Celebrating Love
1
Let me sing you a love song, Let me
sing you a long song, Let me sing you a
life song, a life long song of love.
Let me sing it in the morning when our love is just a’dawning. As our
hearts begin a’forming that life long song of love
I will sing it every day, whether bright or whether grey. May our hearts
grow strong to play that life long song of love.
I will sing it as our love grows old. I will sing it till our story’s told.
I will sing it till my breath grows cold! That life long song of love.
Mangikuculele umculo wothando,
…umculo omude .. umculo wempilo .. umculo wothando oluqhubeka impilo yonke.
Mangikuculele ekuseni, uthando
lwethu lusayase. Izinhliziyo zethu zisaqala ukubumba umculo wothando oluqhubeka
impilo yonke
Ngizocula zonke izinsuku noma
zikhanya nomz zinyama. Maziqina izinhliziyo ukubanamandla ukudlala lomculo
wothando oluqhubeka impilo yonke
Ngizocula uthando lwethu
lubhutha iminyaka, kuze kube indabayethu iqediwe, kuze kube ngife lomculo
wothando oluqhubeka impilo yonke

Uthando lukaBaba Lusabalalisiwe enhlizwen’ ,
Uthando lukaKhristu lusabalalisiwe enhlizwen’ Uthando lukaMoya oNgcwele
lusabalalisiwe enhlizweni
Luyangimangalisa …
Uthando …
The love of the Father is shed
abroad in our hearts, the love of christ is shed a broad in our hearts, the
love of the holy spirit is shed abroad in our hearts!
It is amaizing…
The love..

How can I serve the God who made the universe?
How can I approach His majesty?
What can I give that will meet a need He has?
How can love burst from my heart to Him?
He sends a man stumbling down the road, All
bruised and battered dressed in rrags and tatters.
His face is marred and his hands are scarred,
but as I reach and touch his wounds
God says, “you do it all for Me”
He knows our weaknesses, He is our strength. He
sees beyond our actions to our hearts
And though we fail and falter on our part. He
promises we’ll grow like Him we love!
He let’s me touch the life that He’s created and
through that life to reach the very heart of God!
The woman in her labour cries in fear and pain but
as I wipe away her tears
God says, “You do it all for Me.”
Into my hands He placed the tiny babe.
Struggling through birth and into life it gasps.
New life into its’ mother’s arms I place. Now
suckling he gazes on her face
God says, “You so it all for Me.”

I know its’ for real. I know its’ for life. Cos’
I have a woman, I have a wife.
When you’re holding my hand as we’re takng the
air with our feet on the sand and the wind in your hair
When you’re lying by my side at the end of the
day and yo snuggle in closer. Wht more can I say!
When you’re reading a book sitting there in a
chair we each share that look and I know that you’re there!

thambo lamathambo ami, nyama yenyama yami. I
love you!
Nkulunkulu wathi akukuhl’ umnuntu ahlale yedwa
Ngizakumenzela umsizi onjengaye
Izilwane zonke zesa kuAdamu ahlale yedwa
Ndlovu nezinyoni waqamba amagama
Ezinye zazinkulu, ezinye zazincane ahlale yedwa
Akawutholanga umsizi onjengaye
Ulubambo lwakhe wathatha uJehova ahlale yedwa
Wamnez’owesifazane, umsizi onjengaye
Nami ngiyabonga umusa kaJehova owanginika
URaheli Chapman umsizi onjengami!
Bone of my bone and flesh of
my flesh I love you.
God said it is not good for
man to live alone I will make for him a helper just like him.
All the animals came to Adamas
he stayed alone and he gave them all names
Some were big some small (He
was still alone)he did not find a helper just like himself
Jehova took a rib from him and
made woman, a helper just like him
And I thank the generosity of
Jehova who gave me Rachel Chapman, a helper just like me!

