Lyrics
You uuh you uuh you Lord
You uuh you uuh you Lord
You uuh you uuh you Lord
You uuh you uuh you Lord
There are times in my life, huwa nimejazwa na uwoga mwingi
I don't know where to start, sina fahamu wapi nianzie
Then I am thinking to myself, ni nani atakaye nituliza
Wewe ni mwanzo tena we mwisho
Wewe ndiye ngao yangu ya maisha
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
There are days in my life ,Huwa ninajipata nimeteleza
And guilt inside me, Inanifanya nianguke
Then I look into your word, Unavyonipenda mimi
We ni Ngai, wee munene, Nishikilie leo na milele
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
Nami so wacha nikushow bro
Everywhere He goes watu wanagrow strong, so strong
God created you to His specification
His Grace is sufficient for this generation
Ombi langu baba nikuwa katika kila ibada
Nikuabudu, nikushukuru baba
Nikupe sifa, nikuombe wadhifa
Nikupe sifa, nikuombe maarifa
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
The song presents devotion to God through English, Swahili, and Kenyan vernacular expressions. Its verses name fear, uncertainty, guilt, and moral failure without allowing those experiences to become the final word. God is described as beginning and end, a shield for life, and the One whose love steadies a person who has slipped. The recurring declaration of living for the Lord gathers these different struggles into a response of worship and lasting dependence.
Several biblical themes are stated with unusual clarity. The image of God as a shield parallels Psalm 28:7, where trust and divine help lead to praise. The line about sufficient grace directly reflects 2 Corinthians 12:9, while the desire to offer worship, thanks, praise, and prayer fits the whole-life devotion described in Romans 12:1. The later verse also turns outward, encouraging strength and recognizing each person as created by God. Across its multilingual lines, the song joins confession, assurance, gratitude, and surrender in a distinctly East African expression of Christian worship.
