Choir
In the mud, I was and you held out your hand to me
Your grace found me, now I'm chosen
Loved, blessed, na komi muana mokonzi
Naza ya ye, nga nako zonga sima te
1 couplet
Condemned to live according to the eyes of men
But this man called Jesus saw in me a glorious future
Oh a glorious future
Refrain
(He changed my name)
Ah yaya yemba jesus ohhh
(Jesus changed my name)
He changed my name
(He changed my name)
Nga ko likomba ba bengi nga mother of the multitudes
(Jesus changed my name)
He changed my name
(He changed my name)
2 couplet
Come to Him all you who are weary
For his yoke is light, his burden is pepel (pepel)
Zua ya ye, a memela yo ya yo
Ba tiela ye motema litatoli esilaka te
Refrain
Nzamb'oyo lele x2
(Nzamb'oyo lele x2)
Nzamb'oyo lelele litatoli esilaka te
(Nzamb'oyo lele x2)
Yemba Nzamb'oyo lele ba tiela ye motema ba buakama te lele
(Nzamb'oyo lele x2)
Eh Nzamb'oyo lelele ye nde likonzi na moto

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Na ba ndaku na bino
(Jesus)
Toko yembela nani
(Jesus)
Bongo na feti ya lelo
(Jesus)
Kombo mosusu ezali te
(Jesus)
We still celebrate
(Jesus)
He deserves it Jesus
(Jesus)
The name above all names
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
How do you manage to stay in your chair,
Rise up and celebrate Jesus
To Ke!
Nazo binela Yesu a sali nga bolamu x4
(Nazo binela Yesu asali nga bolamu)
Is there anyone to whom the Lord has done good
he would like to celebrate it with his dance steps
Toke, over to you!
[irp]
You place your hand above and then another around
From your hips like you're playing the guitar
