Kulo mhlaba kugcwel' inhlupheko
[The Earth is filled with troubles]
Abantu balahlekiswa ngamanga
[People are mislead by lies]
Banqwenel' ukuphila kangcono
[They want to live a better life]
Futhi bafun' ukubon' ubuso bakho
[They also want to be in your presence]
Kodwa abakwaz' ukunyamezela
[But they do not want to bare the brunt]

Yiva imithandazo yethu, Nkosi yezulu
[Hear our prayers, Lord of heaven]
Siyakhala kuwe, siyalila [We cry unto You, weeping]
Sithi mababuyele enkambeni yakho
[Let them come to Your camp site]
Mababuyele Kuwe [Let them come to You]
Siyabancenga, siguqa ngedolo siyanqula
[We plead with them, we kneel and pray]

Babuyele othandweni lwakho [Let them run back to Your love]
Babuyele ensindisweni yakho [Come back to Your redemption]
Babuyele endleleni yakho [Back to Your path]

Oh yini Bawo, heyi heyi [Oh Lord]
Siyakuthemba wen' uthembekile, [We trust in You]
Sibambelel' entsindisweni Yakho [We hold on to Your protection]
Sithandaza [We pray]
