Geepereet (4 months ago) Just a short explanation of the title which means: come my saviour, come. I will upload the interview which was just before this song with the host of this program, Hans Flupsen and the conductor of this choir, Lucas Bok. It's pretty essential info so I'm surprised myself I did not post that before. Best regards, Aart

Azizip17 (33 seconds ago) Thank you for posting this video and thanks to all those who posted an explanation for the words of the song. The Soweto Gospel Choir sound is wonderful.
As a person who grew up as a Baptist in an Eastern USA African American church I have had to work on not thinking it sacrilege for people to dance to religious music. I've come to recognize not only that every culture is different but that joyous dancing like this is an expression of religiousity and enhances the choir's performance. Thanks!
