The grass is greener on the other side
That’s what I thought – before I took the ride
I burned my bridges, so I’d never look back
But if i had known
The life I was searching for
Was looking me right in the eye
If I had known,
The life i was searching for was already my own
Ire n be nile oo, ire ayo (goodness is at home)
Refrain:
Ire x3 (Goodness, Goodness, Goodness)
Ire ire ayo O npe mio (Goodness is calling out me)
Oni kin ma bo (It is telling me to come)
Oni kin ma bo nile (It is telling me to come back home) (Repeat)
The grass is greener where you water the ground
That’s what I found – when I took the ride
I realized the mountain I’ve been climbing
Is nothing but sand
I didn’t know I already had the answer
No I didn’t know
But if I had known
The life I was searching for
Was looking me right in the eye
If I had known
The life I was searching for
Was already my own
Refrain:
Yebo ngiyabona (Yes now I see)
Yebo ngiyakholwa (Yes now I believe)
Mkhulumsebenzi owenzayo (The great work you’re doing)
Kulendawo (In my heart)
Yebo ngiyabona (Yes, now I see)
Sengiyabona (And now I see)
Sonke lesis’khathi kanti bubhizi (All this time, you were busy)
Ngaphakathi kwami (Working in me)
Ngigcwele ukungazi (I was ignorant)
Ngomusa wakho (About your amazing grace)
Nesineke sakho (And your patience)
Njalo mengibheka (Whenever I look)
Izenzo zami namaphutha ami (My actions, and my mistakes)
Ngizizwa – ngathi ngikude nawe (Made me feel distant from You)
Kuthe, mekuphela, amandla ami (When, my strength was exhausted)
Wang’bonisa awakh’ agcwele (You then showed me your strength)
Ngaphakathi kwami (Inside of me)
(From the top)
Mkhulumsebenzi owenzayo (The great work you’re doing)
Kulendawo (In the place of my life and heart)
Yebo ngiyabona (Yes, now I see)
Moya ka Jehova (Spirit of the Lord)
Moya we nyaniso (Spirit of Truth)
Nant’ ibandla lakho (Here’s your assembly)
Yehla phezu kwalo (Come down to it)
Refrain:
Lihole, lilonde, liwele phesheya (Lead it, preserve it, help it to cross over)
Lihole, lilonde, lingene ekhaya (Lead it, preserve it, until home)
(From the Top)
Alinaw’ amandla ibandla (The assembly does not have the power)
Lakho okuma ngokwalo (To stand before You)
Bamb’ isandla sa bantwana bakho (Hold the hands of Your children)
Hol’ indlela yabo (Guide them on their way)
(Refrain)
Thina siye saba (We are afraid)
Uku hamba ungekho Baba (Of walking on our own, Father)
Thina siye saba Jehova (Lord we are afraid)
Uku nyathela ngaphandle kwakho (To take a step without You)
Woza Moya (Come Holy Spirit)x?
Moya (Spirit)x?
Refrain: Moya (Holy Spirit)
Thina siye saba Jehova, we Moya (Lord we are afraid, Spirit)
Ulithunzi lethu, Moya (You are our Shadow/Shelter, Spirit)
Siphephelo sethu, Moya (Our refuge, Spirit)
Moya (Holy Spirit)
Sizo qasha kuwe, Moya (Our help is You, Spirit)
Sizo qala kuwe, Moya (You are our beginning, Spirit)
Bamb’ isandla sethu, Moya (Hold our hand, Spirit)
