Chorus

Adom o! Oye n’adom
Adom yi na ama me tsease
Odze agye m’ taataa
Kyere m’ kwan pa
Ma me mfa kwan trenee no mu


Translation

It is by His Grace
That I am alive
That He has led me
And showed me the paths of righteousness
So that I will walk on those paths

Verse 1
Emi nkye mense, enkye me mfata o!
Ewuradze de no do, odo a onyi ewie
(Adeda nfikyire o, Nyame dze m’aba fie)
W’ama m’ asetena pa, na nkwa onyi ewie
Ewuradze mo som wo, na ma tow wo ho ndwom


I did not deserve it
But the Lord, out of His unending love
(An outcast, the Lord has brought me home)
He has given me a good and everlasting life
So I will serve You and sing about You

Verse 2
Owu mu anaa, ohaw anaa
Enyitan anaa, amandzi mu anaa
Calvary oguamba n’, odze n’adom adom hen koraa
Amansan nyinaa, hom mboa ma me yi Ewuradze ayew


In death or in grief
Whether despised or troubled
The Lamb of Calvary showers us with Grace
May all creation join me to praise Him

The Grace is precious
O what precious Grace

And is still my rearguard
