Quick Overview
Archbishop Desmond Tutu defined the Nguni Bantu word "ubuntu" as "I am, because you are." Inspired by these words, Ken Medema uses "ubuntu" in this highly memorable, rhythmically driven song that celebrates the communion shared, the justice done, and the path forward that is possible when we come together to worship God in this fellowship that knows no bounds. This easy-to-learn piece is suitable as a congregational song for a variety of purposes.
