Lyrics (Sung in Swahili)
Refrain:
Wacha waone, wacha waone (Let them see, let them see)
Wacha waone, vile wewe ni ngome, Yesu (Let them see the way you are a Fortress)
Niko hapa kukuwakilisha, Yesu wangu (I am here to represent You, my Jesus)
Nataka waone vile ulivyo ngome kwangu (I want them to see the way You are my safe haven)
Tumetoka mbali, umenitoa mbali (We have come from far, You have brought me from far)
Ninaomba waone ulivyo mkubwa (I pray that they may see Your might)
Ulikonitoa mimi najua (I know where You brought me from)
Ndio maana nasema, wewe ni mwamba (That is why I say, You are the Rock)
Sitarudi kule nilikotoka, niko na wewe (I will not return from whence I came, I am with you)
Kwangu ni mwamba (You are my Rock)
Uliko nivusha mimi najua (Where You brought me across, I know)
Ndio maana nasema, wewe ni mwamba (That is why I say, You are the Rock)
Kwa macho waone ulivyo Ili nao waelewe (Let them see with their eyes, that they may know)
Wewe ni ngome (That you are the fortress)
Kwa macho wakujue, nilie naye (With their eyes to know whom I am with)
Wao waseme kweli ni ngome (For them to confess that You are the fortress)
(Refrain)
Sibishani, sibishani na wabishi sugu (I do not argue with the stubborn)
Nisije nikasema; kakasirika Mungu (That I may speak out and anger God)
Sitetei sitetei, hali yangu ngumu (I do not defend my tough life)
Siunajua ukitenda, watatafutana huku (Because You know if You do it, they will look for You)
Eh Yahweh, sina wa kulinganisha na wewe (Oh Lord, I do not have anyone to compare to You)
Nashukuru shukuru shukuru Kyala (I am thankful to You)
Hata yale ulinitendea pasipo kuomba eh (Even to what you did for me without my prayer)
Ngome yangu ya siri: ni wewe Mungu (My secret fortress, is You, God)
Kuna vile unipigania nisiaibike eh (You fought for me, that I may be safe)
Utawale, utawale tu, utawale (Rule, rule over us)
Utawale, utawale tu, utawale (Rule over us)
(Refrain)
Katika vitu, katika watu (In all things, amongst all people)
Ukaniinua, nashukuru Yesu (You lifted me, thank You Jesus)
Katika vitu, katika watu (In all things, amongst all people)
Nikaheshimiwa, nashukuru Yesu (I have been respected, Thank You Jesus)
Repeat: Daida
Sasa najidaidai (Now I take pride)
Nafurahi rahi (I am joyful)
Asante (Thank you) (Repeat)
Nafurahi Leo (I am joyful today)
Najidai kwa Yesu (I take pride in Jesus)
Ninaendelea, ah (I continue)
Ninashangili ah (With my praise)
Kwa Baba, eh (To the Father)
Najidai, ah (I take pride)
Ninaringa kwa Baba (I take pride in the Father)
Nafurahi kwa Yahweh (I am joyful in Yahweh)
Repeat:
Jidhihirishe Mungu (Show yourself God)
Utukufu wako (In all Your Glory)
Ukitamalaki hapa, utatamalaki Bwana (Take authority Lord)
