Hearing it of the first time today Holy Saturday 2024 ( 30-3-2024) and I've searched for various choirs singing it and it's an absolute thrill. God bless South African voices.

Ndikhokhele Bawo, zundi kokhele (Lead me oh Father [Lead me])
Ndikhokhele mmeli wami (Lead me my savior)
Ezintsizini, Zalomhlaba Bawo (in all the sorrows of this world Father)
(Bawo, Bawo, Bawo) ( Father, Father, Father)
Bawo ndiyabonga (Father I thank you)
Ngoba wena usandigcinile (for you still protect/keep me)
(Repeat)

Thaluthele thuze kwami (You calm all my fears) x2
(Bawo, bawo, bawo) ( Father, Father, Father)
Bawo ndiyabonga (Father I thank you)
Ngoba wena usandigcinile (for you still protect me)

Mmeli wami bawo uthaluthele thuze kwami (Father, Savior, you calm my fears)
Bawo ndiyabonga (Father I thank you)
Ngoba wena usandigcinile (for you still protect me)

It's 4:51 AM GMT on 24th September 2024, I've not yawned one but since last night listening to various choir groups singing the same song. ... NDIKHOKHELE BAWO. ...I discovered this song some 3 months ago and I can't get over it. It's my defining experience of what it means too be uplifted. ... it takes me beyond the realms of paradise, sleep and death and back.

LAST WISH: let this song be played for me when I go home.

FATHER I THANK YOU THAT YOU STILL PROTECT ME IN THIS CRUEL WORLD. LEAD ME HOME WHEN I MUST GO. HOME.

[zinhletshefu]

Please lead /Guide me Father, lead me my Creator in the hardships of this world. You are always next to me, I Thank you Father for keeping me. My Defender, my Father... Father you always stand by side, I thank you for keeping me. It sounds so much deeper in our native tongue but that's more or less the English interpretation
