IN THE CROSS LYRICS BY MTHUNZI NAMBA FEAT JOYOUS CELEBRATION 19

1. Jesus, keep me near the cross;
there a precious fountain,
free to all, a healing stream,
flows from Calvary's mountain.
Refrain:
In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever,
till my raptured soul shall find
rest beyond the river.

2. Near the cross, a trembling soul,
love and mercy found me;
there the bright and morning star
sheds its beams around me.
(Refrain)

3. Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
bring its scenes before me;
help me walk from day to day
with its shadow o'er me.
(Refrain)

4. Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
hoping, trusting ever,
till I reach the golden strand
just beyond the river.
(Refrain)

ENTABENI LYRICS BY VICKY VILAKAZI - JOYOUS CELEBRATION 1

Entabeni ekude
Kwem’ isiphambano
Esinobuhlungu nehlazo

Ngisithando sona 
Ngobu Jesu wami
Wabethelwa kuso
Ngenxa yami

CHORUS:
Ngakho ngisibabaza sona
Ngize ngibeke phansi umthwalo
Ngizokubambelela kusona
Ngize ngizuze umqhele wam'

Leso siphambano
Esadelwa yizwe
Singimangalisa njalo
Ngoba ngenxa yaso
UJesu weza lapha
Asithwalel’ eGolgotha

(Chorus)

Yek' uthand" olungaka
Yekumusa ongaka
Wanikela ngendodana yakhe
Ngizobambelela
Kuson' isiphambano

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
the emblem of suffering and shame;
and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
for a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it some day for a crown.

2.O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
has a wondrous attraction for me;
for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above
to bear it to dark Calvary.
(Refrain)
