Baba Yetu
(The Lord’s Prayer)

Our Father, who art
in Heaven, Amen!
Our Father,
Hallowed be thy name
Give us this day our daily bread,
Forgive us of

Who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation, but
Deliver us from the evil one forever
Thy kingdom come, they will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven (Amen)

Asilazi
(Zulu)

(They Don’t Know)

This song is about an ordinary person who has to give up power to
guarantee his place in an uncertain tomorrow. The chorus is about those

We don’t know when our way will come
We are waiting with a full heart, for we do not
Know what we have done, that our day takes so long

Bridge Over Troubled Water

(Paul Simon)

When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I’m on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl, Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind

Muphulusi

(My Saviour)

His wounds are our pillar of strength for ever.

Ndikhokele (Xhosa Traditional) (Lead Me Lord)

For my salvation
Let it continue flowing
To cleanse my sins
Oh My Lord
You’re my help

I’ve come to the river Jordan
Wash away all my sins
Take me across
Be my helper
Oh my Lord
You’re my refuge

Voices on the Wind

Standing by the ocean watch it tear away the shore
Glide out upon the desert, the horizon is the door
And though your voice is shouting above the wind it can’t be heard
Drop all sense of reason, it’s there you’ll find your worth
And though you are srrounded, feeling quite alone
There’s a light to guide you home If you stand with your face to the wind off the water At the point of lands end where the ocean begins
Look to the memory of the ones gone before
The light and meaning of the voices on the wind
Searching for safe passage as you knock on every door
You still can hear the howling of the mongrel dogs of war
You call our for some comfort seeking shelter from the night
A raging rain’s upon you feeling tired of the fight
And though you are surrounded, feeling quite alone
There’s a light to guide you home If you stand
with your face to the wind off the water
At the point of lands end where the ocean begins
Look to the memory of the ones gone before
The light and meaning of the voices on the wind
Their words carry over water, and fall back down to earth
What follows is the silence as you contemplate their worth
A vision comes before you, but the meaning’s still unclear
Standing at the threshold as you watch it disappear
And though you are surrounded, feeling quite alone
There’s a light to guide you home If you stand with your face to the wind off the water At the point of lands end where the ocean begins
Look to the memory of the ones gone before
The light and meaning of the voices on the wind

Ngoma

(A Song)
(Zulu Traditional)

We travel across the countries
Singing our song
We travel across the countries
Singing our song All nations love our songs
This is the song
Yes this is the song
Oh! It is Jesus
Oh it is Jesus, Oh it is Jesus, It’s Jesus in my soul;
For I have touched the hem of His garment,
And His blood has made me whole.
I tried all that I could, Seemed like nothing did me any good.
Then I heard Jesus, He was passing by, And I decided to give Him a try.
There’s a light to guide you home Prayer for South Africa    
Lord in Heaven above
This day is on its last turn And the sun, Lord, the sun looks like he’s thirsty
For he stands closer and closer to the blue of the ocean

Oh Lord we pray for our country  In you I Trust
You are my rock Bring us close to you

Give faith Hope and Love Oh Lord
