(Ayy, yoh)
Lord, I call on You today
Wherever I go, whatever I do
I pray for Your hand to lead me
Mwelesa, protect me.
Every morning I wake up to start the engine
Eyes on the horizon, praying for divine protection
Trucking cross the borders, through the heat and the rain
Lord, keep my focus steady, take away the pain
I’m a trucker, moving heavy, moving through the night
In this life of travel, keep me always in Your light
Oh, Lord keep me safe on the road
Every mile I drive, carry this heavy load
Mwelesa mulepala, watch over me now
Guide my steering wheel, fulfill my vow
Protect all the drivers, keep us from harm
Safety in Your presence, kept in Your arm
I think about my family, waiting back at home
They pray for my return whenever I must roam
It’s a tough life, but I know You are the guide
With You as my navigator, I have nothing to hide
No boza, no secrets, just a heart that is true
Chukwu, in every lane, I am looking to You
Oh, Lord keep me safe on the road
Every mile I drive, carry this heavy load
Mwelesa mulepala, watch over me now
Guide my steering wheel, fulfill my vow
Protect all the drivers, keep us from harm
Safety in Your presence, kept in Your arm
From Lusaka to the Copper Belt, You are there
In the silence of the cabin, hear my humble prayer
I am nothing without You, hold my spirit tight
Turn the darkness of the highway into morning light
(Ayy, see the glory!)
Oh, Lord keep me safe on the road
Every mile I drive, carry this heavy load
Mwelesa mulepala, watch over me now
Guide my steering wheel, fulfill my vow
Protect all the drivers, keep us from harm
Safety in Your presence, kept in Your arm
Protect my family, keep them safe and sound
Everywhere I travel, Your mercy is found
Natotela, Lord, for the journey today
Keep me safe, keep me safe, all the way
(Yoh, safe arrival, on God!)
