South Africa: Zulu

SOUNDS OF GLOBAL WORSHIP:
SOUTH AFRICA, JOHANNESBURG, ZULU

Winds of freedom are blowing in South Africa in the very places that experienced the worst violence during Apartheid.

In this small church on the outskirts of Johannesburg one will not find an array of instruments and equipment to enhance their worship like is the custom in the western church. All that is brought is their voice, body, and the deep well within their heart.

We learn much from them. God is not interested in the abundance of things we bring to worship, rather the depth of our heart that is offered in worship. A significant link seems to be found between suffering and worship.

This song is sung in the Zulu language, one of the seven black South African languages. The title, lyric and translation follow.

AKEKHO OFANA NAYE (There Is None Like Him)

HALELUYA
Hallelujah
AKEKHO OFAN NAYE
There is none like Him

AKEKHO OFAN NAYE (echo)
There is none like Him (echo)
AKEKHO OFAN NAYE (echo)
There is none like Him (echo)

HALELUYA
Hallelujah
AKEKHO OFAN NAYE
There is none like Him
