When God spoke unto Noah, and said to build the ark, The Lord knew well the vessel would cheerless be and dark, So God said, “Build a window, with outlook toward the sky, That when it’s dark and lonesome, you’ll see Me standing by.” Refrain: “The storms will come, but fear not, oh, children, I am nigh, And through the upper window, you’ll see Me standing by.” “It may be that affliction will rack and rend your frame, Until your mortal body is seared with fevered flame, But do not be discouraged, just lift your tear-dimmed eye, And through the upper window, you’ll see Me standing by. “Perhaps you’ll suffer losses, like houses, lands, and gold, And you will feel you’re homeless, and penniless, and old; But sweetest peace and comfort will lift your painful sigh, When through the upper window, you see Me standing by. “It may be that bereavement will take a loved one dear, A soul that brought you gladness, real happiness and cheer; But it will cheer your sad heart, when loved ones from you fly, When through the upper window, you see Me standing by.”

(Verse 1) Dhambi ilitawala kabla ya Yesu, tukabaki wadaiwa, Lakini Yesu alikuja kutulipia deni, Msalabani aliteseka, damu yake ikamwagika, Kwa neema yake, tumefanywa wapya! (Chorus) Neema, neema, imenikomboa, Sio kwa matendo, bali kwa rehema! Yesu ni uzima, ameniokoa milele, Mikononi mwake, sitaangamia! (Verse 2) Kuzaliwa upya, si kwa nguvu zangu, Ni kwa Roho wake, ninatembea naye, Kristo yu hai, ndani yangu sasa, Ninaishi kwa imani, ya Mwana wa Mungu! (Verse 3) Sasa niko huru, dhambi haina nguvu, Maisha yangu mapya, ni kwa neema yake, Nitatangaza injili, kwa kila taifa, Kwa maana Yesu yu hai ndani yangu milele! (Bridge) Hakuna wa kuninyakua, kutoka mkononi mwake, Baba yangu ni mkuu, ananilinda milele! Hakuna wa kuninyakua, kutoka mkononi mwake, Yesu alinipenda, akajitoa kwa ajili yangu! (Chorus) Neema, neema, imenikomboa, Sio kwa matendo, bali kwa rehema! Yesu ni uzima, ameniokoa milele, Mikononi mwake, sitaangamia! (Outro ) Bwana amenipa uzima, Sasa naishi kwa utukufu wake, Nitangaze habari njema, Neema yake yahifadhi roho zote!
