Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

mengapa harus ku alami
hidup yang sengsara ini
hanyalah padamu Tuhan
doa slalu ku panjatkan
semuanya bahgianya
tempat perlindungan juga
Tuhan yang mahakuasa
tabahkanlah hati hamba

c/o:
ku tahu diriku ini
tak pernah ingat berbakti
Tuhan yang mahakuasa
maafkanlah diri hamba
satu saat kanku temui
masa ku untuk berbakti

Tuhan yang mahakuasa
besar dari segalanya
