African Gospel Lyrics

(Sung in Xhosa – A Hymn)

Bawo, xa ndilahlekayo (Father, when I am lost)
Koluhambo lweli lizwe (In this earthly journey)
Hlal’ undifundis’ ukuthi (Always teach me to say)
“Mayenzeke intando yakho” (“Let Your will be done”)

Olu hambo lunengozi (This journey is dangerous)
Olu hambo luneentshaba (This journey is full enemies)
Zeziyhunywe nguwe zonke (If they are all connected by You)
“Mayenzek’ intando yakho” (“Thy will be done”)

Xenikwenzi undihluthe (When all is taken from me)
Into endiyithsndayo (All that I love)
Ndoba ndibuyis’ eyakho; (You shall restore Yours)
Mayenzek’intando yakho (Thy will be done)

Ndakuhliwa nasisifo (Even when I am ill)
Ahluthw’ onk’ amandla am (And all my strength is gone)
Ndakuzama, Baw’ ukuthi (Father I will still say)
“Mayenzek’intando yakho” (“Thy will be done”)

Yiguqul’ eyam intando (Change my will)
Yifanise nale yakho (To align with Your won)
Susa konke uukrokra (Remove all suspicion)
“Mayenzek’intando yakho” (“Thy will be done”)

Ukuze ndakunqatyelwa (Even when I am rejected)
Zinyembezi ukukhunga (My prayers are tearful)
Ndivule kweliphezulu (Even then I shall say)
“Mayenzek’intando yakho” (“Thy will be done”)
