“Aketiye mahali pake pa siri pa aliye juu (“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High)
Huyo atakaa katika uvuli wake Mwenyezi (Will rest in the shadow of the Almighty)
Ataokolewa kwa mitego ya adui” (They will be saved from the fowler’s snare)
Silaha zote na mishale, haitofanikiwa (Neither the arrows nor other weapons shall succeed)

Kaa nami, karibu nami (Abide with me, close to me)
Ndani yangu, nami ndani yako (You in me, and I in You)
Univute karibu nawe, mikononi mwako (Drae me closer to You, within Your arms)
Univute karibu nawe, niwe na wewe, Bwana (Draw me closer to You, that I be with You, Lord)

Spoken:
Mungu anaweza kufanya njia jangwani (God can make a way in the jungle)
Na mito ya maji nyikani (And rivers in the desert)
Kama alifanya masika na kiangazi (Like he created Spring and Summer)
Anaweza kubadili majira, pia na wakati (He can change seasons and time)
Giza, totoro yanizingira (Deep darkness surrounds me)
Miale haijanifikia (The rays (of sunshine) does not reach me)
Ilhali kumekucha, pambazuka (Even though it is dawn, there is light)
Imani, yashuka yadidimia (My faith drops and weakens)
Amani nayo yafifia (And peace flees from me)
Eloi, Lamasabaktani (Elo, Lamasabakhtani?)
Refrain:
Yuko Mungu, anayeweza (There is God who is able)
Yuko Mungu, anayetenda (There is God able to do)
Mwamini Yeye! (Trust in Him!)
Mwamini Yeye, utoaibika (Trust in Him, you will not be ashamed)
Giza likiwa ni nzito (When darkness is heavy)
Bwana atawasha taa (The Lord will shine a light)
Sababu Mungu mwenye Amandla (Because God is the one with the Strength)
Atarejesha amani, (He will restore your peace)
Atarejesha furaha (He shall restore your joy)
Ulivyovipoteza kwa muda mrefu (The one you’ve lost for a long time)
Atarejesha Amandla (The Powerful one will return it)
(Refrain)
Repeat:Mungu pekee Ndiye awezaye (Only God is able)
Pale ninaposhindwa, nani wa kuniwezesha? (When I am unable, who grants me strength?)
Nikiwa vitani, nani wa kunishindia? (When I’m in battle, who is my champion?)
Napokuwa mdhaifu, nani wa kunipa nguvu? (When I am weak, who gives me strength?)
Ninapotia shaka nani wa kuniongoza (When I am doubtful, who leads me?)
Yuko Mungu, Mungu Yupo (There is God, God is there)
Oh…
