Lyrics
Verse 1
Sasa naapa Hakuna miungu ntaamini
Satajitia unajisi , Chakula cha ufalme
Na Sitauza urithi wa wokovu, anasa za Kisasa
NiNa uhakika waweza , waweza kuniponya,
Hata usipo niponya Sitaabudu Masanamu
Chorus
Naelewa maji na moto nitapita, Kwenye uvuli wa mauti
Nina wewe sitaogopa kamwe
Mungu wangu wanishika mkono,Wautuliza moyo wangu,
Si na mashaka wanibeba mgongoni
Waweza tuma neno la uzima, libadishe yote
Hata usiyafanye hayo yoote
Bado nitaamini
Verse 2
Si Mara y’a kwanza kunitowa katika magumu
Ni na ushuhuda zaidi ya moja, We ni mwaminifu
Ni na historia maalum,We ni chemchemi ya uzima.
Outro
Nitaamini, bado nitaamini
Ukiniponya nitaamini, Hata usiniponye bado nitaamini
Ukinijibu nitaamini , Hata usinijibu bado nitaamini
Ukibadilisha nitaamini , Hata usibadilishe bado nitaamini
Kwenye uvuli wa mauti bado nitaamini
Nina ushuhuda, wewe ni mwaminifu

Meaning & Inspiration
"Nitaamini," meaning "I will believe," centers on a faith that refuses to make God's goodness conditional. The opening lines vow loyalty to no other gods and a refusal to trade the inheritance of salvation for passing pleasures. Even if healing does not come, the speaker will not bow to idols—a striking commitment that trust in God stands apart from earthly outcomes.
The chorus acknowledges real danger: waters, fire, and the shadow of death. Yet the presence of God removes terror. Being held by the hand and carried on the back suggests a faith grounded in divine nearness, not in an escape from suffering. The request for a word of life to change everything is paired with the admission that even if nothing changes, belief remains.
The second verse draws on memory—past deliverance, multiple testimonies, God as a faithful spring of living water. This history sustains the present confession. The outro repeats the refrain through every possibility: healed or not, answered or not, transformed or not. The song presents faith not as a transaction but as an enduring allegiance shaped by who God has already proven to be.
