Mungu kama milango ikiendelea kufungwaGod, if doors continue to close,
Nionyeshe ile ambayo tayari umeifunguashow me the ones You’ve already opened.
Mungu ikiwa nitavunjika tumia vipandeGod, if I should break, use the pieces,
Kutengeneza kitu kizurito create something beautiful.
Mungu nikipoteza matumaini yanguGod, if I lose my hope,
Nikumbushe kwamba mipango yakoremind me that Your plans,
Ni bora kuliko ndoto zanguare better than my dreams.
Mungu kama bado kuna mengi kwa ajili yanguGod, if there’s still much in store for me,
Usiniruhusu niyakosedon’t let me miss out on them.
