Lyrics
Cherubim ne Seraphim
Zona zi babaza mandla akho
Cherubim ne Seraphim
Zona
Zihlabelel'u hallelujah
Zona zibabaza mandla akho
Uyingcwele uphakeme
Unamandla angi nawo
Yebo uyingwele
Uyingcwele smakade
Uyingcwele nkosi ya makhosi
Akekho fananawe, akekho fanawe
Yeb' uyingwele
Uyingwele uphakeme
Unamandla anginawo
Unamandla anginawo
Yeb' unamndla anginawo
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Akekho o fananwe

Meaning & Inspiration
“Cherubim” is a direct song of adoration that describes heavenly beings praising God’s power. Its repeated affirmations of holiness, exaltation, and incomparable strength give the lyrics a clear worship focus. The mention of cherubim and seraphim, along with the recurring hallelujah, places earthly praise within a much larger picture of heavenly worship.
The song’s imagery most clearly recalls the prophetic vision of spiritual beings declaring God’s holiness. It also aligns with the heavenly worship described in Revelation, where praise continues day and night. The statement that no one compares with God adds a confession of his uniqueness to the celebration of his power. Through short, repeated lines, “Cherubim” fosters a congregational space for reverence, praise, and awe centered on Jesus.
