Lyrics
Kwa muda mengi nimeteseka aah
Nikuugua magonjwa sugu yaliyoshinda madakitari
Yaliyoshinda wenyi hekima wa dunia
Nilizunguka dunia kote eeh
Nikitafuta uponyaji wangu sikupata
Wewe Mungu umeniponya bure Baba
Umeniponya bila malipo Yesu umeniponya kwa damu yako
Kama sio wewe nitamwabudu nani
Kama sio wewe nitamwabudu nani
Umesikia Baba
Umesikia kilio changu ukanitoa shimoni Yesu
Ukanifanya kiumbe kipya kama sio wewe nitamwabudu nani
Kama sio wewe nitamwabudu nani
Umeniondolea aibu Yesu nilikataliwa ulinikubali Baba
Ulinikubali jinsi nilivyo ukaniokoa kwa damu yako Jehovah
Ukanikomboa kwa damu yako ukanijaza kwa damu yako
Kama sio wewe nitamwabudu nani
Kama sio wewe nitamwabudu nani Kama si wewe
Umesikia kilio changu ukanitoa shimoni Yesu
Ukanifanya kiumbe kipya kama sio wewe nitamwabudu nani
Kama sio wewe nitamwabudu nani
Wewe ni kinga kwa wanyonge wote Baba
Wewe ni kinga kwa wasiojiweza
Wakikumbilia hakuna aibu
Wewe ni Mungu usiyebagua aah
Wewe ni Mungu haulinganishwi
Unapenda wote Mungu muumba aah
Nimekuchagua kati ya miungu Yesu
Kwa damu yako nimekombolewa umeyavuta laana yangu
Umebadilisha historia Bwana
Kama sio wewe nitamwabudu nani Kama si wewe
Umesikia kilio changu ukanitoa shimoni Yesu
Ukanifanya kiumbe kipya kama sio wewe nitamwabudu nani
Kama sio wewe nitamwabudu nani

Meaning & Inspiration
Umeskia Kilio Changu presents a testimony of rescue, healing, acceptance, and redemption. The singer remembers prolonged suffering and unsuccessful searches for relief, then attributes healing freely to Jesus. The recurring question about whom else to worship makes gratitude the central response. Images of being lifted from a pit, made new, accepted after rejection, and redeemed by blood give the testimony both personal urgency and a clear Christian focus.
The refrain strongly recalls Psalm 40:1-3, where God hears a cry and lifts the psalmist from a destructive pit. Its language about becoming a new creation also directly echoes 2 Corinthians 5:17. Later lines describe God as protection for the weak and as one who receives people without discrimination. Together, these themes portray divine mercy as the answer to shame, illness, helplessness, and rejection. The song moves from remembered affliction to open praise, grounding worship in the saving action it declares that God has already performed.
