Umweo wandi waliluba mufyesonde (My soul is lost in worldly ways)
Isuleni amenso yandi ayakumupashi (Open my spiritual eyes)

Naipela, naileta kuli imwe (I offer myself, I bring myself before You)
Insansa shandi namano fyaba muli imwe (My joy, I realize, is in You)
Filye fyo mwandaile, Tata, ndelolela: (For the promises you made to me, Father, I await:)
Ati nganaipela kuli imwe (That if I dedicate myself to You)
Nataluka nakumilimo ilya iyakale, iya bubi (And distance myself from my old, evil ways,)
Imwe mukanjita umwana wenu, Tata (You will regard me as your child, Father)
Fumyeni umutima uyu uwakosa muli ine (Take this hardened heart from me)
Mbuleni Tata ifyo ndi, naisa (Father, take me the way I am, I come)

Namano yandi yaliko akale (And all my old ways)
Lintu nshilabako, Lesa Mwalinsalile (Before I was born, Lord, You chose me)
Nengeni ukumona ifya bukulu bwenu (Make me see your greatness)
Muncite mbe ulubuto lwakubengashima (Make me a shining light)
Muncite mbe iluba, Yaweh (Make me a flower, Lord)
Nciteni mbe ulwimbo lupya (Make me a new song)
Kuti ndemwimbila ishamalumbo yenu (That I may sing songs of praise to You.)
