Beautiful hymn we grew up singing in church sang so beautifully. A translation for the benefit of those who don't understand the language: Wenhliziyo yami (My heart) Mawuhlakaniphe (Be wise) Zikuhaq’ izitha zakho (Your enemies have surrounded you) Zivukela wena (Rising against you) Linda uthandaze (Wait and pray) Ungayeki ukulwa (Don’t stop fighting) Cela ngezinsuku zonke (Ask every day) INkosi inamandla (The Lord has power/is powerful) Ungalahli wena (Do not lose) Izikhali zakho (Your armour) Ekufeni uzoqeda (In death you will finish) Umsebenzi wakho (Your work).

The day I’m able to sing with this choir , I’m actually gonna cry🥺🤍

[@nopasikamabena]

Same here🥺

[@all_aboutayi]

Damn

[@paulacoyle5685]

I totally understand that feeling

[@Liyema_Jacobs]

I love how we're started off on a soft & sincere, intimate prayer to a joyful, praise and worship reaffirming God's strength. It creates the image of one having a personal experience with Him, who then goes on to spread His love to others. Well done Dr B and the Camerata 🔥🔥

We in the Stetson University Concert Choir had the privilege of working for two days on this piece with Dr. Barrett. What an amazing experience! I can’t wait to take this piece on tour and see how the audience reacts.

[@SuperVistaprint]

Is that only the guy in the glasses doing the counter beat clap? Impressive. Well done ya all, very well done! Several faces I recognizes from prior videos and many I don’t/ don’t see in this one. Is the choir so big or rotation so high?

[@boomoselebalo157]

Edit: also one girl row infront
