Insingizi: Ngizobambelela (I Will Hold On) Lyrics & Translation

 

Contrary to much of what we hear preached about within Christianity today; the bible warns us how in the latter days how ".. many will turn away from the faith" (Matt 24:10) in times of difficulties and in testing. However just as a good sailor is seen in a storm; a good servant will cling onto and rejoice in the Love of the Lord Jesus. David declared in Psalms 97:10 "Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked." This song, sung in Ndebele (also can be understood in Zulu by Insingizi declares how the Love of the Lord Jesus is far higher and greater than anything the world or man can offer. Ngizobambelela means 'I will hold on", or "I will persevere" encouraging the believer to stand firm being a good seed; not the seeds that fall on the rocks which "receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away." (Luke 8:13)
