Thank you I now have a deeper understanding of the song. Before knowing the meaning. Something powerful about the melody and harmony of this song that tells you this expresses a longing that only God can fill. God as out father and our everything
This song sent my grandma to her angels, she requested we play this song on repeat and that was the day she passed away. It still touches me deep in my heart wherever you are my grandma may your soul rest in peace
During dis hardship wt ds Corona all around da world I found myself here and I broke in tears.i dnt knw weda I should tnk God for keeping us alive or are we at da finish lane God help us
I first saw this song on Instagram and it got stuck with me. It's so beautiful, I can't describe it ❤ there's so much we are lacking as humans, especially in the "modern world". This stops everything for a couple of minutes. 🙏☀️
When blacks n whites unite the sky is the limit thts why the enemy wants to keep us apart so that we can continue nursing our differences rather than doing exactly this.AMEN BOYS N GIRLS
I'm a Xhosa man and I can confirm that I only saw 3 blacks among 40 whites.. I think what you meant was, "When white people sing black song it becomes viral".. I can agree with that. I really like the song
About damn time is what I'm saying, 24 years in our democracy and only a few white people make an effort to learn one of our African languages. Still I'm impressed and it's beautiful makes me proud to be South African.
Heavenly... Bob Marley once said: "One thing about Music is that, when it hits... You feel no pain". May all your pains be removed through the language and healing of music, one Love y'all ❤️
As a black South African Male, I only wish to challenge those who would challenge racists. As if racists would even stumble across this. Racism has evolved and its only the narrow minded who could still view it in the way those before us did. GET WITH THE TIMES MY FRIEND. Racism continues to exists because it is allowed to exist in our hearts, keeping it alive. This song's overarching message is:"Father guide us". Those who would sooner seek out challenge from so called racists should be reminded of the above. In SA we are still plagued by racism the only difference is the degree to which it gets maintained and the people who wish it to be true. 🎉🎉🎉🎉The younger generation still live as if it's pre-1994 clinging to suffering that they have no clue about. Narrow mindedness doesn't know race nor social class.
I bumped into this beautiful song...its not coincidence... that I know...in our trying times as a nation and the whole world...its what I needed to hear 🥺❤
Keep making strides, South Africa. Progress is slow and there are moments of pain and despair. But occasions like these show the immense possibilities that lie ahead for the Rainbow Nation. Ndiyakuthanda Mzansi!
@averagejack6390 They aren't your people genius. Do you know they killed your people to have that land and to think they won't do it again is foolishness on your part. @@averagejack6390
I promote you my doughter, you're qualified to sing with the angels... TO ALL SOUTH AFRICANS DURING THIS PANDEMIC TIME 🙌 Numbers 6:24-26 KJV The Lord bless you, and keep you: [25] The Lord make his face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: [26] The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
This performance goes to show that black coloured or White, in south Africans can be one and the same soul , if it is felt deep enough!!!! A blind listener would have never known who were singing if he heard this for the first time!!! Can anyone catch my drift? Where do we go from here this with this ????!!!!
Totally agree. Learning the languages is a start,learning about our customs and not calling them barbaric or witchcraft. This choir proves that even in a song you can embrace a language not your own and perform beautifully.
When we continue to allow racism to prevail, we lose so much blessings and miss out on God's perfect plans for us. This song, this Choir, gives a snippet of what heaven expects of us! Please watch the WITS Choir - welcome concert 2020, for another beautiful version!
Soprano soloist looks like a Van Amstel girl I knew in Newcastle when she was a little girl... her mom was a sensational singer and my choir mistress for like 8 years!!!
I was in Christians Brothers College...I applied to Stellenbosch...too dutch...so I got accepted tukkies... witwatersrand, Durban and Rhodes. I went to Rhodes as far as I could get from Pretoria... back in kenya my mom was terminally ill...breast cancer. All in all south Africa has a special place in my heart.

It just goes to show you beautiful music is beautiful music! It doesn’t matter where it’s from. I am familiar with song as it is sung by South African school children. Hands down this a moving sacred song no matter how or who performs it ❤
I can only agree. This african music touches you deep within. I am from Switzerland and usually sing the classical repertoire, so this is just amazing to hear such a wonderfully arranged choir. And the director has a very Swiss / German name, wonder where his roots are.... Bravo Bravissimo!
This is soooo beautiful... What an outstanding rendition... Well done Choir Master... A different kinda lockdown party😥🙏 soul soothing. GOD bless USB CC🇿🇦♥️
This choir 😢 sweet too sweet
Who is watching with me from Nigeria

Where are the racists. This world can be united as the Creator intended it to be.
Why do u expect to be racists?
So you think cultural appropriation is a silver bullet to racism?

