(Sung in Kinyarwanda)

Bwo intambara zazag’ umusubirizo (When wars break against me over and over)
Nabonaga kwambuka ari ihurizo  (And I am besieged on all sides)
Isoko y’indirimbo yari yarakamye (When the source of my songs had run dry)
Umurab’ ukambwira ko wantereranye (And the wave whisper that you’ve forsaken me)

Erega nubwo ntakubonaga waruhari (You were there even though I couldn’t see you)
Ahubwo nuko nari naguy’ isari (But it is because I had perished)
Mana waraje maz’ unkora ku mboni (God you came and opened my eyes)
Urandamir’ unkura mu usoni (Rescued me took away my shame)

Refrain:
Uri umwami utajya ubura uko ugira (You are the Lord who never fails)
Ni wowe ujya umpanagura amarira (You are the one who wipes my tears)
Uhor’ umpisha aho umwanzi atagera (You keep me away from the enemy’s reach)
Abakwiringiye bos’ urabimana (You protect those that trust in You)

Refrain 2:
Uri Yhaweh naya mashimwe n’ ayawe (You are Yahweh and all these praises are yours)
Unkuye mu mwijima unyomoy’ inguma (You took me out of the dark and healed my wounds)
Yesu we umbambiye ihema (Oh Jesus, you set sacred tent for me) (Repeat)

Ubu sinkiri imbata y’ubwoba (I’m no longer a slave to fear)
Umwami anshyize mu mababa (The Lord put me in His tent)
Uburinzi bwe burushije imbaraga (His protection is more powerful)
Inkubi y’ibindega (Than my failures)

Urongeye unyeretse imbabazi (You have showed me Your mercy again)
Unyeretse n’ubushobozi (You have shown me Your might)
Umbohoye ingoyi nta kiguzi (You broke my chains without a price)
Unkuye kuri uyu musozi (And taken me out of this mountain)

(Refrain + Refrain2)

Unkuye mu mwijima unyomoye inguma (You took me out of the dark and healed my wounds)
Yesu we umbambiye ihema (Oh Jesus, you set the tabernacle for me) (Repeat)
