Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sikhululiwe sathethelelwa, salungisiswa
Satholakala singenal′ icala
Uthando lwakhe nomusa wakhe wosisibekela
Senziwe sabangabantwana nguye
Watheng' impilo yami
Wangenza ngamuhle
Mina ngibong′ uJesu
Inhliziy' ithabile, umoya wam' uthule
Mina ngithand′ uJesu
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

Ngimi esiphambanweni ngibuka amanxeba

In the hands and feet, my sins drew you
Zinyaweni ezandleni, zono zam zakudweba

He was crucified and blood was shed because he was innocent
Wabethelwa lachitheka igazi kuba yena emsulwa

He died for us with the flesh of heaven
Ngonyama yezulu wasifela thina

His blood washed away all the sins of the Earth
Igazi lakhe lazihlamb' izono zonke zawo loMhlaba

Haw' haw' haw' were perfected
Haw' haw' haw' zapheleliswa

Igazi lakhe lazihlamb' izono zonke zawo loMhlaba

Haw' haw' haw' were perfected
Haw' haw' haw' zapheleliswa

He was crucified and he was innocent
Wabethelwa lachitheka igazi yena emsulwa

He died for us with the flesh of Heaven
Ngonyama yeZulu wasifela thina

His blood washed away all the sins of the Earth

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.
