God of all creation, of the 40 million

Kenyans,

Leading us through this election, in

search of our next leaders,

We voted with devotion, endured

queues in thousands of meters,

Our destiny is in Your hands.

Our land and nation you’ve blessed,

diversity of resources untold,

Foreign investors’ interests expressed,

help us create wealth tenfold,

Rich potential in counties possessed,

transition to new government foretold,

Our destiny is in Your hands.

Like shield our justice doth defend,

both poor and rich alike,

Our differences in courts do we mend,

upholding each respectfully in spite,

When shadow of doubt descends, on

high we’ve set our eyes to the divine,

Our destiny is in Your hands.

Dwelling in unity is our desire, in spite

of our political choices,

Praying for incoming leaders to umpire,

national integration in one voice,

May our democratic process transpire,

as a mature and peaceful exercise,

Our destiny is in Your hands.

May lasting peace abound, in country

and with our neighbors,

Hot spots our forces doth surround, we

salute their dedication in labor,

Scenes of death, the nation they

astound, our fallen heroes do we honor,

Our destiny is in Your hands.

From anxieties of change we all arise,

strong and truthful in our hearts,

In earnest endeavor our service

symbolize, our march to the destiny we

chart,

Our national values we deeply internalize,

from the port of despair we depart,

Our destiny is in Your hands

In one accord we unite, bound by

common destiny we stand,

The passion to build our nation ignites,

restore the glory of our motherland,

Fruit of our labor equally we bite,

God’s blessings inspires our hands.

Our destiny is in Your hands.
