You Are My Refuge and Strength

Ah, Bwana wangu... My strength, my shield.

When the shadows fall and the path is unclear,
I remember Your promise, You are always near.
My heart is heavy, but Your grace is light,
You guide my footsteps through the darkest night.

Ninakimbilia kwako, wewe ni kimbilio langu.
I find my peace in the shelter of Your name.

The world may shake, the mountains may crumble,
But my soul stands firm, humble yet strong.
I lift my eyes to the hills, where my help comes from.

You are my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Wewe ni nguvu yangu, wewe ni kimbilio langu.
My fortress high, my hope secure, forever faithful, forever pure.
I surrender all, I surrender all to You.

I recall the moments when I felt alone,
But Your loving kindness was clearly shown.
You wiped the tears, You calmed the raging sea,
You spoke the word, and set my spirit free.
Nimeona wema wako, nimeona upendo wako.
Your mercy follows me, morning, noon, and night.

You are my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Wewe ni nguvu yangu, wewe ni kimbilio langu.
My fortress high, my hope secure, forever faithful, forever pure.
I surrender all, I surrender all to You.

Though trials test me, and doubts try to creep in,
I anchor my soul in the victory You win.
Tunaamini, tunakutumaini, Mungu wetu.
You are the rock that never moves, the truth that always proves.
My intimate prayer is whispered in the quiet space,
To feel Your presence, to see Your face.
