Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Nitayainua macho yangu nitazame milima 

Msaada wangu utatoka wapi? 

Msaada wangu ni katika wewe 

Usiyeacha nipotee chini msalaba wako 


Chorus:

Hata hili litapita 

Kama yale yalivyopita 

Chini ya msalaba wako 


Chini ya uvuli wako najisitiri 

Mbali na hata shida za maisha 

Nifunike na pendo lako 

Chini ya msalaba wako 


Translation Swahili to English

I look up to the mountains,

Where does my help come from?

My help is in You,

You who never let me go astray,

Beneath Your cross..


Chorus:

Even this will pass,

As the other ones passed,

Beneath Your cross,                  

There's help..


Bridge:

Beneath the shadow of Your wings,

I cover up myself,

Away from suffering and troubles of life,

Cover me by Your love,

Beneath Your cross