As a Xhosa man, I can confirm they are singing the song like angles.. Love it ❤️
Angels 😣not angles

You guys are flames 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow this is beyond beautiful. Make me miss singing in a choir!!
I'm literally sitting and crying its beautiful
Not forgetting Nkosi Sikelela I Afrika 👍👍

Word
We don't want to unit with white people, they must all go back to Europe
It's always blacks that want to unite. Why's it that you never hear whypipo call for unity🤔
that won't happen even jesus comes back
About damn time is what I'm saying, 24 years in our democracy and only a few white people make an effort to learn one of our African languages. Still I'm impressed and it's beautiful makes me proud to be South African.
lol there will always be a khunt like you who spoils it tsek skabaresh
Who else is watching this from Zimbabwe......

Vanhu vano vhunduka ka.. They are good!
Not in Zim, but l am Zimbabwean 🙂. They bodied this song!

The Solo in the beggining with the humming... could've gone on for hours... it was just too beatifull... great perfomance..
IKR..Whoever was supplying those Tenor notes😭😭
Can we please love, embrace and protect our South African languages, really enjoyed listening to this beautiful and soulful music.
My first time hearing this choir and second time hearing this song. I'm so blessed.....I wish I could sing like I once did.
Love from Nigeria...❤❤❤
@Richard Kambinda Years of neglect and oily foods..... It's turned into a shadow of what it once was.
This song together with the choir is crushing corona virus soon the world will b free from corona.
This version from the Stellies choir hits differently. So angelic, so beautiful. If this is how angel sounds like, please take me there.
if i go to heaven one day an i dont find that lady leading this song... imma go through a thousand hells just to be with her
😂
It's a little unseasoned. Just a little. Overall, a beautiful performance thought.
The music philosophy of this choir is just amazing
I HOPE THAT THAT GOD HEARS THIS PRAYER AND STOP THE KILLINGS IN OUR COUNTRY. HIS GRACE AND MERCY MUST INTERVENE AND UNITE US ALL.
I love this version. No wonder i always find myself back here over and over again 🙌
Eish.. during this time this hit hard. Am so far from home, am pleading to all South Africans to please , let’s stay home, let’s save each other
2024🎉

And then they say racism will never and when you see this, you will think twice I love it soooo much😢💜💜💜💜
25th April 2020 in Australia I still get goosebumps listening to this prayer
its really surprising kuzwa umlung with such a nice voice umculo ngesizulu
lol niyazi thanda yazi nina mazulu
this is Xhosa not isiZulu
khona magama esizulu phela
NGUNI speaking, isizulu number 1 isixhosa 2 isiswati 3, so ayikho inkinga neh
isiXhosa not isiZulu
The nation is in a dire need for God's leadership in this pandemic we're facing.
Nothing's feels better when Soweto choir sings this song
I wonder how heaven will look like.. If on earth we can already listen to such good music
I have lost count of repeating the song
ndikhokhele bawo ,siyabonga kuhle kakhulu
Forever love you South Africans, my nasie
If South African politics was music really ds was going 2 b d new national Mandela envisaged d Rainbow nation.
Beautiful
The Lord is leading us to repentance.
Let us pray church.
We have forgotten our place.
We are the buffer for God's rage.
O Merciful Saviour! Watch over us! This is beautiful! God bless you guys. When I feel down and beaten, I come here and I never get disappointed!
This is South Africa. I love you all. Beautiful piece,especially in these dark days we facing with the Coronavirus. I thank you.
South Africa is really giving classical music a well deserved kick up the a##
Pai celestial, estou realmente grato pelo amor, o conhecimento, a sabedoria e a coragem
Santificado seja o teu nome, glória ao Rei por manter minha alma tão segura
Deus tem um plano para cada ser humano ou animal que vive na terra
Um dos grandes dons da vida que Deus deu foi o dom de criar vida.
Vamos levar isso para a igreja
Tu não os deixa rir de mim
Ninguém me alimenta como Tu
Ninguém quer aguentar a dor
Em tudo de negativo que eu já fiz
No passado, não achava que iria durar
Sempre preso ao meu passado sombrio
Nunca compreendi o que significa o amor
Só Deus ajudou a minha mamã Jackie, papá e a minha família
Cicatrizes doem, nunca olhes para trás, apaga a minha vela
Acendi a minha vela e lá estavas tu, senhor escuridão, até o dia nascer
Eu vou esfregar minhas palmas
Cabeça abaixada todos os dias
Será que algum dia serei apanhado nas artimanhas
Eu preciso da Tua orientação nesta selva
Pai celestial, perdoa-me pelos meus pecados
Todos os erros, as pequenas coisas más
A dor que causei a todos os seres vivos
Mostra-me a luz para que eu possa realmente brilhar
Dá-me o conhecimento para que eu possa realmente crescer
Guia-me para a positividade
Ajuda-me a viver um legado
Cada respiração deve ser sagrada e muito saudável
Louvado sejas, Deus, guiando todos para a terra
Aqueles que, confiam n' Ele, verão para sempre a terra prometida
Whoever singing tenor in the beginning...🗣we hear you ! Very nice placement🔥🔥🔥🤌🏿👌🏿👏🏿
