Last week, I had the privilege to serve at Rev7 (short for Revelation 7), an annual celebration service held by the Fellowship of International Students of Trinity International University. One student, from South Africa, wanted to sing this song. I made a chord chart and hopped on the piano and the college music director graciously joined in on conga at my request.
This song is simple, catchy, energizing and pre-dominantly in English. It could easily be sung in a church service. Lyrics below:
Bayete, Bayete Inkosi
Bayete King of kings
Bayete, Bayete Inkosi
Bayete Inkosi is King
King of kings
Who can match Your greatness
Who can know your power
Who can search Your riches
Who can deny You are crowned
Lord of all
You are crowned King of Africa
You are crowned Lord of all
You are crowned King of Africa
Who can deny You are crowned
Lord of all
