Lyrics
Verse 1
Nionapo amani kama shwari, ama nionapo shida;
Kwa mambo yote umenijulisha, ni salama rohoni mwangu.
Chorus (x4)
Salama, rohoni, ni salama rohoni mwangu!
Verse 2
Ingawa shetani atanitesa, nitajipa moyo
kwani Kristo ameona unyonge wangu, amekufa kwa roho yangu. .
Verse 3
Dhambi zangu zote, wala si nusu, zimewekwa msalabani;
Wala sichukui laana yake, ni salama rohoni mwangu
Verse 4
Ee Bwana himiza siku ya kuja, panda itakapolia;
utakaposhuka sitaogopa, ni salama rohoni mwangu.

Meaning & Inspiration
In “23 Ni Salama Rohoni Mwangu,” Sheddy gives voice to a settled assurance that does not depend on outward circumstances. The opening verse places calm and trouble side by side, yet the refrain insists on a deeper security: “ni salama rohoni mwangu.” That peace is not natural optimism; it is grounded in what Christ has done.
The second verse acknowledges that the enemy may bring affliction, but courage rests on Christ’s knowledge of human weakness and his death for the soul. The third verse speaks of sins—not partially, but all—placed on the cross, and the refusal to carry a curse that no longer applies. This points toward the language of substitution and forgiveness found in passages like Colossians 2:13–14.
The final verse turns toward the future, asking the Lord to hasten the day of his coming. The trumpet sound carries no terror because the same peace holds then as now. The song’s repeated refrain becomes an anchor: salvation’s work is finished, and the believer’s interior rest is real.
