Zona zi babaza mandla akho
Cherubim ne Seraphim
Zona
Zihlabelel'u hallelujah
Zona zibabaza mandla akho
Uyingcwele uphakeme
Yebo uyingwele
Uyingcwele smakade
Uyingcwele nkosi ya makhosi
akekho fananawe, akekho fanawe
Yeb' uyingwele
Uyingwele uphakeme
Unamandla anginawo
Unamandla anginawo
Yeb' unamndla anginawo
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Akekho o fananwe
Jesus
