Verse 1
Aduŋa nɛ, Lokwa ayɔ̀r kɛ̀dɛ̀,
Kɔ̀lɔ̀ ayɔ̀r kɛ̀dɛ̀ nɛ̀ɛ gɔ̀lɔ̀ŋ,
Bɛ̀ɛ ayɔ̀r kɛ̀dɛ̀ nɛ̀ɛ gɔ̀lɔ̀ŋ,
Mɛ̀ɛ ayɔ̀r kɛ̀dɛ̀ nɛ̀ɛ kpɛ̀ɛ.
Kɔ̀lɔ̀ŋ ayɔ̀r tɛ̀ɛ, kpɛ̀ɛ ayɔ̀r tɛ̀ɛ,
Kɛ̀dɛ̀ kɔ̀ɔ̀ ayɔ̀r nɛ̀ɛ dɔ̀ɔ̀.

Kɛ̀dɛ̀ kɔ̀ɔ̀ ayɔ̀r bɔ̀ɔ̀ kpɛ̀ɛ,
Ayɔ̀r bɛ̀ɛ kɛ̀dɛ̀ nɛ̀ɛ zɔ̀ɔ̀ŋ.
Kɔ̀ɔ̀ nɛ̀ɛ ayɔ̀r kɔ̀ɔ̀ gɔ̀lɔ̀ŋ,
Ayɔ̀r kɛ̀dɛ̀ nɛ̀ɛ zɛ̀ɛ yɔ̀ɔ̀ŋ.
Verse 1
In the beginning, spoke the Word,
And light burst forth from endless night,
The mountains rose at what was heard,
The seas obeyed His sovereign might.
Each star He placed, each flower He grew,
His fingerprints in morning dew.
Verse 2
From eagle's flight to ocean's roar,
The Lord God's glory fills the earth,
His wisdom crafted shore to shore,
And breathed into all things their worth.
In every sunset's painted sky,
We see the Artist's love draw nigh.
