(Sung in Kiswahili)

Hata macho yangu yasipoona njia (Even if my eyes do not see the way)
Na masikio yangu yasisikie sauti yako (And my ears do not hear your voice)
Bado neno moja linabaki moyoni mwangu (One word still remains in my heart)
Nitaamini, nitaamini! (I will trust, I will believe)

Nitasimama kwa imani, Bwana (I will stand on faith, Lord)
Nitaamini! (I will believe!)
Nikiangalia safari yangu, na milima mbele yangu (When I see my journey and the mountains before me)
Wakati mwingine nahisi hofu, na kutakata tamaa (Sometimes I fear, and want to give up)
Sauti za wanadamu zinasema (The voices of people say)
“Haiwezekani! Umefika mwisho” (“It is impossible! You have reached the end”)
Na ripoti za dunia hii zinanivunja moyo wangu (Also the reports of this world break my heart)
Lakini sauti yako yako ya upole, Bwana (But your gentle voice, Lord)
Inazima kelele zote (Silence all the noise)

Umenitoa mbali sana (You have brought me from far)
Siwezi kusahau wema wako (I will not forget your Goodness)
Umenipigania vita (You have fought my battles)
Ambavyo sikukuwa na nguvu navyo (That I did not have the strength to fight)
Yule Mungu aliyenishikilia jana (The same God who held me yesterday)
Ndiye Mungu wangu leo, na hata milele! (Is my God today, and forevermore!)

Refrain:
Nitaamini! Hata kama nimezungukwa (I will believe! Even if I am surrounded)
Wewe ni Mungu wa ahadi, hashindwi wala hubadiliki (You are the promise keeper, undefeated  and unchanging)
Nitasimama juu ya neno lako Bwana, Nitaamini (I will stand on Your word Lord, I will trust)
Oh nitaamini, Oh nitaamini (Oh I will believe)

Namkubuka mama Hajiri, kule jangwani pekee yake (I remember Mother Hagar, alone in the desert)
Alipofukuzwa na Bwana wake (When she was chased by her husband)
Yeye na mwanawe Ishmael, maji yalipoisha kwenye kiriba (With her son Ishmael, when they ran of water)
Akamweka mwanawe mbali, akalia kwa uchungu mwingi (She set him aside, and cried with great pain)
Asione kifo cha mwanawe, alidhani ni mwisho (To not witness the death of her child, thinking it was the end)
Mungu amemsahau kabisa (That God had completely forgotten her)
Lakini wewe El-Rohi, Mungu unaeyeona (But you El-Roi, God who sees)
Ulisikia kilio cha mtoto, ukamwita Hajiri (You heard the child’s cries, and called Hagar)
Ukafungua macho yake, akakiona kisima cha maji (You opened her eyes to see the well of water)
Mungu, aliyemwona Hajiri, ndiye anayeniona mimi leo (The God who saw Hagar, is the same who sees me today)

(Refrain)

Namkumbuka Elija, juu ya mlima Karmeli (I remember Elijah on top of Mount Carmel)
Alisimama pekee yake, mbele ya manabii wa Baali (Standing alone, before the prophets of Baal)
Walilia na kujikatakata, lakini mungu wao alikuwa kimya  (They cried and cut themselves, but their god was silent)
Lakini Elija alipoomba Mungu wa kweli (But when Elijah prayed to the True God)
Mungu wa Abrahamu, moto ukashuka (God of Abraham, and fire came down)
Moto ukashuka, ukateketeza dhabihu (The fire came down and burned up the sacrifice)
Ukala mawe na vumbi, ukakausha maji yote  (It consumed the stones and the soil, and dried out the water)
Watu wote wakapiga magoti, wakasema  (And all the people fell prostrate and said)
“Yehova, ndiye Mungu”  (“Jehovah, He is God”)

Yeye ni Mungu anayejibu, kwa moto  (He is the God who answers by fire)
Yeye ni Mungu anayeona jangwani  (He is the God who sees in the desert)
Yeye ni Mungu anayefungua bahari  (He is the God who opens the waters)
Kwa hivyo nitaamini  (And so I will believe)
Nitaamini  (I will believe)

(Refrain)

Umenitoa mbali, sitasahau  (You have brought me from far, I will not forget)
Nitaendelea kuamini  (I will continue to believe)
Nitaamini, nitaamini  (I will believe, I will believe)
Hadi mwisho, nitaamini  (Even unto the end, I will believe)
