Kudala ngibona izinto ezimbi kulomhlaba
Kudala ngithwele kanzima kuwona lomhlaba
Hey ngithi kudala ngibona izinto ezimbi kulomhlaba
Kudala ngithwele kanzima kuwona lomhlaba
Kudala ngithwele kanzima kuwona lomhlaba
Tsela moya o hala lela
Messiah oh Messiah
O tsela moya o hala lela
Hohadi Messiah
Tsela moya o hala lela
Messiah oh Messiah
O tsela moya o hala lela
Our father who arts in heven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on Earth
As it is in haven
Give give us this day
And forgive us our tresspasses
As wee forgive those
Hohadi Messiah
Tsela moya o hala lela
Messiah oh Messiah
O tsela moya o hala lela
Hohadi Messiah
