yindlela endikuthanda ngayo, yindlela endikuthanda ngayo,

ngothando loNyana wam; ngale ndlela sikuthanda ngayo.”

Masithandaze:

Andishukunyiswa, Thixo wam, ukuba ndikuthande

Ngezulu undithembisile;

okanye ayisosihogo endisoyika kangaka

lonto indenza ndiyeke ukukukhubekisa ngenxa yoko.

Uyandishukumisa, Nkosi! Iyandishukumisela ukuba ndikubone

wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni wagculelwa,

Ndichukumisekile kukubona umzimba wakho ungxwelerhekile.

Ndichukunyiswa kukunyeliswa kuWe kunye nokufa kwakho.

Ekugqibeleni, luthando lwakho olundishukumisayo,

kwaye ngaloo ndlela,

ukuba nokuba belingekho izulu, ndiya kukuthanda,

kwaye nokuba besingekho isihogo, bendiya kukoyika Wena.

Akukho mfuneko yokuba undinike nantoni na ukuze ndikuthande,

Kuba, nokuba bendingenalo ithemba, bendingenalo ithemba;

Ndiya kukuthanda njengokuba ndikuthanda.
