Wafik’empilweni zethu, Baba (Father You came into our lives)

Welul’isandla sakho phezu kwethu (Stretch out Your hand upon us)
Sizamile Moy’ongcwele (We have tried, Holy Spirit) (Repeat)

Sizamile ngaweth’ amandla (We’ve tried in our own strength)
Sahluleka sajik’ endleleni (We have failed and turned away from the path)
(Moy’ongcwele) S’thumela Wena  (Holy Spirit, we call upon You)
S’thumela Wena wenze (We call on You to act)
(Nkos’ephilayo) S’bheke Wena akekh’omunye (Everlasting God we look to You, there’s none like You) (Repeat)

Baba! Moy’Ongcwele (Father, Holy Spirit)
