Christina Shusho - Yote Alimaliza Lyrics

Yote Alimaliza is a Swahili song about the finished work of Christ on the cross. The refrain says that He finished everything on the cross, and the verses name what He finished: all our troubles, all our cries, with Jesus as the one who finished it all. A bridge mentions the crown of thorns on the head and the spear in the side as part of what He endured.

The repeated words follow John 19:30, where Jesus says it is finished, with Isaiah 53:4-5 on bearing griefs and sorrows, Colossians 2:14 on the debt nailed to the cross, and Hebrews 10:12-14 on one sacrifice for sins. The simple structure and heavy repetition make the song a clear, reverent statement of the cross that a congregation can sing quietly and with growing conviction, and the tone is both solemn and hopeful.
