Ngizwi lizwi lakhe likhuluma
Sengiyakhola futhi ngiyazi
Mpilo yami ayisoze Ifane
Ngizwil' isandla Sakhe sing'thinta
Ngizwi lizwi lakhe likhuluma
Sengiyakhola futhi ngiyazi
Mpilo yami ayisoze Ifane
I heard his words speak to me
Now I believe and I declare
My life will never be the same again
I felt his hand upon me
I heard his words speak to me
Now I believe and I declare
My life will never be the same again
Now I believe and I declare
My life will never be the same again
Now I believe and I declare
My life will never be the same again
Now I believe and I declare
My life will never be the same again
Sengiyakholwa futhi ngiyasho
Impilo yami ayisoze ifane
Sengiyavuma futhi ngiyasho
Impilo yami ayisoze ifane
Sengiyakholwa futhi ngiyasho
Impilo yami ayisoze ifane
After today, my life will never
Will never be the same again
After today, my life will never
Will never be the same again
After today, my life will never
Will never be the same again
After today, my life will never
Will never be the same again
After today, my life will never
Will never be the same again
After today, my life will never
Will never be the same again
After today, my life will never
Will never be the same again
After today, my life will never
Will never be the same again
After today, my life will never
Will never be the same again
After today, my life will never
Will never be the same again
Hlengiwe Mhlaba’s powerful song “After Today” is a declaration of faith, a testimony of how the singer’s life has been transformed by an encounter with God. The lyrics describe how the singer felt God’s hand upon her, heard his words speak to her, and as a result, believes and declares that her life will never be the same again. The repetition of the phrase “After today, my life will never be the same again” reinforces the singer’s newfound conviction and highlights the transformative power of a spiritual experience.
The lyrics also suggest that prior to this experience, the singer’s life may have been lacking direction or purpose, and that she may have struggled with doubts or challenges. By stating “My life will never be the same again,” she suggests that the encounter with God has given her a new sense of purpose and direction, and has allowed her to overcome whatever difficulties she may have faced. The use of the phrase “I felt his hand upon me” and “I heard his words speak to me” also suggests a personal, intimate encounter with God, rather than a distant, impersonal spiritual experience.
Overall, Hlengiwe Mhlaba’s “After Today” is a powerful expression of faith, a declaration of the transformative power of an encounter with God, and an affirmation of the singer’s newfound sense of purpose and direction.

We listened to this song about 3 yrs ago with my husband. Things were rough but we kept the faith. We believed our situation will never stay the same. Indeed our faithful God turned our situation again. Listening to this song today in our beautiful home. God you are amazing!
