Nakushukuru Mungu we, ewe Mungu we
(I thank you God, You God)
Nakushukuru Mungu we, nimeona mkono wako

Kama si wewe Mungu we, singefika hapa nilipo
(If it wasn’t for You, I would not have been where I am)

Nilipopita kati ya uvuli wa bonde la mauti na kuzimu
(When I pass through the valley of the shadow of death)
Uliniona Yesu (Jesus You watch over me)
Nilipopigwa na maadui, wakanishambulia
(When my enemies target me and attack me)
Uliniona Yesu (Jesus You watch over me)
Shetani aliposimama, ili anifanye mawindo
(When Satan stands so that he hunts me)
Ulinificha Yesu (Jesus You hide me)
Marafiki wangu walitabiri maanguko yangu
(When my friends prophesy my failures)
Umeniinua Yesu (You have lifted me, Jesus)
