The last stanza emphasizes the fact believers find perfect rest in the Lord after their demise and death relieves them of pain.
According to Mina, Laboso strongly believed in the words of the song up until the time she rested,
Jehovah, You
I trust
In You
Oh Lord
Jehovah, You
I trust
In You
I believe, I believe
You are the God of miracles
You are the God of wonders
You are the God all powerful
