All my life sijaona mwaminifu akikosa mkate
All my life sijaona mwaminifu akikosa mkate
Hai nimechoka na vicheko, hai nimechoka na dharau
Sitojali hata jirani akipata kuniliko
Baba niokoe, Baba nishikilie,
Baba nisaidie, Baba nakuhitaji
Ni wako ni wako, nakwitaji ii
Ni wako ni wako, usiniache
Eloi Elohi lamasabakitani
Eloi Elohi lamasabakitani
Najiuliza kwa nini wateule twapitia majanga
Leo hii ni mimi kesho ni yule
Ninaomba bila kuchoka, situation bado ni same
Eloooi lamasabakitani, nakungojea Baba
Sema nami niko hapa, sema nami sibanduki kamwe
Ni wako ni wako, nakwitaji ii
Ni wako ni wako, usiniache
Eloi Elohi lamasabakitani
Eloi Elohi lamasabakitani
Uooh usiniache Baba aah,
Usiniach nanaa nanaah
Ni wako ni wako, nakwitaji ii
Ni wako ni wako, usiniache
Eloi Elohi lamasabakitani
Eloi Elohi lamasabakitani
Unikumbuke Baba usiniwache
Mimi wako Baba ninaomba
Eloi Eloi ...

Ruth Matete's song is a heartfelt prayer in Swahili and English, expressing deep dependence on God during trials. The lyrics echo Jesus' cry 'Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani' (My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?), conveying a sense of abandonment yet clinging to faith. The singer asks God not to forsake her, acknowledging her need for Him. The song reflects on the suffering of the righteous and the persistence of prayer even when circumstances don't change. It is a raw, honest cry for God's help and presence.
