Let us come together let us join as one
Let us turn our faces to the rising Son
Let us go up to Zion, to God's holy hill
A mighty army that will worship him
We will worship Him, we will worship Him
Jesus, He's our King, we will worship Him
In the time of war, we will rise and sing
To the glory of our God, we will worship Him
Jesu Inkosi, Jesu Inkosi, Jesu Inkosi, Jesu Inkosi
It is time for battle, it is time for war
as we sing hosanna as we praise the Lord
He will still the accuser, crush the enemy
As we celebrate God's victory

Behind the Song:"We will worship him was written when I was about 21 and living in
Cape Town, South Africa. The long struggle against Apartheid was
almost over and there was a euphoric rejoicing at the miracle that was
taking place. It seemed as if over night an enormous change in the
collective consciousness of the country occurred. Suddenly cultures
that had been so long divided were uniting in a way that hinted at the
unity God brings when His kingdom reigns. The song rejoices in the
community God brings under Jesus, no matter what our race or
culture or age or preferences (1 Peter 2.9-10). When we give him
spiritual authority by honoring Him he fights our battles for us,
silencing the Accuser of His people (Matt 21.16/Ps 8.1-3) and bringing
the peace of His Kingdom into our lives and our nations. The real
bonus for me was getting to worship God together with Ladysmith
Black Mambazo in the studio. Just 20 years earlier doing this would
probably have resulted in the unwanted attention of the ruling
apartheid regime. Now a group of Zulu musicians from Durban and a
white boy from Cape Town could come together without fear and
worship God together. It will remain one of the highlights of my
worshiping life. Although the church hasn't always got it right in the
past, especially in South Africa, for me this song expresses the hope
we have in God for peace and unity when we lift our eyes to our
Creator and worship Him." - Brenton Brown
