WELCOME!

With the popularity of Christian songs its not uncommon to come across songs in foreign tongues that you wish you could understand what the lyrics meant. In some instances I get carried away in worship of the Lord that I wish I could sing songs of praise and worship in languages other than my mother tongue. Well if you are like me - with a longing to understand a lyric before singing it to the Lord, you have come to the right place. Because this is what this blog is all about.

From time to time I will publish great African praise and worship songs with there translations. And together we will have fun in the presence of the Lord
