Bwana Mungu (Dear Lord)

Dear Lord, You explore me and You know me
eebwa umenichunguza nakunijua mimi

You know where I am sitting and my time to go
unajua kuketi kwangunakuondoka kwangu

You know me, You know my way, where I am going
You know everything about me, my Lord
wewe wajua njia zangu popote niendapo wala hakuna usilo lijua

I can't hide from Your face
siwezi kujificha na uso wako

You know all things I am doing, my Lord
yote nifanyayo wajua bwana
 
It's how You create me
wewndiye uliye niumba mimi
  
Where can I go if I will leave You, my Lord
I am coming to You, accept me
nikuache niende kwananinajakwako nipokee

(chorus 2 times)
Oh, my Lord, You're with me in the days, months and years
bwana wewe ndiwe mlinzi wangu kwa siku mwezi hadi mwaka  upopamoja nami '

I have nothing to pay You back, my Lord
Because the world and all things in it are Yours, my Lord
sina cha kukulipa mungu wangu kwani dunia na vyote vijazavyo ni mali yako mungu wangu

I am coming to You with my sins, accept me, my Lord
Wash me by your blood, my Lord
naja kwako nipokee mimi mwenye dhambi naomba unioshe kwa damu yako bwana
