Halleluyah, glory glory to God
Everybody listen to me
Glory of God is coming
The presence of God is here
Hallelujah, Glory of God
Mountain, You're the mountain
Jesus you are my mountain
You are my friend

Jesus you are my mountain
You are my friend
Mlima wangu, wewe ni mlima wangu
Yesu ni mlima wangu, nguvu yangu uuh
Mlima wangu, wewe ni mlima wangu

Tena unajibu kwa moto ah Mungu wangu
Nikikuita unaitika, nikiomba unasikia
Huzimi wala huchoki, Mungu wangu
Wewe ni mfalme, Ebenezer mfalme
Wastahili mfalme mwamba wangu
Mountain, You're the mountain
Jesus you are my mountain
You are my friend
Mlima wangu, wewe ni mlima wangu
Yesu ni mlima wangu, nguvu yangu uuh
Mlima wangu, wewe ni mlima wangu

Meaning & Inspiration
The song uses the image of a mountain to confess the strength, nearness, and dependability found in Jesus. Moving between English and Swahili, it names him as friend, strength, king, Ebenezer, and rock. The repeated mountain refrain gives the lyric a steady center, while the declarations that God hears prayer and never grows weary describe confidence in his constant care.
The Swahili lines also recall the biblical account of God answering by fire on Mount Carmel. That image is joined to personal testimony: prayer receives an answer, divine presence is available, and God remains worthy of praise. References to sacrifice, holy ground, and fire create a setting of reverence without displacing the central confession of trust. The final sequence of repeated amens functions as agreement with everything already sung, closing the song in worshipful assurance that Christ remains a firm source of help and strength.
