This song/prayer was captured during a taping in South Africa during the month of September 2023.
The well known singer was invited to share a song, but the day of the concert she, who suffers from deep bouts of anxiety and depression, canceled her appearance. In the end, she showed up and sang this (slightly distorted) prayer straight from her broken state, unto the Lord.
The essence and segments of this long-worded Xhosa language prayer translates in English to:
Title: Jesu Msindisi/Jesus the Savior
- Jesu Msindisi wami. Phakamisel’amandla akho. Moya wonthando Moya wokuthula Pholisa amanxeba. Yehla Moy’oyingcwele. Siyakhuela. Siyabonga/Jesus my Savior. Raise your strength. Spirit of love, Spirit of peace, Heal the wounds. Come down Holy Spirit. We are crying. Thank you;
- Yehla, Moya. Yehla Moy’oyingcwele. Moya wokuthula, Moya wothado/Come down, Spirit. Come down Holy Spirit. Spirit of peace, Spirit of love…
During the fall of 2023, I battled depressive suicidal thoughts for weeks on end. To think, around the world from me, another child of God was crying out, publicly, in the midst of her brokenness. And months later, the Lord would use her vulnerability to impact the hearts and souls of MANY, throughout the WORLD, as we join in and sing this honest prayer to him as he walks us into his presence with healing.
Wow!
No matter WHAT we face, we are here for each other. Our ups and downs, when presented to the Lord, are used to cultivate LIFE due to “the Way, the Truth, and the Life,” Jesus. Amen, Amen.
Thank you LORD for letting this song appear as a “recommendation” when I opened my YouTube app. I literally felt led to share this here, but reluctantly thought I was too tired to write this post. However, I felt it was more important to share this then to simply drift off into a state of numbing my mind by watching some twice-watched television documentary.
Maybe this is for someone here on this site of #TheMighty !
Be blessed and listen, first, rather than simply viewing the tape and getting distracted. The unseen heart is what is on display. And our Father loves a contrite heart.❤️
