[joykavutsi]

My daily worship song. It always brings me to tears when I think of God's wondrous love for me. I'm ever in awe.

[alankruza]

Indodana has to be one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of music ever composed. And while many choirs perform it well, I feel that South African choirs do it best. Thank you for such glorious music.

Our lives are far apart but this brings me closer to you guys every single time. It’s been 10 years since we created this magic... as a bass 2 we didn’t have much to in this... but we hit that “Tchem-tchem..” with all our might. The magic that brought me to tears was the alto part by Tshego, Andronica & co.... tears every single time! Love you guys so much ❤️

I would love to hear from some of those who were in this choir and what it is like now 9 years later to look back on this what the experience was like and has been considering the sensation you created, so many choirs now singing and recording this beautiful music.

If this is beauty on earth, then we can't even began to fathom the beauty of heaven. God always reminds us that He will never leave us or forsake us. Thank you LORD! I praise your NAME for this beautiful Music, your eternal WORD, and the precious gift of salvation. Here is a word for your and turn to our loving Father HE ALLOWS US TO! We are only human, not an ANGEL. Heaven awaits those who turn to God for help. HE allows us He allows us to!

I cry every time I watch this. I sang it on Good Friday with my church choir and it was beautiful.

[trevormorata]

This was our @Mzanzi Youth Choir, we would sing this song every chance we got; during rehearsals, on the bus, airports literally everywhere. It took us to places we had never ever been to. It evoked great emotions and gave us a sense of comfort and reassurance that all in the end will be okay... As I listen to it now, I am filled with nostalgia and pride. Great rendition by Tuks need I add that you have done justice to the song…
“oh baba Jehovah” indeed HE is the only one we can cry and call to at all times

I love this Choir's version compared to other universities'. I think the tempo is just right.

[MrTimBranston]

I wish Steve Biko could have seen and heard this. So beautiful it makes me cry.
