My late husband played this song on our last trip together from Durban to Richards Bay in November 2014. On the 28th of the same month, infact two weeks later he passed tragically by the hands of men who broke into our house 😢 I play it every time I miss him😢 10 years later it reminds me of our own perfect blessed marriage. It's as if he gave me this song to remind me that even if he's no longer with us but Jesus is still with us for He promised us that He'll never leave nor forsake us. Rest well my love for God has never left us in the 10yrs that you've been gone God has indeed still been a husband to your widow and a Father to your 3 children ❤ sisakuthanda Dukwase❤
I can never imagine the kind of the pain you must have been through over the years, but I am soo glad that you found someone you loved and who loved you so much that he left you with our comforter Jesus. uThixo abe nawe mama ❤
My dad died in October 26 2013...I was about to turn 13.I honestly thought that I was not gonna continue with school as we had just arrived South Africa from East Africa .My dad was the only breadwinner and now he was gone.I look back and I laugh because has been so faithful,my siblings and I continued with school. It took me over three years to study at a tertiary institution after my matric because of funds and documents .God has been so faithful,I am now doing my first year. Fatherless and a refugee according to the systems of the world but God is such a friends .I have never felt any less that a loved child
May you the Holy Spirit continue to comfort you and your family. That with same comfort you will comfort others who are going through the sane situation in Jesus name
Kuligugu kimina njalo (It is continually precious to me ) Ukwaz’ ukuthi nginomhlobo (In knowing that I have a friend) Ongek’ angishiy’ um’ izinsuku zinzima (Who’ll abide with me through hard times) Ohlal’ ekhona uma ngimdinga ngempela (Who is there when I’m in need) Umhlobo onguJesu (My friend is Jesus)
Knowing that I have a friend, a friend who's with me all the time, day and night he's there. A friend who doesn't complain. A trustworthy friend. A friend who forgives and forget. A friend who fulfil his promise. Jesus is that friend.
Thanks for the translation. I now have a picture of what is being sang. I only loved the song putting it into my interpretation. Though I wasn't that far. Specially the part that says "u thembisile u Jesu, u yo hlala nami njalo njee" He has promised to always be with me.
Ds song carried me through ngoDecember 2018 when i almost had miscarriage, oDr base bekushilo konke evn saying my kidneys were failing i nid 2 go 2 theatre 4 emergency csection bt God wahamba nam endlelen n held my hand i dilivered my pre matured baby healthy n luvly thru Gods grace ,she z 19 months now healthy n alive .i thank God ngokuba umhlobo weqiniso

I used to have a friend who loved this song so much he forced me to listen to it whenever i felt like giving up in life. Now every time i listen to it my heart breaks a little because he is late but in a way I believe he left me with this song to remind me of the friend i have in Jesus 🥺❤️
I cant sleep without listening to this song...❤I used used to pray with it 2019 when I had stroke😢even right now it keeps me going ❤uhlala enami njalo nje❤my morning glory
Sang this so all the way to the hospital in the year of the birth of my son...sang it throughout 😅❤...when I finally delivered and when the midwife gave me my baby I thanked God and cried 🙌 the others just looked at me mina ngibona amandla kaJehova
1:58 Tomorrow marks a year since my baby bro committed suicide. I woke up today asking the Lord to be with my family because it's going to be a long month for us and been singing this song 😢
Thanks Joyous celebration crew, this song brought me back to my senses. I was hurt, hopeless and extremely disappointed by the people I trusted. I was suicidal this song explained my exact situation and encouraged me. Today I'm happy and successful.
2024 I'm still here ❤ this song was playing on my younger sisters funeral 2017 now I'm in hospital listening to it it's all too much I have a lung infection and I'm only 20 years old 🙏🥺
