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

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)

(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
who have been waiting for so long for this change to take place.
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

Oh! You walked with us
Oh! You walked with us
We thank you
Thank you Jesus
Thank you our heavenly King
Thank you Jesus
Thank you

Says the Lord
Believe in Him
Believe in Him
Jesus is our Saviour
Believe in Him
