Liyasebenza leli zwi (It works, this Word)
Kholwa nje kuphela (Just believe)
Vuma nangenhliziyo, liyasebenza (Agree in your heart, it works)
Liphila ngaphakathi kwethu (It lives within us)
Liyasebenza leli zwi (It works, this Word)
Sibonile, sibonile mandulo (We have seen it, we have seen it from of old)
Ti-li-le… Eyi! Eyi!…

[Spontaneous Worship / Spoken Praise]
Eyi!
Oh, Bayede kuwe, Nkosi enamandla onke!
(All hail to You, Almighty King!)
Umninimandla wonke lo

Wawukhona umhlaba ungakabikho
(You were already there before the world existed)
Sithi nje: Eyi!
(All we can say is: Eyi!)
Siyazi izwi Lakho lithotshelwa yizo zonk’ izimo
(We know that Your Word is obeyed by every situation)
Bayede! Ey, Uyizulu!
(Hail! O Heavenly One!)
Eyi!
Awu, bheka kuye phezulu
(Look up to Him on high)
Bakhany’ ubuso babo
(Their faces are radiant)
Abasoze basaba
(They will never be ashamed or afraid)
[Outro]
Thatha le nto (Receive this)
Thath’ uJesu (Receive Jesus)
Awu, nami Nkosi! (Oh, count me in, Lord!)
