu (Let them see Your greatness in my life)
Wayaone matendo yako kwangu (Let them see Your mighty works in my life)
Waone ukuu wako, ah (Let them see Your greatness)
Wayaone matendo yako, ah (Let them see Your mighty works)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Ee Baba, sio kwamba nateseka (Oh Father, it’s not that I am suffering)
Ama nina wivu na baraka za wengine (Or that I am jealous of other’s blessings)
Hapana niko sawa (No, I am content)
Ee Baba, sio kwamba nakukumbusha (Oh Father, it’s not that I am reminding You)
Kwamba labda umenisahau (That perhaps You have forgotten me)
Hapana, najua unanijua kwa jina (No, I know You know me by name)
Unaona nayopitia (You see what I am going through)

Ila kama mwanadamu kuna muda (But as a man there are times)
Moyo unauma nazidiwa (That I hurt and I’m overwhelmed)
Sa’ n’tamueleza nani kama si wewe? (Who would I tell, if not You?)
Mi ni kama mtu, kuna muda mambo (I’m just a man, there are times when things)
Yananizidia, nazidiwa (Burden me and I’m overwhelmed)
Sa’ n’tamwambia nani kama si wewe? (Who would I tell, if not You?)

Unapowabariki wengine (When You bless others)
Usiniache na mimi (Do not forget me)
Usiniache na mimi (Do not leave me behind)
Baba nakungoja (Father, I wait for You)
Unapowapa riziki wengine (When You provide for others)
Unikumbuke na mimi (Remember me)
Unikumbuke na mimi (Remember me too)
Baba nakungoja (Father, I wait for You)
Unapowabariki wengine (When You bless others)
Usiniache na mimi (Do not forget me)
Usiniache na mimi (Do not leave me behind)
Baba nakungoja (Father, I wait for You)

Riziki mafungu saba (There are seven portions of provision)
Pengine la kwangu la sita (Perhaps mine is the sixth)
Ila wewe pekee ndio unaweza ibadili hata ikawa kumi (You alone can change my destiny)
Sifikiri Mungu Baba (Father God, I do not think) 
Kwamba mi nd’o mwema kabisa (That I am the most righteous)
Ila naomba ipokee ikipendeza (I pray that if it pleases You)  
Dua yangu nifute hali duni (My humble prayer to erase my poverty)
Baba mi nikila na kulala (Father, when I eat and sleep)
Kupata shiba tu naridhikiwa (I will be content with enough)
Wape magari, nipe ndala (Give them cars, but give me sandals)
Walau miba kusitirika (For they protect my feet)
Ukinipa nyumba pia  (If You give me a house too)
Siwezi danganya n’tafarijika (I cannot lie, I will be comforted)
Pengine Baba biashara (Perhaps, Father, a business)
Wateja waje kutiririka (And the customers to come in plenty)

Maana kama mwanadamu kuna muda (For as a man there are times)
Mambo yananizidi, nazidiwa Baba (I’m overwhelmed by burdens)
Sa’ n’tamueleza nani kama si wewe? (So who will I tell if not You?)
Oh, kule ada, huku kodi ya pango (Tuition is demanded there, rent over here)
Na mfukoni sina kitu sina mambo (But my pockets are empty, and I have no plans)
Sa’ n’tamwambia nani kama si wewe? (Who would I tell if not You?)
Oh, Baba unapowabariki wengine. (Oh, Father, when You bless others)

Unapowabariki wengine (When You bless others)
Usiniache na mimi (Do not forget me)
Usiniache na mimi (Do not leave me behind)
Baba nakungoja (Father, I wait for You)
Unapowapa riziki wengine (When You provide for others)
Unikumbuke na mimi (Remember me)
Unikumbuke na mimi (Remember me too)
Baba nakungoja (Father, I wait for You)
Unapofuta machozi wengine (When You wipe away the tears of others)
Usiniache na mimi (Do not forget me)
Usiniache na mimi (Do not leave me behind)
Baba nakungoja (Father, I wait for You)
Unapowainua wengine (When You lift others up)
Unikumbuke na mimi (Remember me)
Unikumbuke na mimi (Remember me too)
Baba nakungoja (Father, I wait for You)
