lyrics

Oh Lord, I couldn’t hear no-one pray!

Ye ki widi ba samba ko!
O Nzambi ye ki widi ba samba ko, O Nzambi!
Ku banda mono kwami kaka,
ye ki widi ba samba ko!

Muna Ndimba
Bu ya fukama
Zitu Kiami
Bue Ni Ntanini

Langu a kiosi
Muna yodani
Nsabukidi
Kuna zulu

Alleluia
Mpasi sukidi
Mu kinfumu
Ye kia yesu

Translation:
Oh Lord, I couldn’t hear no-one pray!

Oh, way down yonder by myself,
I couldn’t hear nobody pray.

In the valley
On my knees
With my burden
I meet my Saviour

Chilly waters
In the Jordan
I have crossed
to heaven

Alleluia!
Trouble’s over
In the Kingdom
With my Jesus
