Lyrics
Nimeamua Yesu kuwa mwokozi wangu
Kwani yeye rafiki mwema kwangu
Nipitapo kwenye bonde la uvuli wa mauti
Ananipa faraja na ushindi
Nimeamua Yesu kuwa mwokozi wangu
Kwani yeye rafiki mwema kwangu
Nipitapo kwenye bonde la uvuli wa mauti
Ananipa faraja na ushindi
Alijitoa msalabani akanikomboa
Bila sababu yoyote akanipenda Yesu
Alijitoa msalabani akanikomboa
Bila malipo yoyote ananipenda
Alijitoa msalabani akanikomboa
Bila sababu yoyote akanipenda Yesu
Alijitoa msalabani akanikomboa
Bila malipo yoyote ananipenda
Upendo wako Baba wanizunguka
Mbele na nyuma
Upendo wako Baba wanizunguka
Kushoto kulia
Upendo wako Baba wanizunguka

Meaning & Inspiration
“Alijitoa Msalabani” is a confession of trust in Jesus as Savior, friend, comforter, and redeemer. The verses place that trust amid the valley of death’s shadow, where Christ’s presence brings consolation and victory. Its chorus centers the cross, celebrating sacrificial love as a gift that cannot be earned or purchased. The repeated lines give the declaration a communal worship character while keeping its focus on personal gratitude.
The lyric also describes the Father’s love as surrounding the singer on every side. That image supports the song’s sense of safety: danger may be near, but divine care is nearer. Psalm 23:4 is directly echoed in the reference to the valley of death’s shadow and the comfort found there. Ephesians 5:2 also closely matches the chorus by describing Christ’s love and self-giving sacrifice. Together, these themes make the song both a testimony of salvation and an act of adoration for love shown at the cross.
