Lyrics
Nina neno leo nataka niongee nanyi
Nina ujumbe kwenyu nataka niongee nanyi
Nimetumwa kwenyu nataka niwape habari
Nataka nizungumze na watoto wa Afrika
Katika mapito Yetu Bwana atatukumbuka
Njaa inayotukumbuka Bwana atatukumbuka
Vita zinazotukumba Bwana atatukumbuka
Magonjwa yanayotutesa, Bwana atatukumbuka
Nimetumwa nizungumze na watoto wa Afrika
Kanisa tumsifu Mungu maana tumepewa neema
Wahubiri hubirini kwa kweli maana tumepewa neema
Wana Afrika tumwabudu Mungu, Maana tumepewa neema
Ni Nee Neema Nee neema, Ni Nee Neema Nee neema,
Tusipoomba kwa bidii hakuna atakayekula mali za jo*
Tusipo omba kwa bidii hakuna atakeyekuja maliza vita
Tusiposhikama hakuna atakayevunja hali za magonjwa
Tusiposimama wenyewe hakuna atakayekuja kututetea

Meaning & Inspiration
“Ni Neema” presents grace as a gift that calls the church to praise, worship, prayer, and faithful action. The verses speak to children of Africa amid hunger, war, illness, and other hardships, while repeatedly affirming that the Lord remembers those who suffer. Its central refrain turns that assurance into communal praise: God deserves worship because grace has been given.
The song also connects prayer with solidarity and perseverance. Rather than treating grace as an excuse for passivity, the later lines urge people to pray earnestly, stand together, and take responsibility in the face of conflict and disease. This emphasis is consistent with Hebrews 4:16, where believers approach God’s throne of grace for mercy and timely help. Psalm 46:1 also closely matches the song’s confidence that God remains a present refuge during trouble. The result is a message of hope rooted in divine help and expressed through united praise and action.
