(Sung in Swahili)
Nilimgoja Bwana kwa subira (I patiently waited for the Lord)
Akaniinamia akasikia kilio changu (He leaned down and heard my cries)
Akanipandisha toka shimo la uharibifu (He lifted me from the pit of destruction)
Toka udongo wa utelezi (From the miry clay)
Akaisimamisha miguu yangu mwambani (He stood me on a Solid Rock)
Akaziimarisha hatua zangu (And strengthened my steps)
Akatia wimbo mpya kinywani mwangu (He put a new song in my mouth)
Ndio sifa zako Mungu wetu (That is why we Praise You, our God)
Kwa yale umetenda nitaimba wimbo huu
(For all You’ve done, I will sing this song)
Kwa yale umenitendia, nitaimba wote wasikie
(For all You’ve done for me, I will sing for all to hear)
Umetenda ya ajabu maneno yananikosa
(You have done great things, that words fail me)
Umenitendea mengi mno, hayawezi hesabika
(You have done much for me, that it cannot be counted)
Refrain:
Wewe ni Mungu (You are God) x2
Unajibu maombi (You answer prayers) x2
U Mwaminifu (You are Faithful) x2
Wewe ni Mungu (You are God) x2 (Repeat)
Bridge:
Umenitoa kwenye shimo la utelezi (You lifted me from a miry pit)
Kaniweka juu ya mwamba imara (And placed me on a solid foundation)
Aibu kaondoa, vazi la heshima ukanivisha
(You removed my shame, and clothed me with respect)
Uzuni kaondoa furaha yako kanipa
(You removed my sorrow and granted my Your Joy)
(Refrain)
