(Why are you delaying sons, daughters?) Chikuchedweranji? Lapani, lapani. (Why the delay? Repent, repent.) Panthaka apa papitatu anthu. (In this soil, people have gone.) Anzeru zawo ambiri apita. (Many of the wise have also gone.) Azipembedzo zambiri apita (Many of the religious have also gone.) Tangosala mwina, inu ndi ine. (We are remaining, you and me.)

"Praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD Who minister by night in the house of the LORD." -Psalm 134:1 (NIV)

about

Inspiration for this album comes from the Songs of Ascents in the Psalms (Ps 120-134). These ‘pilgrim songs’ were sung by God’s people on their annual journey up to Jerusalem to worship God.

The Youth of the Africa Evangelical Church are also on a journey, to the heavenly Jerusalem. These are their songs, offered in praise to their Saviour Jesus Christ who is the Way, the Truth and the Life for this Journey (John 14:6).

Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD,
who walks in his ways!
Psalm 128:1

These modern day 'Songs of Ascents' are sung in Chichewa to a contemporary African music style.
