The song Mpumi Mtsweni – Phaphamani (a live Zulu gospel track calling believers to spiritual awakening and warfare) was released as a single on January 30, 2026. It draws from traditional South African hymn structures, urging the church to rise, arm with faith, and conquer through God’s power.

| Wake up, brothers and sisters in Christ! |
| Wake up, it’s already morning! |
| Arm yourselves with weapons, brothers and sisters |
| You are still overcome by sleep, oh |
| Wake up, congregation! |
| Don’t you see the enemies? |
| Arm yourselves with the weapons of faith |
| Through the Almighty, we will conquer, yes! |
| Wake up, brothers and sisters in Christ! |

| Are they not our enemies? |
| Satan has risen against us, brothers and sisters |
| Shall we allow him? Never! |
| Hey, wake up |
| Wake up, congregation! |
| Don’t you see the enemies? |
| Arm yourselves with the weapons of faith |
| Through the Almighty, we will conquer, yes! |

| Do not retreat, not even a little |
| Do not look back, brothers and sisters |
| Be courageous indeed |
| Wake up |
| Wake up, congregation! |
| Don’t you see the enemies? |
| Arm yourselves with the weapons of faith |
| Through the Almighty, we will conquer, yes! |
| Through the Almighty, we will conquer, yes! |
| Through the Almighty, we will conquer, yes! |
| Through the Almighty, we will conquer, yes! |
