(Sung in Kinyarwanda)

Hazab’ imisozi, itazakurwaho (There will be mountain that will not be moved)
Hazaba n’inzuzi, ntazashobora kwambuka (They will be waters I won’t be able to cross)
Si buri sengesho, rizabusizwa uko nsaba (It’s not every prayer I pray that will be answered)
Si buri ndirimbo, izanduhur’umutima (It is not every song that will comfort my heart)

Ndagufite mfit’umurengezi (As long as I have You Lord, I have a Savior)
Unyereke imigambi yawe, nkumenye (Show me your plans, so that I can know you well)

Refrain:
Niba nkugiriyeho umugisha, unyibuke (If I have found favor before you, remember me)
Ijisho ryawe nirimbeho, ibihe n’ibihe (May you never stop watching me,  from generation to generation)
Ineza yaw’ imperekeze kundunduro (Your goodness walk with to the very end)
Iri ni isengesho, nkumeney’umutima ( This is my prayer, I pour out my heart to you)
Icyo nsaba, tugumane, niba nkugiriyeho umugisha (This I ask, stay with me, if I have found favor before You) 

(From the Top)

(Refrain)

Wibuk’amagambo meza nsabira, abanyishimira (Remember kinds words I ask for those I rejoice in)
Kand’abanzi banjye nabo, ubahe kukumenya (And to my enemies, allow them to know you)
Ubagasanire k’umwuzuro, ubavure imvura (Bless them to the fullest, shower them with the shower of blessing)
Wenda bazahumuka, babone ku urukundo (Nay be they will open their eyes, and breath life)
Abo ndusanginye umurimo, ubahembure (Those who serve together, restore them)
Ubagasanire byuzuye, data uborohereze (Bless them to the fullest, Father lighten their burden)
Abo ndusanginye umurimo, ubahembure (Those who serve together, restore them)
Ubagasanire byuzuye, data uborohereze (Bless them to the fullest, Father lighten their burden) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Mu bibazo, ibisubizo (In challenges and remedies)
Mu bukene, mu bukire (In poverty or abundance)
Mu miruho, mu mahoro (In trouble and peace)
Yewe mukiza tugumane (O Savior, please stay with me)
Ahazamuka, ahamanuka (In mountains and valleys)
Mu nkuru z’uruncantege (During bad news)
Mu magambo y’ibinyoma (In slander and lies)
Yewe mukiza tugumane (O Savior, please stay with me) (Repeat)

(Sung in Kinyarwanda)

Uwiteka araturengeye (The Lord is our help)
Akuyeho ibirego by’Ibinyoma (He has removed false accusations against us)
Ukuboko kwe kuri, ku barembejwe (His hands are on those who are targeted)
N’imyambi y’Umubisha (By the Devil’s arrows)
Uhora adutoteza (Those who harass us)
Ngo tutazabona gakondo (So that we do not receive the inheritance)
Ashaka ko tuvuza Induru (Those who wish for us to wail)
Aho kuzavuz’ Impundu (Rather than rejoice)
Ariko siko, bizaba (But it shall not end there)
Ku Biringiye Uwiteka (For those who trust in the Lord)

Pre-Refrain
Imiyaga iraza ikambu-raho ijambo (The winds came, and did not destroy me)
No mu butayu sinjya-nicwa n’umwuma  (Even in the desert, I shall not die of thirsty) (Repeat)

Refrain:
Uwambereye umutaka, agahuma amas’ ibimpiga
(The one who covers me, and blinded my enemies)
Ineza ye yarampamagaye, inkiz’ igihunga
(His Mercy called me, and saved me from my fears)
Ineza ye yarampamagaye, imbwira ko Nzagerayo
(His Mercy called me, told me I shall get there)
Ineza ye yarampamagaye, imbwira ko Nzagerayo
(His Mercy called me, and told me I shall get there)

Ndi muhungiro, bukomeye (I am in a great refuge)
Umwanz’ atabasha, kuvogera (That the enemy cannot attack)
Amanyw’ ansimburiye, ya majoro (Days have replaced those nights for me)
Erega natakambiye, Umwami wanjye (I cried out, to my Lord)
Antabara, ntawe agishije nama (He heard and rescued me without consulting others)

Mpora ndirimba, ko yambereye Iriba ry’Umugisha (I sing, that He has become a Well of Blessings to me)
Naciye ukubiri, n’ibinyeganyereza ukwizera (I am separated from the shaking faith) (Repeat)

Bridge:
Uwo twakurikiye, ntawe yahemukiye (The one who followed betrayed no one)
Yadutegeye Amaboko na Yeriko arazihirika (He welcomed us, and broke the walls of Jericho) (Repeat)

(Languages: Kinyarwanda, English)

Nubwo muri iyi Isi, Ibibazo ari byinshi  (Though the world is full of problems)
Nifuza kubaho, mfite amahoro (I desire to live in peace)
But the devil doesn’t leave me alone, ever
The devil doesn’t leave me alone, oh never
Akora uko ashoboye kwose (He tries his best to take away my blessings)
To take away my blessings

Refrain:

Nzahagarara kumunara wanjye (I will stand at the watchtower)
Ntegereze icyo wambwiye (And await for what You promised me)
Nzahagarara kumunara wanjye (I will stand at the watchtower)
Ntegereze icyo wambwiye (And await for what You promised me)
Ngutegereze (I will wait for You)
Nzagutegereza Mana (God, I will wait for You)
I will wait for You, I will wait for You, I will wait for You
Ngutegereze (I will wait for You)  (Repeat)

Namenye ko niyo ucecetse (I have come to know that even when You are silent)
Bitavuze ko wandetse (It doesn’t mean that You’ve forsaken me)
Ntakizambuza gutabarwa (Nothing will prevent my rescue)
Ntakizakubuza guseruka (Nothing will stop You from my rescue)
I will wait for You, I will wait for You, I will wait for You
Ngutegereze (I will wait for You)
