Sixolele

For when we've brought a blemished offering
And reserved the best for our squandering
Forgive Us Father, forgive us God

When we've been blinded by self-righteousness
Too high to bow too proud and pompous to confess

Forgive Us Father, forgive Us God
Forgive us Father, forgive us God

Thix'oyingcwele sihawukele (Holy God have mercy on us)
Bab'onomusa sixolele (Gracious Father forgive us)

Thix'oyingcwele sihawukele (Holy God have mercy on us)
Bab'onomusa sixolele (Gracious Father forgive us)

For when we have not loved our neighbour
Loved convenience more than each other

Forgive Us Father, forgive Us God

When prayer has been for our own wants and needs
And we've not covered, cared for, loved the least of these

Forgive us Father, forgive us God
Forgive us Father, forgive us God

Thix'oyingcwele sihawukele
Bab'onomusa sixolele
Thix'oyingcwele sihawukele
Bab'onomusa sixolele

For when we've made a mere suggestion
Of your commands, decrees and great commission

Forgive us Father, forgive us God
For when your sanctuary has been made

A den of thieves, a stage, a place to entertain (us)

Forgive us Father, forgive us God
Forgive us Father, forgive us God
