Brother Enock - Damu Yatiririka Lyrics

“Damu Yatiririka,” which means “The blood is flowing,” by Brother Enock puts the cross at the center of one short confession: “Damu ya Kalivari hata sasa yatiririka,” the blood of Calvary is flowing even now. The repetition makes the blood of Jesus a present reality and not only a past event.

The verse calls it “damu ya Mungu wangu,” the blood of my God, and says it has overcome all death and is able to do all things. The closing lines give the reason for the song: Jesus died on the cross so that the singer might be saved, and the word “aleluyah” turns the confession into worship.

These ideas are close to Hebrews 9:14, which speaks of the blood of Christ cleansing the conscience, 1 John 1:7, which says the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin, and Revelation 12:11, where believers overcome by the blood of the Lamb. The song does not explain doctrine at length; it keeps one image in front of the listener until it becomes a settled conviction of victory through the cross.
