Lyrics
Your will oh Lord
Your will oh Lord
Your will be done to me
Your will oh Lord
Your will oh Lord
Let Your will, let your will
Your will be done to me
Not my will oh Lord
But Your will in my life
Let will be done to me
But Your will be done to me
I know it's not easy
But this is my prayer to You
Let Your will, let your will
Your will be done to me
Your will oh Lord
Your will oh Lord
Your will be done to me
Your will oh Lord
Your will oh Lord
Your will be done to me
Mapenzi yangu yavunjike Yesu
Ya kwako yafanyike eeh
Your will be done to me
Matamanio yangu yaondoke Yesu
Ya kwako yafanyike maishani mwangu
Your will be done to me
Your will oh Lord
Your will oh Lord
Your will be done to me
I surrender
I surrender
Your will be done
Your will be done to me
Yahweh
Yahweh
Your will be done to me
I praise You
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Your will be done to me

Meaning & Inspiration
Your Will Be Done is a prayer of surrender expressed in both English and Swahili. Its central petition asks for personal desire to yield so that the will of God may shape the singer’s life. The admission that surrender is not easy gives the prayer honesty, while the repeated invocations of the Lord and Yahweh keep its attention fixed on God rather than on personal resolve.
The lyric closely recalls the prayer of Jesus before the crucifixion, when he submitted his own will to the Father. It also echoes the petition for the will of God to be done that appears in the Lord’s Prayer. The Swahili lines ask for personal wishes and ambitions to fall away, strengthening the theme of obedience across both languages. Repetition turns the short phrases into a sustained act of devotion, and the closing praise and hallelujahs connect surrender with worship. The song presents submission not as passivity, but as a deliberate prayer for a life aligned with God.
