The song "Ngiyavuma" by Joyous Celebration (from Joyous Celebration 22: All For You) is a powerful Zulu gospel song of surrender and acceptance.


Lyrics including translation goes like this:


Refrain
Umoya wam' uyavuma uthi yebo, Nkosi
(My heart admits saying, "Yes Lord")
Yebo kuWena, Mnini mandla onke
(Yes to You, Almighty One)
Ngiyavuma, ukusetshenziswa nguwe
(I consent to be used by You)
Ukuze libalazwe igama Lakho
(To proclaim Your name)


Verse
Injongo yam' kukukhonza, Wena wedwa
(My purpose is to serve You alone)
Nokuzinikela njengomhlatshelo
(And to offer myself as a sacrifice)
Ukusetshenziswa ngoku uthanda nguwe
(Use me as it pleases You)
Baba, ngiyavuma
(Father, I accept)


Chorus
(Refrain)


Bridge
Ngiyavuma, ngiyavuma
(I accept, I accept)
Baba, ngiyavuma
(Father, I accept)
(Repeat)
