(Sung in Kiswahili)

Ewe mwenyezi (Oh almighty)
Uchunguze roho ya mtumishi wako bwana (Investigate the heart of Your servant Lord)
Unitengeneze (Mould me)
Unifanye chombo cha thamani nyumbani kwako (Make me a worthy vessel in Your House)
Maana ulipo (For where You are)
Ndipo ninapotamani kuishi siku zote (I desire to live all my days) (Repeat)

Unigeukie, nione uso wako (Turn to me, that I may see Your face)
Ijaze mafu-ta, ulionipa (Fill up the oil you poured to me)
Unirudishie furaha yako (Restore unto me Your joy)
Furaha tele, ya wokovu! (Abundant joy of salvation) (Repeat)

Nipe kuchukia (Grant me to detest)
Tabia zote za siri nizidi kuwa nawe (Secret behaviors, that I may be with You)
Uniondolee (Remove from me)
Dhambi zote zinaponitenga na uwepo wako (All sins that separate me from Your presence)
Nihamasishie (Inspire in me)
Kufanana na Kristo kwa neno hata majaribuni (To be like Christ in word and against temptations)

(Refrain)

Unifanye chombo chako (Make me Your vessel)
Cha shughuli za fahari (Of great purpose)
Unitakase unijaze (Cleanse me, fill me)
Kwa furaha (With joy)
Furaha tele, ya wokovu! (The abundant joy of salvation!) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Hata kama dhambi zingekuwa nyekundu (Even if the sins are like blood)
Waweza kabisa kunisafisha (You can cleanse me completely)
Japo kuamini mnyonge na mpweke (Though my faith is faint and lonely)
Ulinipa nafasi nyingine (You granted me another chance)
