Solomon Lange - Dogara Lyrics
Lyrics
Dogara ga suna Yesu
(Trusting in the name of Jesus)
Takan sa a sami Rai (Brings life)
Gama ba ceto ga wani
(For there is no salvation in anyone)
Ba kuwa hanya sai dai shi
(And there is no other way except him
Jinin Yesu Ya Fanshe Ni
(The blood of Jesus has saved me)
Yana wanke zunubi
(It washes away my sin)
Na jingia wurin Yesu (I trust in Jesus)
Ya Karbe ni Bawansa (Je accepts me as his own)
Yesu Yesu Iasonka
(Jesus Jesus I Love You)
Kai kadai mai ceto na
(You are the only Saviour)
Yesu Yesu ni zan bi ka
(Jesus Jesus I'll follow You)
Daga nan har abada
(Today and forever)
Yesu Yesu Iasonka
(Jesus Jesus I Love You)
Kai kadai mai ceto na
(You are the only Saviour)
Yesu Yesu ni zan bi ka
(Jesus Jesus I'll follow You)
Daga nan har abada
(Today and forever)
Eh eh eh

Dogara - Solomon Lange
Meaning & Inspiration
I was listening to Dogara from that 2012 Alheri record, and it’s strange how something so simple can actually rattle you a bit. He starts off talking about how there’s no other way but through Jesus, and my mind went straight to that part in Acts where Peter is standing before the religious leaders, saying there isn't salvation in anyone else. It’s a hard truth, really—the kind that makes the people around you uncomfortable if you talk about it too much. But when Solomon Lange sings about trusting in that name to find life, it feels like he’s just stripping away all the noise we usually add to our faith.
It makes me wonder if I really live like I believe there's no other way, or if I’m just saying the words because the melody is nice. He talks about the blood washing away sin, which is classic, but it hits differently when you’re forced to think about what that actually requires from a person. If the blood really did the work, then what am I doing trying to carry the weight of my own failures every day? It’s almost frustrating, honestly. I want to be the one who earns some of this, but the lyrics keep pointing back to the fact that He’s the one who accepts me, not the other way around. I find myself singing along, promising to follow Him forever, but then I look at my own track record and wonder if I’m just making a promise I can’t keep. Does the promise hold up if I’m the one trying to walk it out, or is the whole point that He’s the one doing the holding?
