Lyrics
Nani awezaye nipenda
Zaidi ninavyostahili
Uchungu wa msumari, angestahimili
Nimpate wapi
Nwingine kama wewe
Nuru yangu gizani
Amani yangu mawimbini
Nimpate wapi
Mwingine kama wewe
Sina mwingine, ila wewe
Sitaki mwingine, ila wewe
Sina mwingine, ila wewe
Sitaki mwingine, ila wewe
Mpole wa hasira
Mwingi wa rehema
Mungu usiyebagua
Mbele zako tuko sawa
Unyonge na udhaifu wangu
Huchoki nao
Pendo lako, huruma zako
Hazina kifani, nimpate wapi
Kipenzi kama wewe
Nipate wapi rafiki kama wewe
Sina mwingine, ila wewe
Sitaki mwingine, ila wewe
Sina mwingine, ila wewe
Sitaki mwingine, ila wewe
Sina mwingine, ila wewe
Sitaki mwingine, ila wewe
Sina mwingine, ila wewe
Sitaki mwingine, ila wewe
Sina mwingine, ila wewe
Sitaki mwingine, ila wewe

Meaning & Inspiration
Sina Mwingine is a Swahili declaration of exclusive trust and affection toward God. The verses describe love beyond what the singer deserves, the suffering of the nails, light in darkness, and peace amid waves. Against those images, the refrain answers that there is no other desired refuge. The song also praises God as slow to anger, abundant in mercy, impartial, and patient with human weakness. Its language combines worship with gratitude for compassion that has no equal.
The description of God as merciful and slow to anger closely echoes Psalm 103:8. The reference to the pain of the nails points toward the crucifixion account in John 20:25, where the marks in Jesus' hands are specifically mentioned. Acts 10:34 supports the confession that God shows no partiality. These connections remain close to the lyric's own claims: divine love is seen through Christ's suffering, mercy meets frailty without weariness, and God remains an unmatched light, peace, beloved, and friend. The repeated refrain gives that conviction a clear worshipful response.
