(Oh dear Lord, strengthen me now)
(Hear my prayer, oh God, do not ignore my plea)
Amen, yoh
Ooh Muchima wami shipa
Kosa, mabo byapano patanda byashupa me kukosa
My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught
Oh, that I had the wings of a dove, I would fly away and rest
But I stretch my hands to the heavens
Ooh, Muchima wami shipa kwinjizhyanganyane
Mambo Lesa obe wayuka byoupitamo
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, oh my soul
Lesa obe-e amba, Lombanga-atu-u, I know everything you face
Nangwa uyande byepi, nangwa uswulwe bwepi
Nangwa ukanwe bwepi, nangwa ba kukana byepi!
He will make your paths straight, do not fear the storm
Hold my hand, precious Lord, lead me step by step
Amiwa nayuka byonse, yes He knows it all
Ooh, Muchima wami shipa kwinjizhyanganyane
Mambo Lesa obe wayuka byoupitamo
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, oh my soul
Lesa obe-e amba, Lombanga-atu-u, I know everything you face
(Nachi!)
Lead me on, slow, step by step
My paths are straight in You
Amen, hallelujah
