በእድሜ ጠዋት ልጅ ሳለው አግኝተህ
ተንከባክበህ ያዝከኝ በሚያስገርም ትግስትህ
እንዳገለግልህ እድሉን አገኘሁኝ
ስላንተ እንድናገር በህዝብህ ፊት አቆምከኝ

እኔ ልታከብረኝ ክብርህን ትተሀል (፪x)
ከሰማይ ሰማያት ስለኔ ወርደሀል (፪x)
የማልጠቅም ስሆን ሰው አድርገኸኛል
ልጅህ አርገኸኛል
በኔ ፈንታ ሞተህ አስገኝተኸኛል (፪x)

ውድዬ አንተ ክበረህ ታይ
ኧረ አንተ ከብረህ ታይ
አንተ ነግሰህ ታይ በኔ ላይ
አንተ ደምቀህ ታይ

ከመሬት አንስተህ በከፍታ ስፍራ እግሮቼ ሲቆሙ
ጌትነትህ ይግነን ከፍ ከፍ ያድርጉህ ባንተ ይደመሙ
ዛሬ ቀን ከወጣ በህዝብህ ፊት ብቆም በኔ ላይ ብትሰራ
ሰዉ ሁሉ አንተን ይይህ በሀገር በምድሩ ስላንተ ይወራ

አንተ ተወራ ኧረ አንተ ተወራ
አንተ ከብረህ ታይ በእኔ ላይ አንተ ነግሰህ ታይ
ኧረ አንተ ተሰበክ አንተ ደምቀህ ታይ

እኔን ልታከብረኝ ክብርህን ትተሀል (፪×)
ከሰማይ ሰማያት ስለእኔ ወርደሀል (፪×)
የማልጠቅም ስሆን ሰው አድርገኸኛል
ልጅህ አርገኸኛል
በኔ ፈንታ ሞተህ አስገኝተኸኛል (x፪)

ውድዬ አንተ ክበር
ኧረ አንተ ንገሥ
አንተ ከብረህ ታይ በኔ ላይ
አንተ ደምቀህ ታይ

በበደሌ ምክንያት የተፈረደብኝ ነበርኩኝ የወደኩ
ጌታዬ አነሳኸኝ ሀጥያቴ ተሽሮ በደምህ ታጠብኩኝ
ባይገባኝ እንኳን ለኔ የሆንከው ነገር ፍቅርን ገልጦልኛል
መርገሜን ወስደህልኝ ውዴ በኔ ፈንታ በአብ ፊት ታይተሀል

አንተ ተወራ
ኧረ እንተ ተሰበክ
አንተ ከብረህ ታይ በኔ ላይ
አንተ ነግሰህ ታይ
አንተ ጎልተህ ታይ
አንተ በርተህ ታይ
አንተ ደምቀህ ታይ በኔ ላይ
አንተ ጎልተህ ታይ

In the morning of my youth, even while I was a child, You found me
Your grace took hold of me, with Your amazing love
I have been given the privilege to serve You
You have made me stand before Your people and to speak about You

You have given me Your honor, so that I may be glorified (x2)
You have come down to me from the heavens of heavens (x2)
You have made me a man of worth, even though I am not worthy
You have called me Your son
You have given me life by laying down Your own life (x2)

My love, how You have been glorified
Oh, how You have been glorified
You have reigned over me
You have shone

You have lifted me from the dust and set my feet in a spacious place
Your glory surrounds me, it lifts me up, and they marvel at You
Today, as I stand before Your people, and You move upon me
Everyone will glorify You, in this land and on earth, they will praise You

You are worthy, oh, You are worthy
You have been glorified over me, You have reigned
Oh, You are worthy, You have been praised, You have shone

You have given me Your honor, so that I may be glorified (x2)
You have come down to me from the heavens of heavens (x2)
You have made me a man of worth, even though I am not worthy
You have called me Your son
You have given me life by laying down Your own life (x2)

My love, You are glorious
Oh, You are the King
You have been glorified over me
You have shone

I was condemned because of my sins, my love
My Lord, You raised me up, my sins were forgiven, and I was cleansed by Your blood
You did not despise me, but You revealed Your love to me
You took my shame and in my place, You appeared before the Father

You are worthy
Oh, You are worthy
You have been glorified over me
You have reigned
You have been exalted
You have been blessed
You have shone over me
You have been exalted
