Verse 1
Bwana ni nuru yangu na wokovu wangu
Nimwogope nani?
Eti nimwogope nani?
Duniani hapa nimwogope nani?
Nimwogope nani?
Nimwogope nani?
Wanataja magari
Wanataja farasi
Na vitu vidogo vidogo, vidogo vidogo tu
Lakini mimi, ninalitaja
Jina la Yesu! Jina la Yesu!
Nakutegemea Wewe (x3)
Wewe, nakutegemea Wewe
Chorus
Sina wa kutegemea
Ila Wewe Yesu (x2)

Wanataja magari
Wanataja farasi
Eti mwingine anajivunia gari lake, sikiliza:
Kuna mwingine anajivunia gari na kanyumba,
Tugari tutatu...
Lakini nilikwambie: Tunaye Tajiri wa matajiri!
Yuko ndani yangu, yuko ndani yako,
Amesema hataniacha mpaka mwisho wa dahari,
Hallelujah!
Wanataja magari
Wanataja farasi
Na tuvitu tudogo tudogo twa duniani hapa
Lakini sisi jamani,
Tunalitaja jina... Jina!

Meaning & Inspiration
“Sina Wa Kutegemea” is performed by Essence of Worship with Boaz Danken. The official video description points directly to Psalm 20:7, which contrasts trust in chariots and horses with remembrance of the Lord’s name. The song turns that contrast into its recurring confession: Jesus alone is dependable. Its opening questions also echo Psalm 27:1, naming the Lord as light and salvation before asking whom there is to fear.
The arrangement moves between a repeated congregational chorus, declarations of strength and ability, and a spoken ministry passage that applies the biblical contrast to money, houses, and other signs of security. Repetition is central rather than decorative: “Nakutegemea Wewe” and “Sina wa kutegemea” keep returning after each example of human dependence. The final addition of “Uchumi wangu ni Wewe” brings material provision into the same confession, closing the recording on reliance on Jesus rather than possessions.
