(Sung in Zulu)

Wabethelwa ngenxa yami (You were crucified because of me)
Es’phambanweni se hlazo (On that cross of shame)
Yingakho ngikudumisa (This is why I praise You)
Ngithi “uphakeme” (Saying “You are the Most High”) (Repeat)

Wena Jehova unesineke (You are a patient Lord)
Futhi uyangikhathalela (And You care for me)
Wena Jehova uyang’mangaza (Lord, You are amazing)
Awufani, awufani nab’abantu (You are not, You are not like man)
Ugcobis’ ikhanda lami ngamafutha (You anoint my head with oil)
Indebe yam’ iyagcigcima (My cup overflows)
Oh Haleluya useyingoma yam’ (Oh Hallelujah is still my song)
Yoku, yokudumisa (Of praise to You)

(Refrain)

Wena Jehova awungiyeki (Lord, You do not leave me)
Ngob’ uyakhathazeka (You worry for me)
Nginawe angisoze ngadangala (In You I will never be ashamed)
Phel’ awufunani awafunani (After all You are not similar to)
Nabantu (Similar to man)

Ugcobis’ ikhanda lami ngamafutha (You anoint my head with oil)
Indebe yam’ iyagcigcima (My cup overflows)
Oh Haleluya useyingoma yam’ (Oh Hallelujah is still my song)
Yokudumisa, oh Haleluya! (Of praise to You, oh Hallelujah!)
