Langa
My man is from Grahamstown.
He is not the king of the town, but he is
Of my heart.
Langa,
God had me go back,
And had us waiting for the Perfect time-
God's time.
I know for you,
It's all happening at God's speed.
But God's time;
- To bring us into union.
Into Love. His Love.
Into Him. He is Love.
I was lost, but now I'm found.
Langa, you had me at "God-given".
Reneiloe Langa.
