Lyrics
You uuh you uuh you Lord You uuh you uuh you Lord You uuh you uuh you Lord You uuh you uuh you Lord
There are times in my life, huwa nimejazwa na uwoga mwingi I don't know where to start, sina fahamu wapi nianzie Then I am thinking to myself, ni nani atakaye nituliza Wewe ni mwanzo tena we mwisho Wewe ndiye ngao yangu ya maisha
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord I live for You uu you uuh you Lord I live for You uu you uuh you Lord I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
There are days in my life ,Huwa ninajipata nimeteleza And guilt inside me, Inanifanya nianguke Then I look into your word, Unavyonipenda mimi We ni Ngai, wee munene, Nishikilie leo na milele
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord I live for You uu you uuh you Lord I live for You uu you uuh you Lord I live for You uu you uuh you Lord
Nami so wacha nikushow bro Everywhere He goes watu wanagrow strong, so strong God created you to His specification His Grace is sufficient for this generation Ombi langu baba nikuwa katika kila ibada Nikuabudu, nikushukuru baba Nikupe sifa, nikuombe wadhifa Nikupe sifa, nikuombe maarifa
I live for You uu you uuh you Lord I live for You uu you uuh you Lord I live for You uu you uuh you Lord I live for You uu you uuh you Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
Listening to this, I keep getting stuck on that part where they talk about living for Him even when they’ve slipped up and feel that heavy guilt. It hits home. It’s like that feeling in Romans where Paul talks about doing the stuff he doesn't want to do. When the song says "Nishikilie leo na milele," it feels like a genuine cry for someone to actually grab hold of you because you can’t hold onto yourself anymore. It’s not just a nice melody; it’s a desperate admission that my own strength is basically zero when I’m staring at my own failures.
The part about God being the "mwanzo tena we mwisho"—the alpha and omega—kind of steadies things when everything feels chaotic. It pulls you out of your own head where you’re just spinning, trying to figure out where to start. It brings to mind how Christ is supposed to be the author and finisher, which makes sense if He’s the one actually doing the saving. But then the song pivots to this prayer for "wadhifa" and "maarifa," asking for a position and wisdom. I find myself wondering if I’m really ready for that, or if I’m just saying it because the music makes it feel safe. Am I actually living for Him, or am I just leaning on Him when I’m scared or messed up?
There’s this tension between His grace being sufficient—which is exactly what He told Paul—and this human desire to be given a specific job or status. I’m not sure if asking for a "wadhifa" is really what I should be doing when I’m already struggling to just stand upright without slipping. Is the song asking for grace to get through the day, or is it trying to negotiate a deal? It’s a bit messy, honestly, just like my own prayers. Maybe that’s the point, that He holds me anyway, even when I don’t quite know what I’m asking for or why I’m asking for it. I keep thinking, if He really is the shield, why do I spend so much time acting like I’m the one who needs to hold everything together?
