wacha yatawaliwe na wewe Bwana
maneno ya kinywa changu
wacha yatawaliwe na wewe Bwana
Ninaponena juu ya maisha yangu
ninene ya baraka si kulaani.
Nimebarikiwa imeinuliwa maana kunayo nguvu katika maneno.
Ingawaje hali nilioko ni ya kuhuzunisha na kuhangaisha
nitabiri mema tena mazuri
maana kunayo nguvukatika maneno.
Maneno ya kinywa changu
wacha yatawaliwe na wewe Bwana,
Maneno ya kinywa changu
wacha yatawaliwe na wewe Bwana.
Kazi ya mikono yangu
wacha ibarikiwe na wewe Bwana
niamkapo na nilalapo
wacha nilindwe na wewe Bwana
Maneno ya kinywa changu
wacha yatawaliwe na wewe Bwana,
Maneno ya kinywa changu
wacha yatawaliwe na wewe Bwana.
Bwana naomba yote nisemayo
uwe umenipa ka yawe baraka
uimbaji wangu tawaliwe nawe
ninene yote yawe baraka
Maneno ya kinywa changu
wacha yatawaliwe na wewe Bwana,
Maneno ya kinywa changu
wacha yatawaliwe na wewe Bwana.
