Unaona kama kila unachogusa kimeharibika
UJasiri wa kusema tena umetoweka
Maana kila unalosema wewe kama unakosea
Umechanganyikiwa ni Mungu ajua unayopitia
Na ukisema ueleze wengi kwao ni furaha
Wewe mwombe Mungu ubaki kimya
Na mengi umevumilia moyo umenyong'onyea
Hapo ulipo sasa ng'ang'ania tena
Na Mungu hajaruhusu jaribu kuliko uwezo wako.
Imani nusu ongeza utashinda.
Mungu hatoruhusu ufe kabla ya baraka zako
Imani nusu ongeza utashinda.
Zipo nyakati za furaha
Nawe utacheka tena usijali, Mungu yupo nawe.
Zipo nyakati za furaha
Nawe utacheka tena usijali, Mungu yupo nawe.
Oooh! Mmmh!
Moyo wako una majeraha haufai
Tena unasubiri kauli ya mwisho ya Mungu
Wapo wanaojua we huna mtoto wa kejeli
Wanaulizaga ana umri gani?
Tena wanaojua umefukuzwa kazi
Kwa kejeli wanaulizaga bosi wako yupo?
Ila nakwambia hayatodumu, ni nyakati tu.
Ila nakwambia hayatodumu, ni nyakati tu,
Hautobaki hapo haya ni mapito jipe moyo
Tazama juu mwombe Mungu ujasiri
Ni mapito tu jipe moyo mkuu
Mungu hajaruhusu jaribu kuliko uwezo wako
Imani nusu ongeza utashinda.
Mungu hatoruhusu ufe kabla ya baraka zako
Imani nusu ongeza utashinda.
Zipo nyakati za furaha
Nawe utacheka tenA, usijali Mungu yupo nawe.
Zipo nyakati za furaha
Nawe utacheka tena, usijali Mungu yupo nawe.
Hata wakizusha maneno ya uongo
Wakakwambia umemuasi Mungu
Uh ni sawa hawajui unakopita
Wakaja na unabii wakasema
umefika mwisho wako wewe
Ni sawa hawajui unakopita oooh!
Wakainuka ndugu wa karibu, wakakusema ovyo ovyo
Ni sawa hawajui unakopita
Ikawa kila kitu ni kimya marafiki ni kimya ooh
Ni sawa hawajui unakopita
Kama ndoa ni yako lakini ndani ni uadui
Ni sawa hawajui unakopita
Ila
Zipo nyakati za furaha
Nawe utacheka tenA, usijali Mungu yupo nawe.
Zipo nyakati za furaha
Nawe utacheka tena, usijali Mungu yupo nawe.
Zipo nyakati za furaha
Nawe utacheka tenA, usijali Mungu yupo nawe.
Laa laa lala!

Nyakati Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
Goodluck Gozbert’s song "Nyakati," released on January 9, 2020, offers a profound reflection on the various seasons of life and the unwavering truth of God’s perfect timing. From its release, the song quickly resonated with many, addressing a universally understood experience: that life unfolds in phases, marked by highs and lows, beginnings and endings, moments of joy and periods of waiting. The core message of "Nyakati," which translates to "Times" or "Seasons," is a powerful reminder that despite the unpredictability and challenges we face, there is a divine plan at work, and everything happens according to God's set schedule.
The song explores the tension between human desires for immediate results and the often-slow, deliberate unfolding of God's purposes. It speaks to the frustration of waiting, the pain of loss, the uncertainty of transition, and the eventual arrival of breakthrough. This narrative arc mirrors the journey of faith, where patience and trust are constantly tested. Rather than offering simplistic answers, "Nyakati" acknowledges the reality of difficult times – the seasons of weeping, sowing in tears, or enduring hardship – but anchors these experiences in the hope that these periods are not permanent, but rather temporary phases within a larger divine framework.
Analyzing "Nyakati" through the lens of Scripture illuminates its deep roots in biblical wisdom concerning time and sovereignty. The song echoes the timeless message found in Ecclesiastes chapter 3, which famously declares that "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." This passage outlines a comprehensive list of contrasting times – a time to be born and a time to die, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to tear down and a time to build up – illustrating the cyclical nature of earthly existence under God's control. "Nyakati" encourages us to find peace in this truth, trusting that even the most challenging seasons serve a purpose within God's grand design, a theme reinforced in Jeremiah 29:11, which assures us that God's plans are for welfare and a future with hope.
Furthermore, the song implicitly challenges the human tendency to try and control the timeline of our lives, advocating instead for surrender to divine providence. Proverbs 16:9 reminds us that while "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." This underscores the song's message that our efforts are part of the process, but the ultimate timing and outcome rest in God's hands. The waiting periods addressed in "Nyakati" are not merely times of inactivity but can be seasons of growth, preparation, and strengthening faith, much like Habakkuk 2:3 teaches about waiting for a vision that "awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay." Goodluck Gozbert's song beautifully captures this principle, urging perseverance and faith during the waiting. The song serves as an anthem for resilience, reminding everyone navigating life's unpredictable flow that their times are in God's hands, as Psalm 31:15 declares, "My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my pursuers!" By connecting the struggles and triumphs of life to the overarching theme of God's impeccable timing, "Nyakati" offers not just musical comfort, but a profound, Scripture-backed perspective that encourages unwavering trust in the One who holds all seasons in His hands.
