1 O Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end; be Thou forever near me, my Master and my Friend; I shall not fear the battle if Thou art by my side, nor wander from the pathway if Thou wilt be my Guide. 2 O let me feel Thee near me, the world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, the tempting sounds I hear; my foes are ever near me, around me and within; but, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, and shield my soul from sin. 3 O let me hear Thee speaking in accents clear and still, above the storms of passion, the murmurs of self-will; O speak to reassure me, to hasten or control! O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul! 4 O Jesus, Thou hast promised to all who follow Thee that where Thou art in glory there shall Thy servant be; and, Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, my Master and my Friend!
I never get tired of listening to these songs, no matter how much I'm troubled I come to believe there is God up there. God bless everyone listening to these songs. 2020
My older sisters and brothers loved him and played his songs a lot while growing up and he become my favourite . Even today 14 Dec 2023 still listening to him ❤
This song reminds me of the olden days when I was young staying in a topical village Monze, Zambia. Those were really days How I wish if were to be reversed back. God bless Africa and World at large.
Far beyond boarders we listened to you on large black disks, our childhood memories are is filled with your songs, Rest In Peace SK, we lift our eyes in prayer as we intercede for the family🙏🏼
Oh God what a song. I played it at a funeral of my friends wife in Kabwe Zambia in 1991 or so. It gave me and family a lot of comfort. I lost those tapes. Happy to find it on youtube.
He was one of my mom's favorite musicians... I grew up listening to his songs because mom used play them loud. So whenever I miss my mom I would listen to his music. Rest in Peace mom❤️... Thanks uncle Steven Rest in peace too.
i pray for all widows and singer mothers out there,because this man;s music helped our mom to cope and raise 3 children GOD bless HER soul,thanks Bra Steve
My brothers and sisters used to play his music a lot when growing up , he became my favourite artist . I never get tired of hearing his voice and his messages
It gave me joy when I found Steve kekana's songs on UA-cam I celebrated and I'm still celebrating his life time on earth made an impact through the songs he blessed us with I knew from my father and UpTo now everyone in my house Enjoy listening to his songs including babies when they learn it ,this shows that he sung not only on lips but on in the spirit it brings a lot of impact and someway encourages and comforts the weak I salute you even in Death Mr Kekana Sir 🙏 u shall forever be remembered 🤝
It reminds me of my Late Cousin Gerald Funsani Banda who was a Director African Southern Division under Colgate Palmolive. He was based in Zambia. MHSRIEP.
I had an uncle of Mine that gave the courage to me to listen to this man, He's late now, wish he was around, Rest well to Both my lovely uncle Andreas Commando Malapi & S. Kekhana 😭
It's a universal church music in different languages but the same tune. A devoted catholic will understand the words in the local language. It's extremely nice and a great consoler. It's my mother's favourite music amidst great challenges.
I this new generation could smell were they are going heading with life 🤔 if i play this song they will lough at me! 😢 But I life it cz my father used to listen to it!
I don't understand the language, the music however flows with in my mind for the melodies are familiar..am clashing on this man's music. Much love from uganda
I'm from Zambia, this song is always new, even though I don't understand the language, so touching.
How I wish I could understand the language
1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve Thee to the end;
be Thou forever near me,
my Master and my Friend;
I shall not fear the battle
if Thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if Thou wilt be my Guide.
2 O let me feel Thee near me,
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear Thee speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control!
O speak, and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul!
4 O Jesus, Thou hast promised
to all who follow Thee
that where Thou art in glory
there shall Thy servant be;
and, Jesus, I have promised
to serve Thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my Master and my Friend!
I’m a Zambian🇿🇲 too
