Prière
Saint esprit de Dieu demeure en moi
Demeure
Tu me consoles
Tu me connais
Tu me comprends
Tu rends témoignage à mon esprit que je suis enfant de Dieu
Saint esprit de Dieu tu habite en moi
Saint esprit de Dieu tu dirige mes pas
Saint esprit de Dieu tu me rend capable d′aimer, de pardonner
(Molimo mosantu na zambe
To sengui na yo Zala na kati na bana na yo)
Tu me rend capable d'aller au delà de mes forces
Tu me fortifie
Esprit de Dieu to sengi na yo sala,Zala,vanda
Pessa kimia,essengo na kati na bana na yo.
Amen

Ohhh ohhh ahhhhh

Come and flat this place with you′re glory
Let you're voice be here satisfy my soul
Let you're powerful and this place on the spirit
