Lyrics
Ndashaka kuririmbira Yesu
Yaj' ar' Umwami w'igikundiro
Yarababajwe ndetse no gupfa
Kugira ngw'ambature mu byaha
Nzahora ndirimbira Yesu
Kubw' urukundo yangiriye
Yanyishyu riy' imyenda yose
Yarambohoye muri byose
Nd'uwo guhamy'iby'urworukundo
Rwabonetse mu Mukiza wanjye
Cyane cyan' uko yaj' akankiza
Kandi nar' uwo kurimbuka
Nzahora ndirimbira Yesu
Kubw' urukundo yangiriye
Yanyishyu riy' imyenda yose
Yarambohoye muri byose
Ndashimir' uwo Mukiza wanjye
Kubw' ububasha bwe butangaje
Kandi niw'unshyiramw imbaraga
Zo kunesh' umwanzi Satani
Nzahora ndirimbira Yesu
Kubw' urukundo yangiriye
Yanyishyu riy' imyenda yose
Yarambohoye muri byose
Ndashaka rwose kuririnibira
Uwo Mwami wanjye, Yesu Kristo
Koko n'ukuri yarankijije
Nzahora mpi rw' iminsi yose
Nzahora ndirimbira Yesu
Kubw' urukundo yangiriye
Yanyishyu riy' imyenda yose
Yarambohoye muri byose
Yanyishyu riy' imyenda yose
Yarambohoye muri byose

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on July 28, 2021, Papi Clever & Dorcas’s "Ndashaka kuririmbira Yesu" is a profound declaration of unwavering devotion, a worship anthem distilled to its purest essence. The song centers entirely on the person and work of Jesus Christ, articulating a deeply personal and theological journey from sin and impending destruction to salvation and freedom. It’s an honest, unembellished testimony of faith, born from the understanding of divine sacrifice and enduring love, inviting everyone to reflect on the core tenets of their own spiritual walk.
The narrative of the song immediately establishes the singer’s desire to praise Jesus, portraying Him as a "King of charm" who willingly endured suffering and death to cleanse humanity from sin. This opening statement directly echoes the heart of the Gospel, referencing scriptures like Romans 5:8, which reminds us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us, and John 3:16, highlighting God's boundless love in sending His Son. The idea of Jesus as a "King of charm" subtly speaks to His inherent glory and magnetic pull, even in His humbling act of atonement, a truth found in passages like Philippians 2:6-8, describing His self-emptying to become obedient to death. This sacrificial love is the bedrock of the entire piece, establishing the reason for the perpetual worship promised in the recurring refrain.
The enduring commitment to sing for Jesus stems from the love He poured out, an act that "paid all my debts" and "freed me from everything." This powerful imagery of debt cancellation is a central theme in Christian theology, perfectly encapsulated in Colossians 2:13-14, where it speaks of God canceling the record of debt that stood against us by nailing it to the cross. The liberation described transcends mere earthly freedom, pointing to spiritual emancipation from the bondage of sin and its consequences, a freedom promised in Galatians 5:1, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." The song thus becomes a profound expression of gratitude for this comprehensive deliverance, acknowledging that every aspect of the singer's life has been touched by this redemptive act.
Further into the song, the message shifts to the personal experience of this transformative love, stating, "I am one to testify of that love / Which was found in my Savior / Especially since He saved me / And I was destined for destruction." This speaks to the vital Christian concept of personal testimony, recognizing one's former lost state and the specific, miraculous intervention of salvation. It parallels Romans 10:9-10, emphasizing the belief in the heart and confession with the mouth for salvation, and strongly aligns with Ephesians 2:8-9, which affirms that salvation is by grace through faith, not by works. The stark contrast between being "destined for destruction" and being saved underscores the magnitude of God’s grace and mercy, making the act of testifying not just a choice, but a spiritual imperative.
The song then moves beyond salvation from sin to acknowledge Christ's ongoing power and provision for the believer's daily life. "I thank my Savior / For His amazing power / And He is the one who puts strength in me / To defeat the enemy Satan." This section resonates deeply with scriptures on spiritual warfare and divine empowerment. Philippians 4:13 declares, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," while Ephesians 6:10-12 urges believers to "be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power" to stand against the schemes of the devil. The song makes it clear that the strength to overcome spiritual adversaries doesn't originate from within oneself but is supernaturally imparted by the Savior, reinforcing the daily reliance on His omnipotence.
Finally, the song culminates in an intensified resolve: "I truly want to sing / For that King of mine, Jesus Christ / Indeed, truly He saved me / I will give it all for Him all days." This declaration is a recommitment, a reaffirmation of the initial desire to praise, but now enriched by a deeper understanding of Christ’s enduring kingship and the reality of personal salvation. It evokes the spirit of wholehearted devotion found in Psalm 104:33, "I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being." "Ndashaka kuririmbira Yesu" is more than just a song; it's a timeless hymn of personal redemption, an invitation to continuous, Spirit-filled worship, and a powerful testament to the transformative love and sovereign power of Jesus Christ, echoing the sentiments of countless believers across generations who find their ultimate purpose in glorifying their Savior.
