Edith Wairimu - Nitasimama Lyrics
Lyrics
Adui aliomba anisiagasiage,
anisiagasiage kama ngano
Lakini Yesu aliomba
Mimi nisimame, mimi nisimame
Kwa wema wake
Adui aliitisha anisiagasiage,
Tena anipepete kama ngano
Lakini Yesu akasimama
Mimi nisimame, mimi nisimame
Kwa wema wake
Ndio leo nimesimama
Nimesimama, kwa rehema na neema yake
Ile gharama, ya uhai wangu
Yesu amelipa yote eeeh!
Mimi sitokofu sitozimia aah!
Nitasimama kwa wema wake
Mimi sitokofu sitozimia aah!
Nitasimama kwa wema wake
Nilipokaribia kitini cha enzi
Shetani alisema ni mchafu, huyu hafai
Yesu akasimama, akasema ona
Nimelipa gharama yake
(repeat *2)
Nimesimama, kwa rehema na neema yake
Ile gharama, ya uhai wangu
Yesu amelipa yote eeeh!
Mimi sitokofu sitozimia aah!
Nitasimama kwa wema wake
Mimi sitokofu sitozimia aah!
Nitasimama kwa wema wake
Adui alinizika, akasema nimeisha
Sitoonekana tena kamwe
Yesu alipofika, akaniita
Akaniita, akanipa uhai wake
Nimesimama, kwa rehema na neema yake
Ile gharama, ya uhai wangu
Yesu amelipa yote eeeh!
Mimi sitokofu sitozimia aah!
Nitasimama kwa wema wake
Mimi sitokofu sitozimia aah!
Nitasimama kwa wema wake
Shetani alete vita
Mimi sitokofu sitozimia aah!
Nitasimama kwa wema wake

Meaning & Inspiration
Edith Wairimu hit the nail on the head with her single Nitasimama, which arrived on September 29, 2023. When she sings about the enemy wanting to sift her like wheat, she isn't just making up catchy lyrics; she is pulling directly from the tension found in Luke 22:31-32. Jesus told Peter that Satan demanded to have him to sift him like wheat, but the crucial detail is that the Savior prayed for Peter’s faith to keep him from failing. Wairimu captures that exact theological victory here. She acknowledges that the adversary wants us broken and sifted, yet she anchors her entire stability in the intercessory work of Jesus. We see the doctrine of the High Priest who sits at the right hand of the Father, constantly advocating for the saints as mentioned in Hebrews 7:25.
The core of this song focuses on the finished work of the cross. When she sings that the price for her life has been paid in full, she points us straight to the exclamation of John 19:30. There is no room for works-based salvation or self-righteousness in her theology. Even when she describes standing before the throne and the enemy labeling her as dirty or unworthy, she refuses to let his lies stick because she relies on the blood of the Lamb. This brings to mind Zechariah 3, where Joshua the high priest stands before the Lord dressed in filthy rags while Satan accuses him; the Lord rebukes the accuser and gives Joshua clean garments instead. Wairimu knows exactly who holds the power to restore the fallen, shifting the focus from our past filth to His paid debt.
It is refreshing to hear a track that doesn't shy away from the reality of spiritual warfare while maintaining a defiant, joyful hope. She refuses to fade or faint, not because of her own internal grit, but because of His goodness. When she recounts the enemy burying her only for Jesus to reach into the grave and call her back to life, it is a clear nod to the power of the resurrection. Ephesians 2:5 tells us that even when we were dead in our trespasses, God made us alive together with Christ, and Wairimu’s lyrics feel like a personal testimony of that exact resurrection power. She isn't just surviving; she is standing firm on the grace that pulled her out of the dirt. If you ever feel like the enemy has written you off or buried your hope, this song forces you to look at the empty tomb and remember that the One who paid the price is the same One who commands you to stand.
