Neyi Zimu and Omega Khunou's song 'Sefefo' is a praise and worship piece that draws from the biblical story of Jesus calming the storm. Sung in Sesotho, the lyrics describe a desperate cry for help amid life's overwhelming trials, likened to a stormy sea. The chorus recalls how Jesus rebuked the wind and waves, commanding 'Peace be still,' and encourages listeners to be courageous. The song moves from fear to trust, ultimately placing one's life in Jesus' hands. It is a call to faith and surrender, reminding believers that God is the help of those who weep.
