What is in a Name?

A friend wrote a special song called "We pray for Namibia".

This song gave birth to the title of this Blog. This song is a prayer. Read it. Pray it. Make it your own. Sing it! Our
friend has graciously provided the music for you.

Here are the words. The third and fourth verses are the Afrikaans translation. May you be blessed. May Namibia be blessed as you sing and pray this song!

We pray for Namibia
Lord, show us your way
Let us serve one another,

Live your love everyday

Let us shine your light everywhere

That our people can see:

Only love heals a nation,

In your will we are free.


2.
We pray for the nations

Let them see you are King
Let us serve in obedience

Our praises we bring

Fill the earth with your gracious love

Bind us all with your peace

Make us one in the Spirit

Let the whole world believe.


3.

Ons bid vir Namibië

ons mooi vaderland.

Ons vra U in Jesus Naam,

Hou ons in u hand.

Lei ons in u liefde,

bind met vrede ons saam.

Laat u kinders verenig

om te leef in u Naam.


4.

Ons bid vir die wêreld

dat elkeen kan sien:

U is Koning oor alles.

Laat almal U dien.

Laat ons sout en lig wees

Vir ‘n wêreld in nood

Mag ons altyd u liefde leef
-
Net u liefde gee hoop.

AMEN
