YEBO [Nitawale] Lyrics by Vestine

Mwokozi wangu, nakuhitaji zaidi (My savior, I greatly need You)
Na Mwoyo wangu, unalia uwepo wako (And my heart, cries for your presence)
Nimejaribu on my own, lakini siwezi (I have tried on my own, and cannot do it)
Nakutegemea, usiniache kamwe (I rely upon you, never abandon me)

Nikiwa bado napumua (While there is still breath in me)
Jina lako ndilo nitajivunia (It is Your Name that I will boast upon)
Tena sitaki kitu cha kunikataza (Nor will I accept what will prevent me)
Kuwa chombo chako (From being Your vesssel)

Sauti yako ikaniita (Your voice called me)
Vingine vyote mimi kakataa (And I abandoned all else)
Nifiche ndani ya mabawa yako (Hide me in your feathers)
Nifike mwisho wa safari (Until the end of my journey)

Najua kwamba mimi ni wako (I know that I am Yours)
Unanipenda tena Sana (You love me greatly)
Nuru yako imenitoa gizani (Your light has brought me from darkness)
Sitaogopa kamwe (I will not be afraid) (Repeat)

Nitawale sasa, na hata milele Bwana (Rule over me now and into forever, Lord)
Overpower all of me, the way you truly desire
Natamani kuongozwa (I desire to be led)
Na Mkono wako Wenye nguvu (By Your mighty hand)
Breath the Fresh Air into my heart
Amen! Amen! Amen!
Yebo yebo Jesu, Yebo yebo Jesu (Yes yes, Jesus) — In Zulu
Yebo Yebo, ngidinga wena! (Yes yes , I need You)
Yebo yebo Jesu, Yebo yebo Jesu (Yes yes, Jesus)
Yebo yebo, ngidinga wena! (Yes yes , I need You)

Ee Mungu nitumikishe (Oh father use me)
Katika faida za mbingu (To the benefit of the heavens)
Nisimamie vizuri (To be a good steward)
Ufalme wako ndani ya ulimwengu (Your kingdom on earth)

Nijaze nguvu nipambane (Fill me with the strength to battle)
Udhaifu wangu uondoe (Remove my weaknesses)
Nidharau mishale ya machungu (For me to despise the arrows of bitterness)
Adui anaonipiga (And enemies who oppose me)

Hawa wanataja magari (While they trust chariots)
Wengine wanataja mafarasi (And the others trust horses)
Bali sisi tunalitaja (But we declare)
Hilo jina la Bwana (The Name of the Lord) (Repeat)

Najua kwamba mimi ni wako (I know that I am Yours)
Unanipenda tena Sana (You love me greatly)
Nuru yako imenitoa gizani (Your light has brought me from darkness)
Sitaogopa kamwe (I will not be afraid) (Repeat)

Sitaogopa kamwe (I will not be afraid)
Bonde la mauti (The valley of death)
Kwenye shimo la simba (The lion’s den)
Katika giza tupu (The pure darkness)
Ndani ya bahari kuu (The deep sea)
