In the Xhosa language, the word "Bawo" is used to refer to the Father.

In church we sang a song with the lyrics...

Amen, we praise your name, oh God.
Amen, we praise your name, oh God.
Amen, Bawo. Amen, Bawo.
Amen, we praise your name, oh,God.

Do any of you know the meaning of the word "Bawo" used in this context?

Thank you!
