Despite our spirit wanting to live a righteous life, our bodies are weak and keep falling for temptation. But despite this, we believe our Heavenly Father will find a way to forgive and cleanse us. This is the theme Mr Thela and Boohle push in their newest collaboration, “uMhleli Wami.” Taken from Mr Thela’s Intsika album, the song is one of the leading gospel-influenced Gqom songs we have listened to in a while. See the full lyrics below.
uMhleli Wami Lyrics
Hah hah-ah, mmm
Mmm
Hah hah-ah, mmm
Themb’ igama lam
Libaliwe
Emagameni Asezulwini
Ngiyazi ngiyona Ngingumuntu
Kodwa ngiyomele ongaphezulu
Ngifuna ukuhlala Ngilungile
Kodwa emhlabeni kunzima
Oh ngena sono
Wabaphontse
Elokuqala
Elokuqala
Themb’ igama lam
Libaliwe
Emagameni
Asezulwini
Ngiyazi ngiyona
Ngingumuntu
Kodwa ngiyomele ongaphezulu
Ngifuna ukuhlala
Ngilungile
Kodwa emhlabeni
Kunzima
Oh ngena sono
Wabaphontse
Elokuqala
Oh ngena sono
Wabaphontse
Elokuqala
Ngithi ngena sono
Wabaphontse
Elokuqala
