Lyrics
Chisomo chanu, ndi chomwe ndifuna x2
I am saved, by Your Grace
I am delivered by Your Grace
I am sponsored, by Your Grace
I have made it, by Your Grace
You Grace has brought me through
Your Mercy speaks for Me
Lord, I am lifted by Your Grace
I made it by Your Grace
What can I do without Your Grace?
Where would I be without Your Grace?
You made it easy by Your Grace
I am going by Your Grace
I cannot miss it with
My road is clear, by
With Your Grace I cannot fail
I am a Winner by Your Grace
When my enemies were trying to pull me down
Lord You lifted me up
And open up many opportunities
Some of them are trying to limit my life
Lord You break it down and put a new road
Noma ndifuna be (But I still need)

Meaning & Inspiration
“Chisomo” builds its message around grace as the source of salvation, deliverance, progress, and confidence. The Chichewa refrain, expressing a continuing need for grace, is reinforced by English lines that attribute every victory to God rather than personal strength. Mercy is pictured as speaking on the singer’s behalf, and grace as the help that carries the singer through opposition and opens a way forward.
The song’s repeated questions about life without grace underline dependence rather than entitlement. Its testimony of being lifted when enemies attempted to pull the singer down gives that dependence a concrete setting. This emphasis closely reflects the biblical teaching that salvation is received by grace and not earned by works. It also recalls Paul’s account of divine grace being sufficient in weakness. Through simple repetition and personal confession, the song presents grace as God’s active favor in rescue, endurance, opportunity, and hope.
