Song of the Week: Nkosi Silkelel' iAfrika (God Bless Africa)

I'm in my third week teaching in Zambia. Here's Nkosi Silkelel' iAfrika (God Bless Africa) from an old Vineyard project called "Live from South Africa"--



Lyrics--

Nkosi Silkelel'i Afrika (God Bless us Africa)
Maluphakanyisw'uphondo Iwayo (May her glory be lifted high)
Yizwa Imithandazo Yethu (Hear our petitions)
Nkosi Sikelela, thina lusapo iwayo (God Bless us, Us Your children)

Woza Moya (Come Spirit)
Woza Moya Woza (Come Spirit Come)
Woza Moya (Come Spirit)
Woza Moya Woza (Come Spirit Come)
Woza Moya Oyingewele (Come Spirit Holy)
Nkosi Sikelela (God bless us)

Morena Boloka Setjhaba Sa Heso (Lord we ask you to protect our nation)
Ofedise Dintwa Le Matshwenyeho (Intervene and end all conflicts)

O Se Boloke (Protect us)
O Se Boloke Morena (Protect us Lord)
Setjhaba Sa Heso (Protect our nation)
Setjhaba Sa South Afrika (Protect South Africa)

Nkosi Silkelel'i Afrika (God Bless us Africa)
Maluphakanyisw'uphondo Iwayo (May her glory be lifted high)
Yizwa Imithandazo Yethu (Hear our petitions)
Nkosi Sikelela, Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika (God Bless us, God bless us Africa)
