Maneno ya Kinywa Changu Lyrics by Betty Bayo

Verse 1
Maneno
ya kinywa changu
wacha yatawaliwe
na wewe Bwana

Verse 2
Ninaponena
juu ya maisha yangu
ninene ya baraka
si kulaani.

Verse 3
Nimebarikiwa
imeinuliwa maana
kunayo nguvu
katika maneno.

Verse 4
Ingawaje hali nilioko
ni ya kuhuzunisha
na kuhangaisha

Verse 5
nitabiri mema
tena mazuri
maana kunayo nguvu
katika maneno.

Verse 6
Kazi ya mikono
yangu
wacha ibarikiwe
na wewe Bwana

Verse 7
niamkapo
na nilalapo
wacha nilindwe
na wewe Bwana

Verse 8
Bwana naomba
yote nisemayo
uwe umenipa
ka yawe baraka

Verse 9
uimbaji wangu
tawaliwe nawe
ninene yote
yawe baraka
