Satholakala singenal′ icala
Uthando lwakhe nomusa wakhe wosisibekela
Senziwe sabangabantwana nguye
Watheng' impilo yami
Wangenza ngamuhle
Mina ngibong′ uJesu
Inhliziy' ithabile, umoya wam' uthule
Ngimi esiphambanweni ngibuka amanxeba
Ezinyaweni ezandleni
Zono zam zakudweba
Wabethelwa lachitheka igazi kuba yena
Emsulwa
Ngonyama yezulu wasifela thina
Igazi lakhe lazihlamb′ izono zonke zawo lo
Mhlaba
Haw' haw′ haw' zapheleliswa

What a beautiful sound. There is something innocent captured in this 2015 JC family. It seems like a different form of unity resides in this ensemble. Those musicians are fabulous together, as well! Each players seems to complement each other rather than overshadowing one another.
