Chris van der Westhuizen

Ek is Joune in die lewenstryd,
Gees teenoor verganklikheid.
Met die swaard sal ek veg
Vir saad op die lande.

Sodat vlees kan vergees
En my swaard kan verskerp -
Op daai Rots in die water.

Sodat die saad sal ontkiem
In die vrugbare grond
Op elke nuwe aarde.

Sodat mensekind rus kan vind.
Die ewigheid kan beërwe.

God, I Am Yours

I am Yours in life’s fierce fight,
Spirit set against fading light.
With the sword I will stand
For seed in the land.

That flesh may relent,
And my blade be made keen
On that Rock in the stream.

So the seed may take root
In the soil made new
On each earth born anew.

So humankind may find rest - 
And inherit eternal blessedness.
