Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Niki angalia maishani mwangu ma vita ambao unanipiganiaka,
Sijuake mwanzo ao mwisho
Mina shitukaka tu ulisha shinda
Naku penda sana yesu wa uwezo
Lakini wewe mungu wa uruma unanijalia neema yako

Wewe ni muumbaji unaishi milele
Wewe ni maji matulivu jangwani

Wewe ni kimbilio letu wakati wa shida na msaada ulio karibu
Mina kwimbiya usifiwe eh.

Refre

Asifiwe bwana asifiwe milele na milele bwana asifiwe eh
Asifiwe asifiwe asifiwe Bwana asifiwe eh.

Wewe mungu wa majabu yahweh msingi ya maisha yangu.
Kimbilio langu ni wewe Bwana
Wewe mungu wa mapendo yahweh we ni akiba ya mema
Wewe ni mwanga wa maisha
