Lyrics
Bengingaz' ukuthi ung'thanda kangaka
Oh! Waze wanikela ngempilo yakho
Inani legaz' owang'thenga ngalo liphakeme
Ang'soze ngakubonga ngokwanele
Ngiyabonga ngothando lwakho onginike lona Msindisi wami
Ngab' angikho, ngab' angilutho ngaphandle kwakho
Impilo yam' ayilutho ngaphandle komusa wakho,
Wang' thwalela wedw' umqhele wameva
Oh! Hawu lobo buhlungu owabuzwa
Ang' soze ngaz' ukuthi wabonani kimina
Kodw' engikwaziyo ukuthi ung' sindisile
Oh! Oh! Woh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Woh! Oh!
Ngab' angikho, ngab' angilutho ngaphandle kwakho

Meaning & Inspiration
“Bengingazi” is a song of grateful wonder at Christ’s sacrificial love. The singer confesses amazement that the Savior loved so fully that he gave his life, paying a price beyond measure. That confession moves naturally into thanksgiving: life has meaning because of divine mercy, and salvation is received as a gift rather than an achievement. Images of the crown of thorns and suffering keep the focus on the cost of redemption.
The lyrics also express humility before grace. The singer cannot explain what Christ saw in an undeserving person, yet rests in the certainty of having been saved. This closely echoes the New Testament teaching that Christ gave himself in love and that redemption comes through his blood. The repeated admission of being nothing without the Savior turns the song into both testimony and worship, while the closing vocal refrain leaves its gratitude open-ended, as though thanks can never fully match the gift described.
