(Sung in Kinyarwanda)

Igihe, nta ntsinzi (The time, I wasn’t  seeing)
nabonaga imbere yanjye (The victory before me)
Rubasha, yarafoye (The Almighty saw it)
Aramasha ahamya mu kico (Aimed and gave it a fatal blow)
Gutarangwa, byanyujuje (Being slandered, has filled me)
Impamvu nyinshi zo guhimbaza (With many reasons to give praise)

Refrain:
Kuko uwiteka wanjye yafashe (For the Lord took his loveliness)
Igikundiro cye agitegekesha (And adorned me with it)
Icyangiro narimfite mu maso y’abantu (The ugliness I had in people eyes)
Ubwo mbona ngaruye ubuyanja (Was finally relieved)

Refrain 2:
Ibuye ryo kwizera, yampaye (The stone of faith that He has given me)
Ntiryari guhusha Goliyati (Would not miss Goliath)
Ntibyashobokaga ko nangara (It was not possible for me to be ashamed)
Kandi data ari umwami (When my Father is the King) (Repeat)

Yaravuze, ndakira (He has declared, and has walked with me)
Angendesha nemye, mu nzira zigoye (Through challenging paths)
Iherezo ryanjye ku bisi (The end my enemies intended for me)
Arigira itangiriro kuri we (Made it  the beginning for me)
Singikanzwe ukundi kandi (I am not no longer afraid)
Nshagawe n’igitinyiro cye (For I am surrounded by his Glory)

Dore umwanzi abuze uruvugiro (The adversary no longer have a say)
Abambari be bakwiye imishwaro (The conspirators are dispersed)
Intare ya Yuda iranesheje (The Lion of Judah has conquered) (Repeat)

(Refrain + Refrain 2)
