Oh my God I cry (in the daytime)
And you answered nigh(?)(and in the nighttime)
I’m not silent, and don’t find rest
But you are Holy, you who dwell in the Holy place
Where the praises of the Lord reigns (Repeat)

Oh give thanks unto the Lord
For his mercy endureth forever
To Him who does great wonders
For his mercy endureth forever

Let all people praise His name
For his mercy endureth forever
To Him who gives life abundant
For his mercy endureth forever

Holy, Holy, is the Lord
His mercy endureth forever
Let the heavens and earth proclaim
That his mercy endureth forever

Ahh.. Ahh.. Ahh..
For his mercy endureth forever (Repeat)

(Sung in Zulu)

Ungekabunjwa bendikwazi (Before you were formed, I knew you)
Ndaz’ inani lenwele zakho (I know the number of your hair)
Akukho lizwi elwimini lwakho (There’s no word you speak)
Endingalaziyo ndinguThixo (That I the Lord do not know)
Nob’ izilingo zifik’ endleleni (When the trials come your way)
Nob’ubomi bukudlikidla (The world is tearing you apart)
Ungaxhali ungakhali (Do not panic and cry)
Ngoba ndimi nawe (I’m here with you)
Hey’ ndihamba nawe (Yes, I’ll walk with you)

Chorus:
Thula wazi, ndinguThixo (Be still and know, that I am the Lord)
(repeat)

Val’ umlomo undithembe (Be quiet and trust me)
Nik’ idolo ukutya kwalo (Kneel down and hold on to me)
Bambelela apha kum (I will never leave you)
Soze ndikulahle ndikuyekel’ (I will never forsake you)
nob’izihlobo zikushiya (When loved ones leave you)
Nob’ izihlobo zihlekisa ngawe (When friends make fun of you)
Dont you worry, ungaxhali (Don’t you worry, do not panic)
Ngoba ndimi nawe (as I’m here with you)
Hey’ hamba nam, thula (Come with me, come)

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Endleleni yonke ndihamba nawe (I’ll walk with you the whole way)
Ndihlezi nawe, ngimi nawe (Sit with you, stand with you)
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

Shh!

(Chorus)

Chorus:
Ikhon’indawo Eyethu sonke (There is a place for all of us)
Isegazini likaJesu (It’s found in the blood of Jesus)
Umkhululi wethu, umsindisi wethu (Our deliverer, our savior)

(Sung in Xhosa)

Verse 1:
Abantu k’dala bend’valel’indlela
(It’s been a long time, people blocking my way)
Besisthi andiyonto, futhi ndiyaboniswa
(Saying I’m nothing and that it’s obvious)
Kodw’i ingom’engaphakathi kwam ibalis’ibali
(But the song in me tells a different story)
Nokuwa nokuvuka komntu nolonwab’olungapheliyo
(Of a fallen person, And a rising person and joy)

Chorus:
Nd’yathandaz’uyive lengoma (I’ll pray your hear this song)
Izovuselel’umphefumlo wakho (It will restore your soul)
Ik’nik’ithemb’elitsha (and give you hope)

Verse 2:
Kudal’usithi nyawo zam Ndikhokhele
(How long have I told my feet to carry me)
undise kwantliziyo ndise (To a place where only my heart knows.)
apho kungenjena (Were it not like this)
Kudal’usithi nyawo zam ndise Ndikhokhele
(How long have I told my feet to carry me)
undise kwantliziyo ndise (To a place where my heart knows.)
apho kungenjena (Were it not like this)
umphefumlo wam wahlukene (My spirit is broken)

(Chorus)
