Lyrics
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, ooh
Yesu sio mwizi lakini
Ameuiba moyo yangu
Yesu si polisi anifunge
Ananibeba bembeleza
Yeye ni rafiki wa dhati
Akiahidi lazima atatenda
Yesu ni mfalme wa amani
Kuwa karibu na yeye natamani
Yesu sio mwizi lakini
Ameuiba moyo yangu
Yesu si polisi anifunge
Ananibeba bembeleza
Yeye ni rafiki wa dhati
Akiahidi lazima atatenda
Yesu ni mfalme wa amani
Kuwa karibu na yeye natamani
Yesu Yesu ni rafiki nimemuona dhabiti
Yesu Yesu rafiki, ahadi zake kweli
Yesu Yesu ni rafiki nimemuona dhabiti
Yesu Yesu rafiki, ahadi zake kweli
(Singing local)
Yesu Yesu ni rafiki nimemuona dhabiti
Yesu Yesu rafiki, ahadi zake kweli
Yesu Yesu ni rafiki nimemuona dhabiti
Yesu Yesu rafiki, ahadi zake kweli
Kumtegemea Yesu ni utamu sana
Kukubali neno lake raha moyoni
Kumtegemea Yesu ni utamu sana
Kwake daima nimepata uzima na amani
Kumtegemea Yesu ni utamu sana
Kukubali neno lake raha moyoni
Kumtegemea Yesu ni utamu sana
Kwake daima nimepata uzima na amani
Yesu Yesu ni rafiki nimemuona dhabiti

Akiahidi kitu lazima atatenda
Ahadi zake kweli
Mungu ni mwaminifu ooh
Ahadi zake kweli
Ahadi za kweli
Ahadi zake kweli

Meaning & Inspiration
Yesu Sio Mwizi uses affectionate, playful imagery to describe closeness to Jesus. The central phrase about Jesus taking the singer’s heart is immediately explained through friendship, comfort, peace, and a desire to remain near him. Repetition reinforces confidence in his character: his promises are true, his word can be trusted, and dependence on him brings life and peace. The lyric therefore moves from a memorable comparison into a steady confession of faithfulness.
Jesus’ description as a true friend corresponds closely with John 15:15, where he calls his disciples friends. The repeated declaration that divine promises are true and “Amina” also clearly echoes 2 Corinthians 1:20, which says that God’s promises find their Yes in Christ. Proverbs 3:5 provides a further parallel for the lines about depending on Jesus and accepting his word. Together, these themes present Christian trust as relational rather than abstract: the singer rests in Christ’s nearness, relies on what he says, and finds peace in his dependable care.
