Lebo Sekgobela - Lion of Judah Lyrics

“Lion of Judah” by Lebo Sekgobela is a short, multilingual worship song that begins in English with “Lion of Judah, we worship You” and “you are Holy.” The refrain names Christ with the title found in Revelation, and the repeated lines make the song easy for a congregation to join.

A Shona section follows, with translations given in the lyrics: “I’ve found rest in You,” “in You, I have nothing to fear,” “under Your wings,” and “I am protected.” These lines present the Lion as a place of shelter as well as a figure of power. A Tswana section then repeats the title, adds “Tau ya Letsoe la Judah,” and ends with the prayer “We are praying” and the call “Let Him roar.”

The imagery is close to Revelation 5:5, which calls Christ the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and to Psalm 91:4, which speaks of refuge under God’s wings. The song combines worship, rest and prayer across languages.
