Verse 1




  • Swahili:
    Omba utapewa,
    Tafuta utapata,
    Bisha utafunguliwa,
    Asema Bwana.
    Yeye ni mwaminifu,
    Ameshasema anafanya.




  • English Translation:
    Ask and it will be given to you,
    Seek and you will find,
    Knock and the door will be opened to you,
    Says the Lord.
    He is Faithful,
    What He says, He does.






Chorus




  • Swahili:
    Bisha, bisha, bisha, bisha,
    Bisha utafunguliwa.




  • English Translation:
    Knock, knock, knock, knock,
    Knock and the door will be opened for you.






Post-Chorus




  • Swahili:
    Usikate tamaa,
    Mungu ni mwaminifu,
    Ameshasema anafanya.




  • English Translation:
    Don't lose hope,
    God is Faithful,
    What He says, He does.






Verse 2




  • Swahili:
    Paulo na Sila,
    Pale gerezani,
    Usiku wa manane,
    Waliomba na kusifu.




  • English Translation:
    Paul and Silas,
    In prison,
    About midnight,
    Were praying and singing hymns.






Bridge




  • Swahili:
    Ghafla!
    Nchi katetemeka,
    Gereza likatingika,
    Minyororo ikakatika,
    Milango ikafunguka.




  • English Translation:
    Suddenly!
    Violent earthquake,
    Foundations of the prison were shaken,
    Chains came loose,
    Prison doors flew open.

Meaning & Inspiration

"Bisha Bisha" turns the command to ask, seek, and knock into a rhythmic declaration of trust. The repeated Swahili verb for knocking is not presented as a technique for getting God’s attention but as an expression of confidence: the door will open because God has already spoken. The chorus and post-chorus anchor that confidence in divine character, affirming that God is faithful and that what He says, He does.

The second verse recalls Paul and Silas imprisoned at midnight, praying and singing hymns. Their praise does not manufacture a miracle; it accompanies one. The earthquake loosens chains and opens doors, echoing the promise earlier in the song. The sequence moves from instruction to testimony, linking the teaching of Jesus to an act of deliverance recorded in Acts.

The song’s theology remains simple yet firm: perseverance in prayer rests on the reliability of God, not on human persistence alone. The repeated knocking becomes less about volume and more about stillness, waiting on a promise already given. Each refrain returns to the same faithfulness, making the song a quiet refrain of assurance rather than a demand for proof.
