O lord, my God
How excellent is your name
On the earth, above the sky and beyond
None is like you
Little wonder, birds sing
Animals, rivers, plants applause you
The image maker
Fountain of love, peace and life
Thunder strikes as your name sound
Cloud runs, trees dance-spread beauty
Stars twinkle, sun prays, moon hides
Sky is delivered of its baby
Floods clap as your name echoed
Who am I not to adore you?
O lord, My God
You cared so much of me
A tin, discontent and discard
A pen, inked and thrown
A mosquito, chases off-the room
A marketer, lover of money
Debtor of termites and earth
An illiterate bush boy
Prodigal son of prodigal parents
Wao my King!
Unto you I throw my River of thanks
As you marvelously raised I unknown-child
To a renowned-man endowed with milk and honey
Crowned with Glory and Honour
Little lower than your Angels
And rest my feet on stress and failure
The Majesty, die shall I loving you
