Lyrics

[Intro — Gentle, Reverent, Building]

Oh-oh-oh, Pa Loko,  
Na le fi, na le mɔɔ.  
Sɔka ne bɔrɔ we,  
Ngɔɔ nene bond ne bɔrɔ.

Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Fo wuyɛn ne gbe ta.  
Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Fo ngɔɔ ne gba fɛn.



[Verse 1 — Refuge in the Storm]

Na fo, Pa Loko, sɛkɛ mi gbɔ,  
Ma gbe ka mi bɔ fɛn.  
Sɛŋa mi kɔnɛ na le bakɛ,  
Lɛ ɛngɛ bɔ li mi fɛn?

Fɛn ne yɛ vɛ “Kɔnɛ gbo,”  
Fo ye ka mi fɔn yɛm.  
Ma gbɔ na gbɔlɔ gbɛ,  
Kanu Loko ma gba.



[Verse 2 — Arrows in the Darkness]

Gɔkɔ le gbɔ rɔŋa yu,  
Fɛn ne gbɔŋ ye ma tɔŋ.  
Lɛ fɛn gbɔ bɔ tɔgɔ,  
A gbɔbɔŋ ye a gbaŋa.

Fɛn ma tɔŋ ne gbɔ,  
Na kɔkɔ na ye gbɔ kɔ,  
A bɔ mi yɛ, “Fɛn ye?”  
Fo gbɔ ye ma gba.



[Pre-Chorus — Faith Above Fear]

Lɛ gbɔŋa ye bɔkɔ,  
Fɛ tɔŋ bɔ yɛ bɔ,  
Fo na gbe yɛ na,  
Fo ma gba yɛm ne gbe.



[Chorus — Unshaken]

Fo na gba, fo na gba,  
Fo ngɔɔ ka fɛn!  
Na le fi, fo na gbe,  
Fo kɔkɔ yɛ bɔŋi.

Fo na gba, fo na gba,  
Fo ngɔɔ na gbɔ yɛ.  
Lɛ kɔkɔ gbɛ ma mbɔ,  
Fo ngɔɔ na gbe le ɔ.

Oh-oh-oh, fo wuyɛn ne gbe,  
Lɛ fɛn, lɛ we.  
Fo na gba, fo na gba,  
Fo Loko na gbe!



[Verse 3 — The Holy Throne]

Na le gbɔ fo kɔndɔ,  
Fo gbe na kɔndɔ.  
Fo ngɔɔ le fi ne gbe,  
Fo gbɔ tɔŋa fɔlɔ.

Fo gbɔ bɔ ma gbɛ,  
Fɛn gbɔŋ ne a gbɔ.  
Fo gbɔ ye bɔ kɔɣɔ,  
Fo na yɛ le gbɔ yɛ.



[Verse 4 — The Testing of Hearts]

Fɛn ne gbɔ fo,  
Fo gbɔ ye bɔ yɛ.  
Fo kɔ gbɔ fɛn ne gbɛ,  
Lɛ fɛn ne gbɔ yɛ.

Fɛn ne bɔ kɔ lɛ,  
Fo kɔ gbɔ na yɛ,  
Fo yɛ na lɛ gbɔ,  
Fo gbɔ na lɛ kɔ.



[Pre-Chorus — The Righteous Judge]

Fo gbɔ fɛn na gbɔ,  
Fo gbɔ ye na gbɔ.  
Fo gbɔ fɛn ne gbɔ,  
Fo na le wɔ yɛ.



[Chorus — Unshaken]

Fo na gba, fo na gba,  
Fo ngɔɔ ka fɛn!  
Na le fi, fo na gbe,  
Fo kɔkɔ yɛ bɔŋi.

Fo na gba, fo na gba,  
Fo ngɔɔ na gbɔ yɛ.  
Lɛ kɔkɔ gbɛ ma mbɔ,  
Fo ngɔɔ na gbe le ɔ.

Oh-oh-oh, fo wuyɛn ne gbe,  
Lɛ fɛn, lɛ we.  
Fo na gba, fo na gba,  
Fo Loko na gbe!



[Verse 5 — The Judgment of Evil]

Fɛn ne gbɔ fo na ye,  
Lɛ kɔkɔ fo ba ye.  
Fo gbɔ fɛn gbɔ,  
Fo mɔɔ ne gbɔ lɔŋ.

Fo gbɔ fɛn yɛ bɔ,  
Fo kɔ gbɛ na gbɔ.  
Fo gbɔ fɛn ne yɛ,  
Na fo na lɛ gbɔ.



[Verse 6 — The Promise of His Face]

Fo gbɔ na gbɔ yɛ,  
Fɛn ne gbɔ yɛ.  
Fo gbɔ fɛn ne gbɔ,  
Fo gbɔ na yɛ.

Fo gbɔ na gbɔ yɛ,  
Fo gbɔ na ye gbɔ.  
Lɛ gbɔ ye bɔ,  
Fo gbɔ na ye foɔ.

[Bridge — Prayer When Foundations Fall]

Baba wɔn, yɛn tɔ a,

Bɛ yɛn Yɛnkyɛ, yɛn Nnam.

Hwɛ yɛn mu, Yɛn Akwɛdɔm,

Bring us healing, make us whole.

Oh, yɛn mɛyɛ, Awurade, yɛn mɛyɛ bio,  
Mmerɛ nyinaa, anigye nyinaa.  
N’ase Yesu Kristi, yɛn anidasoɔ n’ani,  
Wo dɔ ne ɔdɔ a, bɛyɛ nyinaa.

  
[Final Chorus — Triumphant, Full Choir]

Nda mmerɛ, nda mmerɛ,  
Wo nan no renyɛ!?  
Sɛ ɔsoro mu, w’adi,  
Wo mfiase na yɛn nyinaa.

Nda mmerɛ, nda mmerɛ,  
Yɛn ɔnakyi a wɔda.  
Sɛ nsoromma nyinaa bɔ na,  
Wo da mu a, holy light.

Wo dɔ yɛ nokware, wo dɔ yɛ nokware,  
Yɛn akoma bɔ yɛn ho mmerɛpɔ.  
Nnipa a wɔyɛ nokware bɛhwɛ Wo ho,  
Na wɔbɛtena Wo anigye mu.

Nda mmerɛ, nda mmerɛ,  
Da bɛn wo nka!  
Firi akwan a ɛda so,  
Wo nokware bɛyɛ.

  
[Outro — Soft, Prayerful]

Sɛ nsɛm bɔ, wo w’akyi.  
Sɛ nsoromma bɔ, wo yɛ di.  
Sɛ akoma yɛ ntɔ, yɛfrɛ wo,  
O Baba wɔn, yɛn yɛ ho.

Firi Yesu Kristi, di nkɔ,  
W’ankasa, w’akwan, dɔ yɛ.

Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Wo nan no w’akɛm.  
Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Yɛn ɔnakyi, yɛn nokware Awurade.

Nda mmerɛ...  
Da bɛn nda mmerɛ...  
Amen.
