"English Translation"
I cry to the Lord
I bring my plea before him
I have no refuge
I have no keeper of my soul
But thou o Lord watch over me
You keep a close eye on me
You protect me
You will not let the devourer near me
You keep a close eye on me
You protect me
You will not let the devourer near me
I cry to the Lord
I bring my plea before him
I have no refuge
I have no keeper of my soul
But thou o Lord watch over me
You keep a close eye on me
You protect me
You will not let the devourer near me
You keep a close eye on me
You protect me
You will not let the devourer near me
You keep a close eye on me
You protect me
You will not let the devourer near me
Thank you Lord
Thank you God
Thank you God
I’ll lift up my eyes to the hills
From whence cometh my help
My help comes from the maker of the heavens and earth
Hee see
I’ll lift up my eyes to the hills
From whence cometh my help
All of my help cometh from the Lord
I’ll lift up my eyes to the hills
From whence cometh my help
My help comes from the maker of the heavens and earth
Hee see
I’ll lift up my eyes to the hills
From whence cometh my help
All of my help cometh from the Lord
Your hands are not shortened that you cannot save me
Neither are your ears deaf that you cannot hear
You keep a close eye on me
You protect me
You will not let the devourer near me
Your hands are not shortened that you cannot save me
Neither are your ears deaf that you cannot hear
You keep a close eye on me
You protect me
You will not let the devourer near me
You keep a close eye on me
You protect me
You will not let the devourer near me
You keep a close eye on me
You protect me
You will not let the devourer near me
You keep a close eye on me
You protect me
You will not let the devourer near me
You keep a close eye on me
You protect me
You will not let the devourer near me

Meaning & Inspiration
Wani Ku Me Ho is a prayerful confession of God’s watchful protection. In its English translation, the singer brings a plea before the Lord while admitting that no other refuge or guardian can preserve the soul. The recurring answer is steady: God watches closely, protects, and keeps the devourer away. Repetition gives that assurance the character of a sustained declaration rather than a passing response to fear.
Several lines draw directly from biblical language. The cry and plea recall Psalm 142, while the lifting of the eyes toward the hills closely follows Psalm 121 and identifies help as coming from the maker of heaven and earth. The declaration that God’s hand is not too short to save and his ear is not unable to hear echoes Isaiah 59:1. These references hold lament and confidence together. Trouble is acknowledged plainly, yet the song returns to gratitude because divine attention and saving power are presented as stronger than abandonment or danger.
