Title: Ngifuna Wena Nkosi (I Thirst for You Lord) (Jabu Hlongwane & Mthunzi Namba)
(Languages: English, Zulu)
Ngifuna Wena, ngifuna Wena (I’m thirsting for You)
Ngiguna Wena Nkosi Yam’, ngifuna Wena (I’m thirsting for You my Lord)
Ngenthliziyo yam’, ngifuna Wena (My heart is, thirsting for You)
Umpefumulo wam’, ofuna Wena (My soul is thirsting for You)
Refrain:
Ngifuna Wena, ngifuna Wena (I’m thirsting for You)
Ngiguna Wena Nkosi Yam’, ngifuna Wena (I’m thirsting for You, my Lord)
Ngifuna Wena, ngifuna Wena (I’m thirsting for You)
Ngifuna Wena, Thixo wam’, ngifuna Wena (I’m thirsting for You, my God)
Ngenthliziyo yam’, ngifuna Wena (My heart is, thirsting for You)
Umpefumulo wam’, ofuna Wena (My soul is thirsting for You)
Lamele Wena, lamele Wena (I’m longing for you)
Lamele Wena, Nkosi yam’, lamele Wena (I’m longing for you, my Lord)
Lamele Wena, Lamele Wena (I’m longing for you)
Lamele Wena, Thixo wam’, Lamele Wena (I’m longing for you, my God)
Ngenthliziyo yam’, lamele Wena (My Heart; is longing for you)
Umpefumulo wam’, lamele Wena (My soul; is longing for You)
This is our prayer:
Njengendluzela yomel’amanzi (As the deer longs for water)
Ka njalo no umpefumulo wami’ ufuna Wena (So my soul longs for you, oh God)
Ungxanele wena nkosi (I thirst for you, my God)
As the deer longs and pants for the streams of water
So my soul longs for you, oh God
I thirst for God; for the Living God
Just to be in your presence
I am seeking you alone – let your presence come
And saturate me and drench me
Every part of me: Make me new
Let Your Spirit come, and move within me
Fill me once again, ’cause I need You
For you are the God who … me
In your presence your reveal Your light, and your Faithfulness
You lead me, and you have called me back
I’m thirsting for you, I’m thirsting for You
I’m thirsty only for you Lord, I’m thirsting for You
Keeper of my Soul, I am thirsting for you
… of my Heart, I’m thirsting for You
Healer of my Soul, I’m thirsting for you
