Lyrics
Nirahisi kinywa kujawa na lawama tele
Pale mambo yanapoonekana hayaendi
ni ajabu sana namna moyo unahangaika
Ajabu sana moyo unavyoonyesha mashaka yakwamba
japokuwa Mungu anaishi ndani yangu kuna muda nahofu,
Japokuwa Mungu anaketi kati yetu kuna muda nahofu, ahh
nakumbuka wana wa Israel katika bahari yashamu
Japo walikatiza katikati ya bahari kwa ushindi,
Kwa nyimbo nyingi waliimba na kumsifu Bwanaa.
Lakini baada ya kuvuka na kuliona jagwa
yalibadilika mambo, manung'unikoo yalisimama
Na kusahau muujiza alotenda Bwana Mwanzo aah.
Eee MUNGU Nisaidie ee eeh
Nikumbushe wema wako nisije laumu
Nikumbushe ukuu wako wakati wa Magumu
Nikumbushe shuhuda zako ili nikusifu
Niimbe wimbo wa sifa katikati ya machozi,
Niimbe wimbo wa sifa katikati ya machozi,
Eeh ee MUNGU Nisaidie
Nisaidie kukumbuka baba yakwamba umenichora
Kiganjani mwako kati ya wengi walioko duniani eenh
na mimi umenionaa oooh ooo
Nikumbushe baba yakwamba ni wewe umeniponya nilipoumwa
Yakwamba ni wewe mlipaji wa ada yangu shuleni.
ouoh ooh Yakwamba kama ungeniacha hatua moja
nisingelifika nilipo ooh eee Babaa
umenikung'uta mavumbi, kung'uta
mavumbi mimi na kuniheshimisha.
Nikumbushe wema wako nisije laumu
Nikumbushe ukuu wako wakati wa Magumu
Nikumbushe shuhuda zako ili nikusifu
Niimbe wimbo wa sifa katikati ya machozi
Niimbe wimbo wa sifa katikati ya machozi,
Nikumbushe wema wako nisije laumu
Nikumbushe ukuu wako wakati wa Magumu
Nikumbushe shuhuda zako ili nikusifu
Niimbe wimbo wa sifa katikati ya machozi
Niimbe wimbo wa sifa katikati ya machozi,
Yesu nakutazama ninakuamini wewe
Fungua maisha yangu, nisaidie nisilalamike
Mbele zako, katika hali zote nijue upo
Umesema hutaniacha eeh Yahweh

Meaning & Inspiration
Nikumbushe Wema Wako frames praise as an answer to fear, complaint, and forgetfulness during hardship. The opening reflects on how easily anxiety can rise even when faith remains present. Israel’s passage through the sea then becomes a warning: a remembered victory can quickly give way to murmuring when the next difficulty appears. Against that pattern, the chorus asks God to bring his goodness, greatness, and past acts back to mind so that praise can continue through tears.
The song becomes more personal as it names healing, provision, dignity, and God’s attentive care. These details make remembrance an active spiritual practice rather than nostalgia. Psalm 103 similarly calls the soul not to forget God’s benefits, while Exodus records both deliverance at the sea and the praise that followed. The closing appeal fixes attention on Jesus and asks for freedom from complaint. Its central message is that recollection of God’s faithfulness can steady praise when present circumstances seem uncertain.
