Ebenezeri wa re o (This is our Ebenezer)
Nibi te ran wa lowo de (Thus far You have helped us)
Ka’ma jo o k’ayo k’a f’ogo f’olu (Let us dance, rejoice and glorify the Lord)

Ninu irinkerido mi laiye (As I walk this path of life)
Iwo lo bami se (It is You who helps me)
Alubarika to wa mi ri (Success chased after me)
Emi ko, ise Olorun ni (Not by my doing, but the Lord)
Ewu gbogbo ti mo la koja (It is not by my power)
Ki ma i s’agbara mi (That I have survived many evils)
Atinuda-ti mo ni loje kin dupe ore (My meditation leads me to give thanks)
