Ukwaz’ ukuthi nginomhlobo (In knowing that I have a friend)

Jesu ungumhlobo wangempela (Jesus, truly You are my Friend)
Lapho abantu bengijikela (When people turn against me)
Izivunguvungu zizinthlangothi zonke (And trouble overwhelms me)
Lapho izitha zibhodla okwengenyama (When my enemies roar like the lion)
Ziqond’ ukungigwinya (threatening to swallow me)

Uyohlal’ unami njalo nje (That you’ll be with me forever)(Repeat)
(Refrain)
Uphi umhlobo onjengaye? (Which other friend is like Him?)
Akajiki uhlal’ ekhona (He is always present)
Uthembekile unothando lwaphakade (I trust His everlasting love)
Thando lwakhe lujulile lubanzi (His love that is deep and wide)
Uthembisile Jesu (Jesus, You promised)
Uyohlal’ unami njalo nje (That you’ll be with me forever) (Repeat)
(Refrain)
Uyohlal’ unami njalo nje (That you’ll be with me forever)(Repeat)
Chorus:
(Hallelujah) Oh Lord I’ll thank you Lord x2
Oh Lord I’ll thank you Lord, all the days of my life
Oh Yes, I thank you Lord x2
Oh Lord I thank you Lord, for the days of my life
Can’t say goodbye; forever in my heart
Can’t imagine my life without You
Can’t say goodbye/bye-bye; you’re always in my mind
Can’t imagine my life without You
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death:
I am not alone: I see a light, it shines bright
I am going to see my King; I’m going to see my God
Hallelujah, I am going to see my King
Refrain:
Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we are going to see the King
No more dying there, we are going to see the King
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we are going to see the King
Hallelujah Hallelujah …
(Psalm 25)
Show me your ways Oh Lord, teach me your paths
Guide me in your truth, and teach me
For you are my God and Savior, and my hope is in You
To you Oh Lord, I lift my soul; In you I trust Oh my God
Hallelujah, I am going to see my King
(Refrain)
Remember Oh Lord, your great mercy and Love –
For they are from of old
Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways
According to your Love, remember me: for you are good Oh Lord
Hear my cry for Mercy Oh Lord, as I call for your help
(Refrain)
(Psalm 29)
The voice of the Lord is powerful,
The voice of the Lord is majestic
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars
The Lord sits enthroned over the flood
the Lord is enthroned as King forever
The Lord gives strength to his people
The Lord blesses his people with peace
In you Oh Lord, I take my refuge
I see a light, it shines bright
I am going to see my King; I’m going to see my God
Hallelujah, I am going to see my King
