(Sung in Zulu)
[Same song by Sfiso]

Phakama! Nkosi yeZulu (Arise! King of the heavens)
Phakama! Nkosi yeZulu (Arise! King of the heavens)
Uwengamele umhlaba wonke (And reign over all)
Uwengamele wonkumhlaba (And reign over the whole earth)

Phakama! Nkosi yeZulu (Arise! King of the heavens)
Phakama! Nkosi yeZulu (Arise! King of the heavens)
Uwengamele impilo yami (And reign over my life)
Uwengamele wonkumhlaba (And reign over the whole earth)

Oh my God I cry (in the daytime)
And you answered nigh(?)(and in the nighttime)
I’m not silent, and don’t find rest
But you are Holy, you who dwell in the Holy place
Where the praises of the Lord reigns (Repeat)

Oh give thanks unto the Lord
For his mercy endureth forever
To Him who does great wonders
For his mercy endureth forever

Let all people praise His name
For his mercy endureth forever
To Him who gives life abundant
For his mercy endureth forever

Holy, Holy, is the Lord
His mercy endureth forever
Let the heavens and earth proclaim
That his mercy endureth forever

Ahh.. Ahh.. Ahh..
For his mercy endureth forever (Repeat)
