Lyrics
Verse 1
Kale nilitembea
Nikilemewa dhambi
Nilikosa msaada
Kuniponya mateso
(x2)
Chorus
Usifiwe msalaba
Lisifiwe kaburi
Linalozidi yote
Asifiwe mwokozi
(x2)
Verse 2
Hata nilipofika
Mahali pa msalaba
Palinifaa sana
Sitasahau kamwe
Verse 3
Hicho ndicho chanzo
Cha kufurahi kwangu
Hapo ndipo mzigo
Uliponituliwa
(x3)
Chorus
Usifiwe msalaba
Lisifiwe kaburi
Linalozidi yote
Asifiwe mwokozi
Verse 4
Panapo msalaba
Kinatolewa cheti
Cha kuingia mbinguni
Kisicho cha kanisa
Chorus
Usifiwe msalaba
Lisifiwe kaburi
Linalozidi yote
Asifiwe mwokozi yule
Spoken Outro
Bwana mjinga
Likwenda bila
Cheti kitumai kwingia
Kama walio
nacho lipofika langoni akaulizwa cheti cha kumwonyesha Bwana akakutwa hanacho lituhuzunishalo ni ninyi msio nacho
kuwa kama mjinga
kwa siku ya arusi ubavuni mwa Yesu mlitokea damu chemchemi ya uzima itakasayo roho jitahidi wingie damuni mwa mwokozi utafutiwa dhambi toka rohoni mwako

Meaning & Inspiration
In Mbarikiwa Mwakipesile’s recording of Tenzi No. 22, the testimony moves from the weight of sin toward relief found at the cross. The recurring refrain centers praise on the Savior, and the spoken closing turns the hymn into an exhortation about spiritual readiness.
