Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ke tla ke se na tokelo
O se nkgane: Ke ea timela
Jeso konyana ea Modimo
Jeso konyana ea Modimo
Jeso konyana ea Modimo
Jeso, Jeso
Jeso konyana ea Modimo
U ntsebile ha u mpitsa;
U mpatlile, ua mpheella,
Jesu, Konyana Modimo
Morena Jeso
Konyana ya Modimo
Re thushe tseleng ya hao
Re tsamaye ka halalelo
Re thuse Morena, Re thuse Morena
Ho fihlela o etla
Jesu uyimvana kaThixo
Jesu uyimvana kaThixo
Jesu, Jesu
Jesu uyimvana kaThixo

I woke up with this song on my heart. I do not understand some of the lyrics, but for some reason it's giving me so much joy. I last listened to it years ago. To God be the glory π
