[Main Worship Chorus]


Sithi bayede kuwe Somandla
(We hail and worship You, Almighty God)
Asimbonanga onjengawe
(We have never seen anyone like You)
Angimbon' omunye olingana nawe
(I have seen no one else equal to You)
Enhliziyweni yami, uyabusa Nkosi yami
(In my heart, You reign, my Lord)
Lingcwel' igama lakho
(Holy is Your name)
Alikho elinye elinjengalo
(There is no other name like it)


(Repeat)




[Spoken Exhortation & Spontaneous Praise]


(Spoken / Prayed passionately by Sindi Ntombela):



Ngingufakazi, alikho elinye elinjengalo!
(I am a witness, there is no other name like it!)


Ungadlali ngabantu, ungabheki kubaprofethi bamanga—uJehova ungumalusi wami!
(Do not be swayed by people or false prophets—the Lord is my shepherd!)


Igama likaJesu lingumbhoshongo onamandla; abalungile babalekela kulo bayalondeka.
(The name of Jesus is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and they are safe.)


Yilona lodwa igama elinikeziwe phansi kwezulu ukuthi abantu basindiswe ngalo.
(It is the only name given under heaven by which people may be saved.)


Alikho elinye elinamandla okuvula amasango avaliwe.
(There is no other name with power to open locked gates.)
Alikho elikwazi uku-reverse izinto ezikhulunywe ngathi.
(None can reverse the negative things spoken against us like this name.)


Silibiza livula iminyango.
(When we call upon it, it opens doors.)
Njalo masibiza leligama, lenza ongekho abe khona.
(Whenever we call this name, it calls things that were not into being.)


Kwabasindiswayo linamandla, kwababhubhayo liwubuwula—kodwa kithi linamandla!
(To those who are perishing it may seem like foolishness, but to us being saved, it is the power of God!)


Amandla esiphambanweni, amandla!
(Power in the cross, power!)





[Reprise & Outro]


Lingcwel' igama lakho
(Holy is Your name)
Alikho elinye elinjengalo
(There is no other name like it)

Meaning & Inspiration

Lingcwele Igama Lakho centers on reverence for God and the holiness of Jesus’ name. The recurring declaration that no one is equal to the Lord presents worship as both confession and surrender. God’s rule in the heart gives the chorus a personal focus, while the repeated praise keeps attention on divine uniqueness rather than human strength.

The spoken section draws closely on biblical language about the Lord as shepherd, the name of the Lord as a strong tower, and salvation found in Jesus. It also contrasts the cross as foolishness to some with its saving power for those being saved. These echoes support the song’s confidence that Christ offers refuge, deliverance, and access to God. The reprise returns to the central truth: the holy name of Jesus stands without equal and deserves worship.
