Church in Botswana is a lot of fun. It's exciting, really full of energy, inspiring and a total workout. Yeah, I said workout. We would dance so much during praise and worship that we would be sweating. Talk about a calorie burner! Today's Reminiscing Mondays post is all about my favorite Botswana church songs.
We attended Winners' Chapel, Gaborone and if you know this church, you would know that it is a diverse congregation comprising of people from all around Africa. This reflected in church songs as well, as we sang songs in Setswana, Zulu, Swahi, Yoruba and Pidgin. How amazing is that?!
Ahuna Ya Tswanang Le Jesu
Re ya Go Boka Morena
Modimo Re Boka Wena
Mighty God we thank you
Everything and anything
Was made by you
Oh Mighty Lord we thank you
Yesu ni Wangu
Yesu ni Wangu
Yesu ni wangu wa uzima wa milele
Wauzima wa milele
Ke na le Modisa
When I remember
My God is good
This song is sang all over Africa, it's not just Bots.
Dumela Fela
Dumela fela
Dilo tsothe di lokile'
Translation
Only believe,all is well
I could go on, but I`ll stop here. I hope this is taking you back to those good ol days of church in Botswana.
