One day Jonah said ain’t no way
Instead of going to Nineveh
He then went to Tarshish
Sometimes I lose my way, and do my will
The see myself losing power (Repeat)
Refrain:
Hold me Jesus!
Hold me tight, Loving arms
Before I lose my way (Repeat)
They told me you’ve never been
They tell me you ain’t there
They tell me You told me you’ve never been
But I tell them You’ve been there
And I tell them You are there
‘Cause You are Alpha and Omega (Repeat)
Refrain:
Umoya wam’ uyavuma uthi yebo (oh) Nkosi (My heart admits saying “Yes Lord”)
Yebo kuWena mnini mandla onke (Yes You are the Almighty)
Ngiyavuma, Ukusetjenziswa nguwe (I consent, to be used by You)
Uselibatshazw’ Igama Lakho (To proclaim Your name) (Repeat)
Injongo yam’ kukukhonza, wena wedwa (My purpose is to serve You alone)
Nokhuzi nikelela njengomhla tshelo (And to offer myself as a sacrifice)
Ukusetyenziswa ngokh’ uthandwa nguwe (Use me as it pleases You)
Baba ngiyavuma (Father I accept)
(Refrain)
