Shida juani natamani kivulini, (There is hardship in the sun, I desire the shade)
Nipate amani ooh.. (To receive peace)
Jua Mungu ni mti wenye kivuli kizuri (Know that God is a Tree with a pleasing shadow)
Ni mti wenye uzima na kweli (He is a tree with Life and Truth)
Wakati wa Mungu hufanya njia jangwani (God’s time makes way in the jungle)
Mito ya maji nyikani (Streams of water in the desert)
Wakati wake hauna upinzani (His Time does not have opposition)
Kumbe wakati wa Mungu (Truly God’s Time)
Huwafanya adui zangu kuwa rafiki zangu (Turns my enemies into my friends)
Kila kitu huwa raisi hata vilivyo shindikana (Everything becomes easy, even those that are futile)
