Joyous Celebration and Eric Moyo's 'Atawale' is a live worship song that blends Swahili, Lingala, and English lyrics. It opens with a paraphrase of Psalm 23, declaring trust in God's provision and protection. The chorus repeatedly calls for Jesus to reign and rule, emphasizing His sovereignty. The song also praises Jesus as the God of blessings, the one who chose the singer from childhood, and the provider and healer. It is a multi-lingual declaration of surrender, trust, and adoration, rooted in African gospel worship traditions.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me, besides still water
My soul overflows
And though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
For You are with me (You are with me) .
