It helps to know the background of Kumbayah, the origin of the song, the
meaning of the term, etc.  It had its roots in an ancient language as
recorded by a Christian missionary who went to an African village and met
with great success in guiding souls to salvation.  The missionary was
inspired by the Christian youth of that village who used this term in their
conversations during church functions, and thus wrote the song, which is
known and loved in religious circles to this day.  The native speakers of
that language are always delighted to hear this term used in various parts
of the world, for the actual meaning of the term "kumbayah" is "go fuck
yourself."  

Now let us sing...
