Lyrics
Yesu kawauliza wanafunzi wake
Je nani mwataka kuniacha
Je nani mwataka kuniacha
Yesu kawaambia wanafunzi wake
Yesu kawauliza wanafunzi wake
Je nani mwataka kuniacha
Je nani mwataka kuniacha
Petro akamwambia Yesu Bwana Wetu
Tukuache wewe twende kwa nani
Petro akamwambia Yesu Bwana Wetu
Tukuache wewe twende kwa nani
Petro akamwambia Yesu Bwana Wetu
Tukuache wewe twende kwa nani
Hapo ndipo ninajifunza kwamba
Hata nidharauliwe nitabaki na wewe Mungu
Hapo ndipo ninajifunza kwamba
Hata nidharauliwe nitabaki na wewe Mungu
Hapo ndipo ninajifunza kwamba
Hata nipite kwenye mabonde nitabaki na wewe Mungu
Hapo ndipo ninajifunza kwamba
Hata nidhaminiwe nitabaki na wewe Mungu
Hapo ndipo ninajifunza kwamba
Hata nibaki mwenyewe nitabaki na wewe Mungu
Nimebaki na wewe (nawe)
Nimebaki nawewe nisaidie
Nimebaki na wewe niepushe
Nilikuwa sijakujua Mungu wewe
Sasa nimekutambua Mungu wangu
Nilikuwa sijakujua Mungu wee
Sasa nimekujua Mungu wangu
Akili yangu ilipofika mwisho
Tuliinua sasa nimekutambua Mungu wangu
Nilipokuwa ni mgonjwa ukaniponya Bwana
Sasa nimekutambua Mungu wangu
Ndugu zangu waliponikataa wewe ukanikumbatia
Sasa nimekutambua Mungu wangu
Nimebaki na wewe, nimebaki na wewe
Na wewe wewe wewe
Nimebaki na wewe (nawe)
Nimebaki nawewe nisaidie
Nimebaki na wewe niepushe
Ndugu yangu mimi sijui unapitia nini maishani mwako
Mpendwa mimi sijui unapitia nini kazini pako
Rafiki mimi sijui unapitia nini kwenye ndoa yako
Unapopita kwenye magumu ya kukuvunja moyo
Wewe baki Mungu tu,
Mimi mwenyewe hapa nimbaki na Mungu
Nimebaki na wewe (nawe)
Nimebaki nawewe nisaidie
Nimebaki na wewe niepushe

Meaning & Inspiration
“Nimebaki Na Wewe” draws its central confession from Peter’s response when Jesus asked whether the disciples also wished to leave. The question “Tukuache wewe twende kwa nani?” expresses dependence on Christ as the only secure source of life and help. From that biblical scene, the song moves into personal testimony: rejection, illness, hardship, and loneliness do not cancel the decision to remain with God.
The recurring plea for help and protection gives the song the character of a prayer. God is described as the one who heals, embraces the rejected, and remains present when human strength reaches its limit. Even when the lyrics acknowledge valleys and discouragement, their emphasis stays on steadfast trust rather than despair. The refrain therefore carries both commitment and petition: the singer has chosen to remain with God and asks for sustaining grace. The message closely aligns with Scripture’s portrayal of Christ as the One whose words give eternal life.
