Translation:

Ngicing isizathu sokukukhonza (I'm thinking of a reason to praise You )

Lesi esahlula abase mandulo( that the one from the past failed)

Sebencabela ukukubethela (so much they put you on the cross) 

Bakuphosa emthini wehlazo (they threw you in the tree of shame) 

Ngaphandle kokutsi (Besides that) 

Wen' uyinkosi ( You are the king) 

Ngaphandle kokuthi (Besides that) 

Wen' ungumdali (You're the creator)

Ngithol ukuthi nguwe isizathu (I have found that You are the reason) 

Nanoma nje ngiyaphila (For me to live.)
