(Sung in Swahili)

Adui aliomba, anisiagasiage (The enemy prayed to crush me)
Anisiagasiage, kama ngano (To grind me like wheat)
Lakini Yesu aliomba, mimi nisimame (But Jesus asked me to stand)
Mimi nisimame kwa wema weke (Me to stand on His Goodness)
Adui aliitisha, anisiagasiage (The enemy asked to grind me)
Tena anipepete, kama ngano (And then winnow me like wheat)
Lakini Yesu akasimama, akaomba (But Jesus stood, and pleaded on my behalf)
Mimi nisimame kwa wema wake (That I may stand on his Goodness)
Ndio leo nimesimamama (That is is why today I stand)

Refrain:
Nimesimama! Kwa rehema na neema yake (I am still standing! By His Mercy and Grace)
Ile gharama, ya uhai wangu/dhambi zangu (That ransom on my life/ on my sins)
Yesu amelipa yote (Jesus has paid it all)
Mimi sitokufa, sitozimia (I will not die, I will not faint)
Nitasimama kwa wema wake (I will stand upon His Goodness)
Mimi sitokufa, sitozimia (I will not die, I will not faint)
Nitasimama kwa wema wake (I will stand upon His Goodness)

Nilipokaribia, kitini cha enzi (When I came close to the throne)
Shetani alisema “ni mchafu” (Satan said “But she is dirty”)
Yesu akasimama, akasema “ona (Jesus stood, and said “Behold)
Nimelipa gharama yake” (I have paid her ransom”)
Nilipokaribia, kitini cha enzi (When I came close to the throne)
Shetani alisema “huyu hafai” (Satan accused “this one is not worthy”)
Yesu akasimama, akasema “Baba ona (Jesus stood, and said “Father see)
Nimelipa gharama yake” (I have already paid her ransom”)

(Refrain)

Adui alinizika, akasema nimeisha (The enemy buried me, saying I was done for)
Sitoonekana tena kamwe (And will never be seen again)
Yesu alipofika, akaniita (When Jesus arrived, He called me)
Akanipa uhai wake (He gave me His Life)
Adui alinizika, akatangaza nimekufa (The enemy buried me, and announced my death)
Sitoonekana tena kamwe (I will never be seen again)
Yesu alipofika,akasema “toka!” (When Jesus arrived, he said “Be gone!”)
Akanipa uhai wake (And gave me His life)

(Refrain)

Mimi sitokufa, sitozimia (I will not die, I will not faint)
Nitasimama kwa wema wake (I will stand upon His Goodness)
Mimi sitokufa, sitozimia (I will not die, I will not faint)
Nitasimama kwa wema wake (I will stand upon His Goodness) (Repeat)

(Languages: English, Swahili)

Sometimes in life, tumaini hufifia (hope fades)
Sometimes in life, huzuni kama maji mengi (sorrows like many waters)
And when you need some help, marafiki wakutoroka (Your friends flee you)
And when your strength is gone; hakuna wa kutegemea (There’s no one to depend on)
But I’ve got a word for you:

Shikilia (Hold on), through the darkness night
When faith is gone away, Waweza kusimama (You can stand)
If you just hold on through the rainy storm
When faith is growing thin, waweza kusimama (You can stand)
You can stand

You don’t even understand why they say Mungu akujali (that God cares for you)
The way you feel right now, you don’t even think you can pray
Zake zitakutosha (He is enough for you), This is the time to lift up your voice and say

Nitashikilia (I will hold on), through the darkness night
When faith is gone away, Nitasimama (I will stand)
If I can hold on through the rainy storm
When faith is growing thin, Nitasimama (I will stand) (Repeat)

I will stand x3 Nitasimama, I will stand.
