Lyrics

(Still Alive)


Sirudi nyuma ni mbele
Mbele na Yesu
Sikati tamaa ni naye 
Ni naye Yesu


Sirudi nyuma ni mbele
Mbele na Yesu
Sikati tamaa ni naye 
Ni naye Yesu


Amejua kunisafisha Mungu
Amejua kuniondolea uchungu
Amejua kunivika utukufu
Na sasa mi mtu huru


Aliye na ubora wangu huyu Yesu
Hata niliivyo onekana si kitu
Hakujali historia yangu huyu Yesu
Sasa nimeinuliwa juu


Sirudi nyuma ni mbele
Mbele na Yesu
Sikati tamaa ni naye 
Ni naye Yesu


Sirudi nyuma ni mbele
Mbele na Yesu
Sikati tamaa ni naye 
Ni naye Yesu

Meaning & Inspiration

"Sirudi Nyuma" centers on steady commitment to move forward with Jesus rather than return to a former way of life. Its repeated declaration joins perseverance with confidence: discouragement does not have the final word because Christ remains present. The verses describe cleansing, relief from pain, restored dignity, freedom, and elevation after a troubled history. These statements present salvation as a decisive change in identity while keeping gratitude at the center.

The song's language closely echoes the biblical picture of leaving the past behind and pressing toward what lies ahead. It also treats freedom as the work of Christ, not as personal achievement. Repetition gives the central confession the character of a public pledge: the singer will not lose hope or turn back. Within its Swahili praise setting, the lyric celebrates Jesus as the one who removes shame, gives honor, and makes continued faithfulness possible.
