Lyrics
Amini amini nakwambia
Amini amini ujumbe mpya
Yeye aliyemwamini Bwana, anao uzima
Ni mwokozi aliyenifia
Nitoke dhambini alisema
Yeye aliyemwamini Bwana anao uzima
Amini amini nakwambia
Amini amini ujumbe mpya
Yeye aliyemwamini Bwana, anao uzima
Dhambi zangu zote zilichukuliwa
Deni zangu zote zilipwa
Wote waliomwamini Bwana, wanao uzima
Amini amini nakwambia
Amini amini ujumbe mpya
Yeye aliyemwamini Bwana, anao uzima
Ijapo ningekuwa maskini
Ijapo ningekuwa mkosaji
Neno la furaha la mwokozi, ninao uzima
Amini amini nakwambia
Amini amini ujumbe mpya
Yeye aliyemwamini Bwana, anao uzima
Na sina shaka nitamwamini
Yeye ajaye kwake hatupwi
Amwaminiye tuma habari, tunao uzima

Meaning & Inspiration
“Amini Amini Nakwambia” announces the life found through faith in the Lord. Its repeated Swahili refrain, meaning “truly, truly, I tell you,” gives the song the character of a gospel proclamation. The verses identify Christ as the Savior who died to free sinners, carried sin, and paid the debt. Eternal life is presented not as a reward for wealth or moral status, but as the gift received by the one who believes.
The song also moves from personal testimony to a message meant to be shared. Poverty and guilt do not cancel the joyful word of salvation, and the assurance that the one coming to Christ is not cast away closely reflects Jesus’ promise in John 6. Repetition keeps belief, forgiveness, and life at the center. In this way, the song joins confidence in Christ with evangelistic urgency: those who trust the Savior possess life and are called to carry that news to others.
