I've been longing for a while
Nothing else could ever satisfy
A thirst that no one else could quench
An emptiness, that I could never feel
Wafika, wafika kimi (You arrived, You came to me)
Kuthol' uphila okunaphakade (And I found eternal life)
Wamphefum'lela (You renewed my health)
Wathol'phil' emthonjeni wakho (You
Renewed my life from your wellspring)
Troubled eyed, and troubled mind
Didn't know who'd come and save my life
I had no rest, I didn't have joy
I was lost and didn't even know
Bridge: — in Zulu
Ngi-ngiyabonga, Moyo Ingcwele (I thank You, Holy Spirit)
Wafika, wafika kimi (You arrived, You came to me)
Kuthol' uphila okunaphakade (And I found eternal life)
Bridge: — in Sotho
Ke a leboga, Ke a leboga (Thank you, I thank You)
Wafihla gonna (You came to me)
Ka hwetja bophelo bosafeleng (And I found eternal life)
Wafihla gonna (You came to me)
Ka hwetja bophelo bosafeleng (And I found eternal life)
Wafika, wafika kimi (You arrived, You came to me)
Kuthol' uphila okunaphakade (And I found eternal life)
Wafihla gonna (You came to me)
Ka hwetja bophelo bosafeleng (And I found eternal life)
(Sotho Bridge)
