This Luo version of Higher Ground (Lord Lift Me Up) hymn is one of the most widely sang worship songs during Luo church service. I grew up listening to this song at family gatherings, funerals, and services.
It is a total acceptance of God's power over our lives. Apart from being a prayer that most of us share at this trying time, it was also a great joy for me to arrange it.
May the hymn not only entertain you but also bring you closer to God through all your storms and peace. May He always meet your needs according to His will.
The orchestra parts were created by my gifted friend Joe Mutoria and additional strings played the Redfourth Contemporary Orchestra.

Lyrics
Areto kawuotho e yo
Madhi malo ndalo duto;
Kalamo pile mondo Ruoth
Oting'a malo moloyo
Chorus:
Ruoth, ting'a malo mondo achung',
Kayie wecheni duto
Med ting'a malo moloyo,
Abed kapakoi pile.
Chunya ok gomb siko e piny
Ka ma chich gi luoro nitie;
To adwaro loyogi te,
E malami ting'a malo.
Adwaro loyo gik me piny
Ma Satani diwuondago;
Loch mwalogo piny en yie,
Genona ni kuomi pile.
Adwaro bedo motegno
Nyaka ane mor mae polo
E momiyo pod alami
Routh ting’a malo moloyo
