Gebed
Wynand Strydom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Laat my in U skadu bly
Gee dat elke
Hart se vreugde en vrees
Eindelik nietig word vir my
Elke afdraai by die kerk
Elke keer ek verdwaal
Maak dit Heer die laaste mal
Elke dag is ‘n gedagte
Elke kamer net vir U
Elke hart se droom van rykdom en van roem
Net 'n skadu teen die muur
Wat ek is, is net genade
Wat ek het is net geleen
Eintlik smag ek na U waters van rus
Lei my Heer vanaand daarheen
Wat ek is, is net genade
Wat ek het is net geleen
Eintlik smag ek na U waters van rus
Lei my Heer vanaand daarheen
Eintlik smag ek na U waters van rus
Lei my Heer
Vanaand daarheen
The lyrics of Wynand Strydom's song Gebed speak to the singer's desire to stay in the shadow of God and for all their joys and fears to become insignificant. They express the singer's gratitude for God's guidance in their life, especially during times of confusion and doubt. The singer acknowledges that everything they are and have is a result of God's grace and that they long for the peace that can only be found in God's presence.
The lyrics also touch on the fleeting nature of worldly things, including wealth and fame. The singer recognizes that these things are ultimately meaningless and only a shadow cast against the wall compared to the light of God's love and presence. The repetition of the phrase "Wat ek is, is net genade/Wat ek het is net geleen" (What I am is only grace/What I have is only borrowed) reinforces the message of the transience of earthly possessions.
Overall, the lyrics of Gebed are a heartfelt prayer for peace, guidance, and a renewed sense of meaning in the singer's life through their connection with God.

Hierdie lied is gesing op my geliefde Danie se Vreugde-diens. God het hom finaal kom haal. Alle lyding is verby en nou is hy by waters van rus.
