Nimekubali nasema ndio Bwana
Kwako ni salama nasema ndio
Nimekubali nasema ndio Bwana
Najitoa kwako dhabihu iliyo hai Bwana nitumie
Verse 1
Bwana anatafuta watakaomwabudu kwa roho na kweli
Na wakati ndio huu naamini umefika
Nisaidie kutenda kulingana mapenzi yako
Kutembea na maagizo yako moyoni mwangu

Mimi ni chombo mikononi mwako Yahweh
Tena ni udongo na wewe mfinyazi baba, nifinyange nitengeneze
Uishe nafsi yangu chochote utakacho mimi nitatenda

Oooh niumbie, niumbie moyo safi, ili niweze kukutukuza
Bwana nitengeneze kwa ajili ya jina lako baba
Wala usinitenganishe na uwepo wako
Mimi bwana eeeh nimekubali njia zako baba
Nasema ndio kwako baba

Meaning & Inspiration
"Nimekubali - Nasema Ndio Bwana" is a Swahili surrender song whose title translates as "I have agreed, I say yes, Lord." The recurring refrain frames the whole song as a decision already made: safety is found in God, and the singer offers themself as a living sacrifice, asking to be used. A middle verse widens that personal surrender into a broader observation, that God is looking for those who will worship Him in spirit and truth, and asks for help living according to His instructions. Later lines lean on the image of clay and potter, describing the singer as a vessel in God's hands, asking to be shaped and formed according to His purpose regardless of the outcome. The closing verse asks for a clean heart and pleads not to be separated from God's presence, repeating the same yes offered at the start. Built from short, direct requests rather than narrative, the song functions as a personal prayer of consecration suited to a quiet, reflective moment in worship.