If I could write a song that turned the world,
If I could write a song that made hearts beat,
If I could write a song that lifted hands and
brought the population to its’ feet.
I’d write it just for you!
I’d write of joy, I’d write of peace, I’d write
of love and its’ increase. I’d write it just for you!
If I could sing a song tha melted snow. If I
could sing a song set hearts a’fire.
If I could sing a song to reach the soul abolish
hate and deads of love inspire.
I’d sing it just for you!
I’d sing of joy, I’d sing of peace, I’d sing of
love and its’ increase. I’d sing it just for you!
If I could be the man who kept his word. If I
could be that man through stormy weather.
If I could be the man who took your heart and
wrapped it in his loving arms forever.
I’d be that man for you!
So put your hands in mine, I have a heart that
beats a tune that needs a harmony to match!
I would bring joy, I would bring peace, I would
bring love and its’ increase.
I’d be that man for you!

Kuyalanjwa, kunesizungu khetha umuntu ozophilana

Hey boys what are you waiting
for? Hey boys when are you going to get married?
Are there no young women who
sparkle in your eyes?
Here is a young woman, here is
a young man. There are many young people in our area
but there is afamine of weddings
You who are waiting to have
your food served to you,
stand up for your home and
build a strong house.
…, don’t like the plates left
over by others yours will be full of everything
…, one gets hungry, one gets
lonely, so choose someone who will live with you!

This is a song about a person who gave his life
for me. He hung upon an awful cross from sin to set me free
What do you think you are doing? Who do you
think you are?
He was a man so full of passion for all who hurt
and cry! Reaching out with loving hands to all who would come by.
Why do you standby gazing? Who will you help
today?
He wasn’t fooled by religion but called a spade
a spade. He looked into the heart of man. It didn’t make the grade!
How will you change your thought life? Make your
insides good?
Jesus, You can change a life completely! Jesus,
You can purify the soul
Jesus come and make my heart like you now I just
want to be made whole
Jesus take these hands and let them work for
you. Jesus spread your light into the night
Jesus I would learn to walk in step with you.
Shunning wrong and loving right!
This is a song about a person who gave his life
for us!
Don’t believe you’ll make it on your own!
12
When I said ‘I love you’ I didn’t know how much
it meant. When I said ‘I love you’ how could I be sure?
It wasn’t just your hair or your beautiful eyes.
It wasn’t just the moon
but something deep in side that told me there
was something more to know.
It wasn’t just for the day or a few nights long.
It wasn’t just for fun
But something more beside that told me there was
something more to know
It wasn’t just for kids though they’re fun to
have. It isn’t just for a while
But a whole life long I know you are really
something more to know!
When I say ‘I love you’ I can feel how much it
means. When I say ‘I love you’ Oh I am so sure!
13
Sithi ‘ yebo yebo yebo ocansini! Yebo yebo yebo
emshadweni,
yebo yebo yebo othandweni sithi yebo yebo yebo yebo
ye!
Siyafuna amadoda azosivikela. Azobondla
abantwana. Amadoda athembikile
Siyafuna abafazi abahloniphayo, abathanda
abakithi. Abafazi abanelisayo
Siyafuna abazali abakhonela thina,
abasinakekelayo! Abazali abathanda abantwana!
We say yes yes yes to sex!
Yes yes yes in marriage,.. in
love… yes yes yes .
(women) we want men who will
protect us, look after our children.Men who are faithful.
(men) we want women who show
respect, love our people. Women who satisfy us.
(children) we want parents who
are here for us, look afer us. Parents who love children.

The proceeds from the sale of this cd are ear marked to be divided between
Inservice Bible Training Course project
and Umhlahlindlela Music association.
Inservice Bible Training Course (IBTCo)
Umhlahlindlela Music Association
This is an association of music groups at Mseleni.
It aims to promote local musical talent and musical expression by encouraging
interaction between these groups at combined concerts and practice sessions as
well as assisting one another to record and distribute our work.
There is a tremendous variety of style of music, both accompanied and
unaccompanied, in groups around Mseleni but it is extremely hard for these
groups to get their work even aired on the local radio due to a lack of
recording facilities. This project seeks to overcome some of these
difficulties.
