(First part sung in Zulu)
Ketshepile Wena, Ketshepile Wena (I trust in you, I trust in you)
Ketshepile Wena, wena fela (I trust in you, you God) x2

Gareng ga matlhomola,gareng ga ditsietsi,
(In the midst of problems,in the midst of troubles)
Ketshepile Wena, wena fela (I trust in you, you God) x2

(Second part sung in Sotho)
Sawulahlela Ekhalvari, Umthwalo wezono zami
(It was washed away in Calvary, the weight of my sins)
Wanyamalala, Wanyamalala, umthwalo wezono zami
(It is gone, it is gone, the weight of my sins) x2

Wanyamalala, Wanyamalala, umthwalo wezono zami
(It is gone, it is gone, the weight of my sins) x4

(Sung in Kiswahili – A Hymn)

Sioshwi dhambi zangu, bila damu yake | What can wash away my sins, but his blood
Nahitaji kabisa, dawa ya makosa yangu | I need it completely, the cure for my sins
Ndiposa nakimbia pale msalabani | Thus I run to the cross
Haya initakase, damu ya mkombozi | That it may cleanse me, the blood of my savior

Refrain:
Damu, damu, damu ya mkombozi damu (Blood, blood, blood of my savior blood)
Damu, damu, damu ya mkombozi damu (Blood, blood, blood of my savior blood)

Sipati patanishwa, bila damu yake | I cannot find any solution, without his blood
Hukumu yanitisha, ila hiyo damu | Judgement would scare me, if it wasnt for that blood
Ndipo namlilia, aliye mwaga damu | thus I cry to him, the one who spilled his blood
Sasa initakase, damu ya mkombozi | That it may cleanse me, the blood of my savior

(Refrain)

Sipati tumaini, bila damu yake | There would be no hope, if it wasnt for his blood
wema wala amani, pia na usalama | Goodness or peace, and safety
Ndipo namtazama, huyu mwana kondoo | Thus I look to him, the lamb
Ili initakase, damu ya mkombozi | That it may cleanse me, the blood of my savior

(Refrain)
