Verse 1

Ka aroha ahau
I love

Ki a koe
You

E Ihowa
God

Tōku kaha
My strength

Chorus

Ko Ihowa tōku kāmaka
God is my rock

Tōku pā tōku Atua
My fortress my God

Ko te pāpā ko te wairua
The Father the Spirit

Me te tama te kaiwhakaora
And the Son the giver of life

Verse 2

Ka karanga ahau
I call

Ki a Ihowa
Upon the Lord

E tika nei
Who is worthy

Kia whakamoemititia
To be praised

Bridge

Ko tāua
You and I

Ake ake ake ake
Forever and ever

Ko tāua
You and I

Kua tuhi I te toto
It has been written in the blood
