Priest Forever
Beatrice Nkuna 1970 (Soshanguve)
I have a song in my heart
Nation let us raise our voices
What great things he has done!
No one told you, you are a messenger?
You set all the captives free
By the power of God you did it
I learnt from you to forgive mistakes
You gave up the past and looked to the future
You accepted prison for truth
Who can suffer for the Nation as you did?
The truth makes this nation free
You did not despair, you did not lose hope
Your Freedom was ours
Full of tears for Freedom Day
You love and perseverance help us
who's that man? Nelson Mandela is his name
Your name will never be forgotten
Madiba you are a priest forever
