Lyrics
Intro
(Spoken)
Kama Mungu ungetazama
(If God you were to look)
Kama watu tunavyotazama
(As we people look)
Nisingetosha kwenye mizani
(I would not fit on the scale)
Nisingekidhi masharti
(I would not meet the requirements)
Verse 1
Hukuangalia historia ya familia niliyotokea
(You did not look at the history of the family I came from)
Hazikukutisha zangu tabia
(My behaviors did not scare you)
Ulilitazama lililo Jema
(You looked at what is good)
Umenipenda nisiyestahili
(You have loved me, I who do not deserve it)
Umeniita mwanao
(You have called me your child)
Niliyejidhania kuwa sifai
(I who thought myself unworthy)
Umenipenda Upeo
(You have loved me to the limit/greatly)
Umebadilisha na yangu asili
(You have changed my nature/origin)
Umenifanya mboni ya jicho lako
(You have made me the apple of your eye)
Verse 2
Ungehitaji walio kamili
(If you needed those who are perfect)
Mimi si mmoja wao
(I am not one of them)
Ulichojali wangu utayari wa kufanya utakalo
(What you cared about was my readiness to do your will)
Umenikabidhi na zako siri
(You have entrusted me with your secrets)
Na kunifanya rafiki wa moyo wako
(And made me a friend of your heart)
Chorus
Bwana Umenikubali Jinsi Nilivyo
(Lord, you have accepted me as I am)
Umenikubali Jinsi Nilivyo
(You have accepted me as I am)
Umeona Jema ndani yangu
(You have seen good inside me)
Na Wala hukutazama Unyonge wangu
(And you did not look at my weakness/humility)
Verse 3
Kuna muda najiuliza
(There are times I ask myself)
Wewe ni Mungu wa namna gani
(What kind of God are you)
Uliyenipenda na kunikubali mtu wa namna hii
(Who loved me and accepted me, a person like this)
Ziko nyakati hata mimi napata shida kujikubali
(There are times even I have trouble accepting myself)
Iweje wewe unipende mtu wa namna hii
(How is it that you love me, a person like this)
Chorus
Umenipenda Nisiyestahili
(You have loved me, I who do not deserve it)
Umeniita mwanao
(You have called me your child)
Niliyejidhania kuwa sifai
(I who thought myself unworthy)
Umenipenda Upeo
(You have loved me to the limit/greatly)
Umebadilisha na yangu asili
(You have changed my nature/origin)
Umenifanya mboni ya jicho lako
(You have made me the apple of your eye)
Bridge
Ungehitaji walio kamili

Chorus
Bwana Umenikubali Jinsi Nilivyo
(Lord, you have accepted me as I am)
Umenikubali Jinsi Nilivyo
(You have accepted me as I am)
Umeona Jema ndani yangu
(You have seen good inside me)
Na Wala hukutazama Unyonge wangu
(And you did not look at my weakness/humility)
Outro
Ahsanteee
(Thank you)
Ahsanteee
(Thank you)
Ahsanteee
(Thank you)
Ahsanteee maana Umeona Jema ndani yangu
(Thank you because you have seen good inside me)
Hukutazama Unyonge wangu
(You did not look at my weakness/humility)
