Isaac Kahura's song 'Baba Naomba' is a Swahili prayer song where the singer earnestly asks God for blessing and transformation. The lyrics express a deep dependence on God, refusing to leave His presence until He bestows His blessing. The song references the biblical story of Jacob being renamed Israel, symbolizing a change and blessing. The repeated plea 'Baba naomba, kubarikiwa nawe' (Father I pray to be blessed by You) underscores a theme of persistent prayer and surrender. The song conveys a longing for God's touch and assurance of safety and blessing in His presence.

Nibadilishe, Unibariki,
baraka zako, haina huzuni,
nizakudumu milele amina
Baba naomba, kubarikiwa nawe,
sitoki hapa usiponibariki
Baba naomba, kubarikiwa nawe,
sitoki hapa usiponibariki
ukabadilisha, Yakobo jina ukamwita,
isreael maana yake, kubarikiwa
nami naomba kubarikiwa nawe.
Baba naomba, kubarikiwa nawe,
sitoki hapa usiponibariki
Baba naomba, kubarikiwa nawe,
sitoki hapa usiponibariki
Ninapokutazama utanininua,
Ninapokutazama utanibariki,
Ninapokutazama sitaogopa kamwe,
Sitoki hapa bila uguso wako.
Baba naomba, kubarikiwa nawe,
sitoki hapa usiponibariki
Baba naomba, kubarikiwa nawe,
sitoki hapa usiponibariki
Ukinigusa nimebarikiwa,
Uguso wako, ni baraka kwangu,
ulimgusa Batholomayo akaona,
Ndipo nasema, nataka uguso wako.
Sitoki hapa usinibariki.
Baba naomba, kubarikiwa nawe,
sitoki hapa usiponibariki
Baba naomba, kubarikiwa nawe,
sitoki hapa usiponibariki
