1. There’s no other place I can hide
’til the storm that rages subsides.
My voice calls to God from the flood,
and I’m saved because of his blood.
Kwake Yesu nasimama,
ndiye mwamba ni salama,
ndiye mwamba ni salama,
ndiye mwamba ni salama,
Here on Jesus Christ I will stand.
He’s the solid rock of my life.
He’s the solid rock of my life.
He’s the solid rock of my life.
2. It is not the work of my hands
that has washed away all my sins.
I’m redeemed, and all of my days
Jesus Christ will be my heart’s praise.
3. When my days on this earth are done,
and I stand at God’s holy throne,
my heart will not have any fear—
in Christ’s righteousness I am here.
