‘Le Lekaakang’ follows naturally from the previous two songs Mohapeloa wrote in his 3rd songbook, ‘’Mōpi oa Lefatše’ and ‘Lefatše le Letle’. All three serve to remind us of the importance of the Christian faith to Mohapeloa and his community in Morija, the village in Lesotho where he spent most of his life. These devotional songs are usually more hymn-like than the songs he wrote about nature, the land, or the country and its people, although they are nevertheless more in the nature of choir anthems than congregational hymns.
