(Sung in Swahili)

Wamtumainio Bwana (Those who trust in the Lord)
Hawatatikiswa kamwe (Will never be shaken)
Ijapo upepo na dhoruba (Though the winds and storms should come)
Kwani wamejengwa juu yake (For they have built on Him) (Repeat)

Mwamba ni Yesu, Mwamba ni Yesu, O
(The Rock is Jesus, Oh the Rock is Jesus) (Repeat)

Bwana asipojenga (If the Lord does not build)
Wajengao wachoka bure (The builders build in vain)
Yeye asipolinda (If He does not watch over it)
Walindao wachoka bure (The watchmen tire for nothing) (Repeat)

Kwanini basi kutokumtegemea (Why then would you not depend)
Wala kumtumainia yeye? (And to trust in Him?)
Maana pekee, ana neno la mwisho (For only He has the final say)
Mwaishani mwa mwanadamu (In the life of man) (Repeat)

Mwamba ni Yesu, Mwamba ni Yesu, O
(The Rock is Jesus, Oh the Rock is Jesus) (Repeat)
