Liziba (The Source) Lyrics by Mike Kalambay

(Sung in Lingala)

Refrain:
Liziba eh, na zo bika na ngolu (The source, of the life I live is Grace)
Na zo bika na ngolu, ngolu na yo Yesu eh (I live by Your Grace, Your Grace Jesus)
Yo Liziba eh, Yo Muana na Nzambe, (Your source, You the Child of God)
Makassi ya ba santu (The strength of saints)
O longa motema na nga (You conquered my heart)

Lokola David (Like David)
Liziba awa na yé awa, kuna libanda (I come to You my Source)
Goliath a zo kana(For Goliath outside wants to fight me)
Pesa nga limbanga (Give me the rock)
Elembo ya bokasi , ya bokasi na yo eh (The symbol of strength, Your Strength)

Awa na yé awa lisusu (Here I am before You again)
Nzala ekoti na mboka (Famine is defeating my nation)
Pesa nga ata secours, na lia ata Lipa (Grant us your help, and food)
Na Mela mua mayi (Source, Feed us bread and water)
Lokola Eliyah liziba (As you fed Elijah, the Source)

(Refrain)

Repeat: O longa motema na nga (You conquered my heart)
O longa motema oy’anga Yesu (You conquered my heart Jesus)
Papa makanisi oy’anga e koma se na yo
(Papa all my thoughts are turned towards You)
Avant na lala, tongo tongo soki na lamuki (Before I sleep, in the morning when I rise)
Ya nga mabandzo epayi na yo, molimo ndzoto
(My thoughts, my mind and my whole body turn towards you)
Na koma na yo eh, na koma ya yo eh (I give myself to You, I give myself to You)
Yahwe, na koma na yo eh, na koma ya yo eh (Lord, I give myself to You)
Papa, na koma na yo eh, na koma ya yo eh (Father, I give myself to You)
Yahwe, na koma na yo eh, na koma ya yo eh (Lord, I give myself to You)

Bridge:
Tango ya bikamua eleki té (The Time of miracles is not over)
To za na posa na yo (We need You)
Papa ehhh, Papa ehhh (Oh Father, Oh Father) (Repeat)

Repeat: O longa motema na nga (You conquered my heart)
Na koma na yo eh na koma ya yo eh (I give myself to You)
Papa, na koma na yo eh na koma ya yo eh (Father, I give myself to You)
Ahh, na koma na yo eh na koma ya yo eh (Ah, I give myself to You)
Yahwe, na koma na yo eh na koma ya yo eh (Lord, I give myself to You)
Yo pé o koma ya nga, o koma ya nga (The Source, You also belong to me)
O koma ya nga eh, o koma ya nga eh (You also belong to me, belong to me)
