Sitaabudu miungu mingine iliyo na mifano yeyote
Sitapiga magoti yangu nisujudu
Nitakusanya sadaka zangu ziwe manukato
Kwa Yesu, Astahili Sifa ( x2)
Naleta sadaka za sifa Kwako Bwana
Heshima na Mamlaka zipokee
Mtakatifu Matakatifu
Nakuita Mtakatifu
Oh Yesu, Wewe Mtakatifu
Pokea Sifa
Na utukufu,
Na Heshima
Bwana
Oh Yesu, Wewe Mtakatifu
Naleta sadaka za sifa Kwako Bwana
Heshima na Mamlaka zipokee
Mtakatifu Matakatifu
Nakuita Mtakatifu
Oh Yesu, Wewe Mtakatifu
Naleta sadaka za sifa Kwako Bwana
Heshima na Mamlaka zipokee
Mtakatifu Matakatifu
Nakuita Mtakatifu
Oh Yesu, Wewe Mtakatifu

The opening line — "Sitaabudu miungu mingine" ("I will not worship other gods") — states the first commandment in Swahili, Exodus 20:3's "you shall have no other gods before me." "Naleta sadaka za sifa Kwako Bwana" ("I bring a sacrifice of praise to You, Lord") reflects Hebrews 13:15's instruction to "continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God." The repeated title, "Mtakatifu" ("Holy"), echoes the same threefold declaration found in Isaiah 6:3, though here sung as direct address rather than the angelic cry that passage describes. The song's structure — a sung offering of praise followed by naming God's holiness — mirrors the pattern of temple worship in the Psalms, where sacrifice and declaration of God's character are presented together.
