(Verse 1)
Di race no fi di swift, nor di battle fi di strong,
Bread no fi di wise, nor riches weh dem belong.
No favor fi di skillful — yet time an chance happen to all,
But everyting ina Yuh hand, Jesus, Yuh control it all.
(Chorus)
Di race no fi di swift,
Di battle no fi di strong!
Time an chance deh ina Yuh hand,
Yuh work all ting fi wi good.
Wi praise Yuh, Lord, wi trust Yuh, God,
Fa Yuh alone sovereign, Yuh always good!
(Verse 2)
Humble get lifted, mighty bring low,
Yuh open door weh only Yuh know.
Wi run, wi plan, but rest inna Yuh grace,
Yuh hold tomorrow, every time an place.
(Bridge)
Yuh di Author, Yuh di Finisher,
Wi time inna Yuh hand forever!
Wi bless Yuh name, Yuh worthy, Lamb!
(Final Chorus – big up)
Di race no fi di swift,
Di battle no fi di strong!
Time an chance deh ina Yuh hand,
Wi worship Yuh, fi Yuh soh good!
