Joyous Celebration Unkulunkulu Uyangithanda (Live) Lyrics:
Kule minyak' engaka ngidlal' ukuhluphek' emhlabeni
Kule minyak' engaka ngidlal' usiz' emhlabeni
Kant' uNkulunkulu uphambi kwami
Uphambi kwami uyangihlolel' emadlelwen' aluhlaza
Kule minyak' engaka ngidlal' ukuhluphek' emhlabeni
Kule minyak' engaka ngidlal' usiz' emhlabeni
Kant' uJehova uphambi kwami, uphambi kwami
Uyanginqobela njal' izitha zami

Ngazula ngazula ngazula ngamihla le ngifuna lenhlanhl' engaka
Kant' ukhon' ongithandayo, kant' ukhon' ongithandayo
(Hhaybo!)
Mina ngithi ngazula ngazula ngazula ngamihla le ngifuna lenhlanhl' engaka
Kant' ukhon' ongithandayo, kant' ukhon' ongithandayo
(Hhey!)

Hhey uyang'thanda loJesu (uNkulunkulu uyangithanda)
Yen' uyang'thanda (bengingazi uyangithanda nami)
Ung'thanda noma nginjena (uyang'thanda) oh mina nginjena
(Kant' ubathanda bonke abantu)
UNkulunkulu uyangithanda (uNkulunkulu uyangithanda)
Yen' uyang'thanda (bengingazi uyangithanda nami)
Ung'thanda noma nginjena (uyang'thanda) oh mina nginjena
(Kant' ubathanda bonke abantu)

Kant' uJehova mkhulu kangaka kimi
Uyaz' uJehova ubonis' ubukhulu bakhe kimi
Ngiyobonga ngithini na?
Ngiyobonga ngithini na kuye?
Kant' uJehova mkhulu kangaka kimi
Uyaz' uJehova ubonis' ubukhulu bakhe kimi
Ngiyobonga ngithini na?
Ngiyobonga ngithini na kuye?

Wangikhiph' eGipite ubaba! (Wangikhiph' eGipite ezweni lobugqila)

Ngiza Kuwe Guqabadela kaSomnganisi Chibi elinomqwazi phezulu
Ubizwa yimi uK'lashi lo
Induna yeyinsizwa ngoba phela nalapha ayikho
Insizwa eshintsha amagiya ingabonisananga nami
Umvelase wase bathenjini abasenga inkomo izele
Qhudeni ka guda ongawadli amathibane
Angadla amathibane ngabe indlala iwile

Mnisi wemvula ilanga libalele, Ngoza kaGabadela
Ngibonga Kuwe Jehovah ngoku ngihlanganisa nanangu
Umlisa okhanya amasi esiswini ophela eduze ngobude
Awubheke phela namhlanje ubizwa yimi Somnini nanini Simakade wezulu
Wena owakhipha abantwana bakwa Israel
Esigodini sasegibhithi wababeka ezweni lesethembiso

Umukhulu ke Jehovah wena owabuyisa umfana uLazaru eselusa
Amadada wavuka wazidlela amapholisi umfana
Ngisho Kuwe Kristu Jesu dwala laphakade
Wundlu likaNkulunkulu elisusa izoni zonke
Wuwe wedwa umthokozisi wezinhliziyo zethu, umenzi wezimangaliso

Wena owathatha amanzi wawaphendula wawenza
Iwayini bahlanganisa izandla bakhuza uAmeni bonke abantu
Mana njalo Nginguye uNginguye, mlilo oqothulayo, nsimbi edla ezinye
Ngabe ngiyaqhubeka manje uSimakade akaqedwa
Nazi ney'nsizwa nentokazi la eceleni ithi ifun' uk'shay' ingoma
Asambe!

UNkulunkulu uyangithanda (uNkulunkulu uyangithanda)
Yen' uyang'thanda (bengingazi uyangithanda nami)
Ung'thanda noma nginjena (uyang'thanda) oh mina nginjena
(Kant' ubathanda bonke abantu)
US'makade uyangithanda (uNkulunkulu uyangithanda)
Yen' uyang'thanda (bengingazi uyangithanda nami)
Yen' ung'thanda noma nginjena (uyang'thanda) oh mina nginjena
(Kant' ubathanda bonke abantu)

Noma ngine zono zami mina ezinje (uNkulunkulu uyangithanda)
Noma nginamacala mina wami enje (bengingazi uyangithanda nami)
UNkulunkulu useduze kwami njalo (uyang'thanda) oh njalo
(Kant' ubathanda bonke abantu)
O noma ngine zono zami mina ezinje (uNkulunkulu uyangithanda)
Noma nginamacala mina wami nginje (bengingazi uyangithanda nami)
UNkulunkulu eseduze kwami njalo (uyang'thanda) aw'njalo
(Kant' ubathanda bonke abantu)
