KE NGWANA WA HAO – JOYOUS 17 LYRICS By Buhle Thela

Ke ngoan’a hao, bitso la hao le rokoe,
[I’m Your child, Your Name be glorified]
Moren’a ka, ke ineela uena.
[My God, I give myself to You] 
Ke ngoan’a hao, kea u rata, kea u boka;
[I’m Your child, I love You, I worship You]
Ke ngoan’a hao, ke ngoan’a hao.

Pelong ea ka ke ne ke belaela,
Ke sa kholoe, ke lebella tsuo.
[I was curious in my heart, not believing]Sedi la hao la ba la mponts’a tsela
[Your light showed me the path]

Ke ngoan’a hao, ke ngoan’a hao.
Ke ngoan’a hao, ke ngoan’a hao.

Bitso la ka kajeno u le ngole,
[My name today be written]Le se ke la tloha bukeng tsa hao.
[And not be removed from Your books]Nako ea ka ha e filhla u nthole,
[when my time comes, find me]

Ke ngoan’a hao, ke ngoan’a hao.
Ke ngoan’a hao, ke ngoan’a hao.

Kgale ke ne ke bosoa ke lefatshe,
[I was controlled by the things of this world]Joale ke wahao.
[Now I’m yours]Pelo yaka e khotswe ka mehla;
[My heart is full]Ke ngoan’a hao, ke ngoan’a hao.

Ke ngoan’a hao, ke ngoan’a hao.
Ke ngoan’a hao, ke ngoan’a hao.
