Isindu's song 'Isindu Ubabi' is a Swahili gospel track that declares knowing Jesus is the ultimate treasure, or 'ubabi.' The lyrics contrast worldly achievements like luxury cars, wealth, and education with the surpassing value of a relationship with Christ. The artist references a pastor's instruction to raise hands and look to heaven, affirming God's power. The song encourages people from all walks of life—doctors, lawyers, drivers, and residents of Nairobi neighborhoods—to recognize that knowing Jesus surpasses all earthly status. It is a joyful, faith-filled anthem of surrender and praise.

Uwe na simu kali, eti ndio ubabi.
Niendeshe Range rover, hata nifike wapi
Kuenda hadi Ng'ambo, eeh eti ndio ubabi
Na Pastor alisema weka mikono yako kwa hewa
Tazama mbinguni, kweli Mungu anaweza yote ye iyeye.
Maboys mitaani, masister kina mama,
Ata uende wapi kumjua Yesu ndo Ubabi
Hata nipige tizi, jim nishani sana
Hata nifanye nini yoyo, Kumjua Yesu ndo ubabi.
Kumjua Yesu ndo Ubabi, Kumjua Yesu ndo ubabi
Kumjua yesu ndo Ubabi, nasema kumjua Yesu ndo Ubabi
Hata niwe dakitari, hata nisome sana niwe na mali
Hata niende wapi, kumjua Yesu ndo Ubabi
Hata uwe, rubani, lawyer, Engineer, dakitari.
Wenye Kusoma sana, kumjua Yesu ndo ubabi.
Na Pastor alisema weka mikono yako kwa hewa
Tazama mbinguni, kweli Mungu anaweza yote ye iyeye.
Kibera na Kayole, watu wote Nairobi,
dereva na maconductor Kumjua Yesu ndo ubabi
Kumjua Yesu ndo Ubabi, Kumjua Yesu ndo ubabi
Kumjua yesu ndo Ubabi, nasema kumjua Yesu ndo Ubabi.
Kumjua Yesu ndo Ubabi, Kumjua Yesu ndo ubabi
Kumjua yesu ndo Ubabi, nasema kumjua Yesu ndo Ubabi.
