Lyrics
Modimo, Modimo, Modimo wa re sheba
Ha re tsamaya re rapela Modimo wa sheba
Modimo, Modimo, Modimo wa re bona
Modimo, Modimo, Modimo o lefika
Ha re tsamaya re rapela Modimo wa re bona.
Modimo moyemdi leratong le sa feleng
Jeso o shwetse mathateng a lefase
Hare tsamaya re rapela Modimo wa re bona
Modimo, Modimo o na le rona
Re tsamaya re rapela (modimo)

Meaning & Inspiration
"Modimo" centers on God’s attentive care as people walk, pray, and face the troubles of life. The repeated confession that God sees and watches gives the song a steady, trusting focus. Its image of God as a rock also suggests security and stability when circumstances feel uncertain.
The lyrics also pair divine presence with lasting love and the sacrifice of Jesus. That combination makes prayer more than a response to fear; it becomes an expression of confidence in God’s character. The recurring lines give the song a communal feel, reinforcing the simple conviction that God is alert, near, and dependable. Its restrained message does not depend on elaborate detail. Instead, repetition turns the central truths into a sustained declaration of reliance, devotion, and gratitude toward God.
