1 Useme nami Bwana, uninong'oneze,
Useme na upendo kwamba sitaachwa;
Uufungue moyo ili nisikie,
Unijaze na sifa nikushangilie

Refrain:
Useme nami Bwana, useme na pendo,
Nitakuwa mshindi kwa uweza wako;
Useme kila siku, nitakusikia,
Useme nami Bwana, kwamba sitaachwa.

2 Useme nasi Bwana, kwako tuongozwe,
Tujazwe na furaha na utufundishe;
Tujitoe uzima kwa Ufalme wako,
Mbinguni kwa milele, tukuone humo. {Refrain]

3 Kama ulivyosema na watu wa kale,
Useme nasi sasa, Neno litendeke;
Nikutukuze Bwana, siku zangu zote,
Nikuheshimu pia, sasa na milele. [Refraom]
