Bodibeng jwa mahlomola

8.7.8.7.D.

1. Bodibeng jwa mahlomola,
   (In the midst of trouble)
   Moo ke neng ke tebile,
   (Is where I was trapped)
   Ha ke se ke ya timela,
   (Just when I was about to go astray, )
   Jesu, o n’u nkhopole;
   (Jesus remembered me;)
   Wa hlaha, wa ntutubolla,
   (He came and pull me out of it,)
   Ka tsota dintle tsa hao,
   (By His loving kindness)
   Ka tseba le ho nyakalla,
   (He brought joy into my life)
   Hoba ke bone mohau.
   (I have found grace.)

2. Empa ke sa ntse ke khasa;
   (I am still crawling)
   Che, esita le jwale
   Matswalo a sa ntlhokisa
   Tumelo ya sebele,
   Ke hopola dibe tsa ka,
   (I remembered my sins)
   Ke ntse ke itelela,
   (And cried to myself)
   Ke mpa ke lebala ngaka
   (I had forgotten the Doctor)
   E reng, e ka mphekola.
   (Who said He can save me)

3. Jesu, o itse ho rona;
   (Jesus said to us:)
   Tlong ho ‘na, le se tshabe!
   (“Come to me, do not be afraid)
   Ha se meokho ya lona
   (It’s not your tears)
   E ka le hlatswang dibe;
   (That can wash away your sins;)
   Ke ‘na ke le fang tshwarelo,
   (I am the only One who can offer you forgiveness,)
   Ke ‘na ya le fodisang!
   (I am the One who heals you!”)
   Morena, ha o rialo,
   (Lord if you said so,)
   Re ka belaela jwang?
   (How can we be anxious?)
