Follow the lyrics and sing along:
Yesu kwetu ni Rafiki,
Hwambiwa haja pia,
Tukiomba kwa Babaye,
Maombi asikia.
Lakini twajikosesha,
Twajitweka vibaya,
Kwamba tulimwomba Mungu,
Dua angesikia.
Una dhiki na maonjo?
Una mashaka pia?
Haifai kufa moyo,
Dua atasikia.
Hakuna mwingine mwema,
Wakutuhurumia,
Atujua tu dhaifu,
Maombi asikia.
Je, hunayo hata nguvu,
Huwezi kwendelea,
Ujapodharauliwa
Ujaporushwa pia.
Watu wangekudharau,
Wapendao dunia,
Hukwambata mikononi,
Dua atasikia.
