Oh ho Jesu wena o matla(Jesus you are powerful)
Wena fela mo feleeng (You alone my victor)

Oh ho Jesu wena o matla(oh yes Jesus you are powerful)
Wena fela Jesumo feleeng (You alone Jesus are the conqueror)
Wa ntwanela Jesu(you fight for me Jesus)
Wa ntlholela (you win for me)

Wa ntwanela Jesu(you fight for me)
Wa ntlholela (you win for me)

Ewe Jesu wena uliqhawe (Jesus you are a champion)
Wena Wedwa Jesu ungu Mnqobi (You alone Jesus are the conqueror)
(repeat)
Wangilwela Jesu, Wanginqobela(You fought for me Jesus, you conquered for me)
Wangilwela Jesu, Wena uliqhawe(You fought for me Jesus, you are the victor)
(repeat)
Oh ho Jesu wena o matla(oh yes Jesus you are powerful)
Wena fela Jesu o mo fenyi (You alone Jesus are the conqueror)
