Usakanganwe nyasha, usakangandwe ngoni idzi (Do not forget this grace, do not forget these mercies)

The people said, “Who should go first?”
The Lord God said, “Let Judah go first”

Judah, Judah, Judah, eh
Judah, Judah, Judah, eh
Judah, Judah, Judah, eh (Repeat)

I won’t have to fight
I won’t lift a sword
The battle formation
Is the mystery of praise (Repeat)

I go with my Judah
I will never look back
The battle is the Lord’s
The victory is mine (Repeat)

(From the Top)

I will stand still and know
The salvation of the Lord (Repeat)

I go with my Judah
I will never look back
The battle is the Lord’s
The victory is mine (Repeat)

Oh….

Judah, Judah, Judah, eh
Judah, Judah, Judah, eh
Judah, Judah, Judah, eh (Repeat)

The battle is the Lord, the victory is mine

Delay Lyrics by Theophilus Sunday

Leave a comment


Oh Potter, here is Your clay
Oh Master, behold Your servant (Repeat)

Refrain:
Your pattern may delay me
That the world will say I’m failing
I choose this delay
So I will look like You
Your process may slay me
That the world will say I’m wasting
I choose to be slain
So I will rise as You (Repeat)

Oh, even if You slay me
Or seem to delay me
All I know is that: this is You
And no matter what
I will follow You/ Help me follow You (Repeat)
