1 Mwokozi wetu amepaa
mbinguni! Neno hili
linatufariji sasa
katika woga wote.
Kikiwa hickwa mbinguni,
hata viungo vyafika
alikokwenda yeye.

2 Mwokozi wetu
amepaa mbinguni,
mwenye nguvu,
mbinguni nitapokewa
nitengemane kweli.
Sababu hii ninataka
kufika pale, alipo
Mwokozi wangu Yesu.

3 Mwokozi wetu amepaa
mbingui! Nakuomba:
Bwanangu nisaidie
nikutegemee wee.
Nikufuate daima,
mwisho nifike kwako juu
mikiacha dunia.
