English Lyrics, South Africa Benjamin Dube, Renew My Strength 1 Comment
Refrain:
Renew my strength
Renew my life (Repeat)
Repeat: Refrain
I’m down on my knees
I’m weak, You are strong Oh Lord
Would you renew? Please Jesus
Would You in the morning
Down on my knees, Jesus
Renew! Would You renew Jesus
They that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They shall mount up with wings like an eagle
They shall run and not be weary
They shall walk and not faint
Teach me to wait (Repeat)
(Refrain)
Renew!

English Lyrics, Nigeria Nathaniel Bassey, Take the Stage 1 Comment
Take the stage, Lord
And have Your way
I’m just a vessel, and nothing more
And when You are done
Please take the Glory
I’m satisfied, just to see You glorified (Repeat)
Oh dear Lord, I ask you to take Your place
Sing through me, speak through me
Blow through me, and preach through me
That your Name be glorified
That the Name of Jesus – alone be lifted high
Amen
Amen
Please take the Glory
I’m satisfied, just to see You glorified
That’s all I want
I’m satisfied, to see Jesus glorified

English Lyrics, Igbo, Nigeria Mercy Chinwo, Testimony 7 Comments
(Languages: English, Igbo)
I’ve been through this process
And I know it’s not easy
‘Cause I’m a testimony
Ive got some things to tell You
Keep on believing,
Keep on pushing forward
You are the best, yes, among the rest
You will be the next, don’t you ever give up
‘Cause I am
Refrain:
I am a testimony, Ebezina, Ebezina (Do not cry)
I am a testimony, Ebezina, Ebezina (Do not cry)
Cry no more, You’ve got wings to fly
The mountain high, through the storm and through the rain
Through the stormy weather, when your eyes are heavy
Cheta na Chukwu nonso (Remember that God is close)
Today is a new day, just like a birthday
Never have a sad day, no its my delay
Just keep on moving and
Keep the fire burning and ’cause I see a new dawn
‘Cause I see a new dawn
You are the best, yes, among the rest
You will be the next, don’t you ever give up
‘Cause I am
(Refrain)
Look beside you, what do you see?
Don’t you know that You are a champion?
After all you’ve been through
You will become more stronger
(Refrain)
Don’t you cry no more, wipe your tears
Ebezina (Do not cry)

English Lyrics, Hymn, Zimbabwe Firm Faith, Whispering Hope 1 Comment
(Original Hymn Lyrics by Septimus Winner, 1868)
Soft as the voice of an angel
Breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers her comforting word
Wait till the darkness is over
Wait till the tempest is done
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow
After the shower is gone
Refrain:
Whispering, whispering Hope
Oh, how welcome, welcome thy voice
Making, making my heart Lord
In its sorrow, sorrow rejoice (Repeat)
If in the dusk of the twilight
Dim be the region afar
Will not the deepening darkness
Brighten the glimmering star?
Then when the night is upon us
Why should the heart sink away?
When the dark midnight is over
Watch for the breaking of day
(Refrain)
Making, making my heart Lord
In its sorrow, sorrow rejoice (Repeat)
