You are my strength when I am weak
You are my voice when I cant’s speak
You are the son that I will sing
(echoes…imba, wimbo, imba wimbo)
You are the love that never leaves

I was blind but now I see (see, see, see)
I was lost and now am found
You, you, you
Give me water from the well
It never, never, never run dry
I was blind but now I see (see, see, see)
I was lost and now am found
