Here’s a fun song from church this past Sunday. You’ll notice the song carries one beat throughout, but it turns out it’s four songs in one (my understanding is that this was unplanned). I love the spontaneity of the worship here and how the congregation just “goes with the flow”—it’s really freeing to experience, even for we Americans who still struggle to follow along on some songs.

Special thanks to Nkele, Pinky and Brenda for helping with translation.

U lulamile Jehova loyi
(This God is good)
Ahe! U lulamile
(Ahe! He is so good)
Kasi nwina umi kume kwihi?
(Where did He get you?)
Ahi kume la, ahi veka la, ahi yisa le
(He found us here, He put us here, He took us there)

Siliwelile i Jordana
(We crossed the Jordan)
Siliwelile (4x)
(We crossed)
Siliwelile singaphesheya
(To the other side)

Ithuba loku thandaza
(We have the time of prayer)
Sinalo (2x)
(We have)
Ithuba loku thandaza
(We have the time of prayer)

Siliwelile i Jordana
(We crossed the Jordan)
Siliwelile (4x)
(We crossed)
Siliwelile singaphesheya
(To the other side)

Khutsi khutsi rena
(In the Lord we are having)
Ra ikhutsa
(Rest)
Amen
Alleluia Amen (3x)

Jesus! Jesus!

Siliwelile i Jordana
(We crossed the Jordan)
Siliwelile (4x)
(We crossed)
Siliwelile singaphesheya
(To the other side)
