(Sung in Zulu)

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)
Siyanqoba, sinqoba ngaye (We win, we win through Him) (Repeat)

Yayinguye onebango, (He is the one with the wound)
Elinobunzulu ephangweni. (Deep on his side/ribs)
Laphalal’ igazi saxolelw’izonzo (He bled and we’re forgiven)
Siyanqoba, sinqoba ngaye (We win, we win through Him) (Repeat)

(Chorus)

Sixolelwa siphiliswa (We are all forgiven)
Ngezo ntlungu, ntlungu zakhe (Through pain, his pain)
Siyahlanzwa ezonweni zethu (Our sins are cleansed)
Siyanqoba, sinqoba ngaye (We win, we win through Him) (Repeat)

Siyanqoba, sinqoba ngaye (We win, we win through Him)
Siyanqoba, sinqoba ngaye (We win, we win through Him)
Umkhululi wethu, umsindisi wethu (Our deliverer, our savior)
Siyanqoba, sinqoba ngaye (We win, we win through Him) (Repeat)

(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)

(Sung in Swahili) – A Variation of the Lord’s Prayer from Mathew 6:9-13

Verse 1:
Baba yetu yetu uliye mbinguni, Yetu yetu Amina
(Our father in heaven, our Amen)
Baba yetu yetu uliye – jina lako litukuzwe
(Our father hallowed be your name)
Baba yetu yetu uliye mbinguni, Yetu yetu Amina
(Our father in heaven, our Amen)
Baba yetu yetu uliye – jina lako litukuzwe
(Our father hallowed be your name)

Verse 2:
Utupe leo chakula chetu,
(Give us this day our daily bread)
Tunachohitaji utusamehe makosa yetu Eh!
(That we need – forgive us our sins Eh!)
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe wale walitukusea
(As we forgive those who sin against us)
Usitutie katika majaribu bakini
(Lead us not into temptation but)
utuokoe na yule muovu we milele
(Deliver us from the evil one forever)

(Verse 1)

Ufalme wako ufike Utakalo
(Your kingdom come and your will)
lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni. Amina
(be done on earth as in heaven. Amen)
