Umbhedesho
Joyous Celebration Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Siyakudumisa Thixo
Siyakuvuma ukuba unguYehova
Umhlaba wonke ubhedesha wena
uYise ongunaphakade

Zonke ingelosi zimemeza kuwe
Kwanezulu nawo onke amandla akulo
IKherobime neSerafime

Zimana zimemeza kuwe

Uyingcwele, uyingcwele uyingcwele
Yehova Thixo wemikhosi
Izulu lizele kwanomhlaba
Bubukhulu nobugcwalisa bakho

Amen, Ameni, Amen, Ameni
Amen, Ameni, Amen, Ameni
Amen, Ameni, Amen, Ameni

Nkosi ndithembe wena, mandingaze ndidaniswe
Nkosi ndithembe wena, mandingaze ndidaniswe

Nkosi ndithembe wena, mandingaze ndidaniswe
Nkosi ndithembe wena, mandingaze ndidaniswe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Joyous Celebration's song Umbhedesho express praise and acknowledgement to God as the eternal father who is omnipotent and the one who sustains every living being on earth. The chorus of the song, "Siyakudumisa Thixo, Siyakuvuma ukuba unguYehova, Umhlaba wonke ubhedesha wena, uYise ongunaphakade," reinforces the supremacy of God as the creator and sustainer of the entire world. The second verse alludes to the fact that all angels in heaven, including the Cherubim and Seraphim, are also in absolute awe of God's power.

The third verse of the song, "Uyingcwele, uyingcwele uyingcwele, Yehova Thixo wemikhosi, Izulu lizele kwanomhlaba, Bubukhulu nobugcwalisa bakho," continues to propagate the majesty and glory of God as the king of kings who reigns supreme over all things in heaven and on earth. The final part of the song, "Nkosi ndithembe wena, mandingaze ndidaniswe," acknowledges that followers of God should have faith in him and trust his divine plan for their lives.
