about

i sometimes write songs in Afrikaans, which is my first language. these songs are usually very personal and often based on my views of my faith and like prayers in a way.

this one translated means, "hold on to Me".

lyrics

wanneer jy bid en als voel o, o so rou
hou vas, hou vas aan My
as jy wonder wat’s die punt
die lewe so raak dat jy kan nie verstaan
waar is God dan wanneer niks sin maak nie
eensaamheid draai jou om sy pinkie
al die woorde wat jy neerskryf, bestaan nie
'hou vas, vas aan My',
sê Jesus vir jou

Translation:

when you pray and everything feels oh so raw
hold on, hold on to Me
if you wonder what’s the point
life happens and you cannot understand
where is God when nothing makes sense
loneliness twists you 'round its little finger
all the words you write down, don’t exist
'hold on, hold on to Me'.
says Jesus to you
