Lyrics
Verse 1
Wakati nitajikuta, mbinguni kwa baba,
Nitajua ya ulimwengu nimeshayaacha,
Halleluya nitasifu, kufika mbinguni,
Hossana nitaingia kwa shangwe
Chorus
Nitaingia lango lake na sifa moyoni,
Nitaingia kwa shangwe kuu,
Nitasema ni siku njema bwana ameifanya,
Nitafurahi kufika mbinguni
Verse 2
Nchi nzuri nchi safi, kwa baba yangu,
Kuna amani kuna furaha, uko ni kusifu,
Tutakaa na mungu wetu, nchi ya amani,
Hossana nitaingia kwa shangwe,
Chorus (Repeat)
Nitaingia lango lake na sifa moyoni,
Nitaingia kwa shangwe kuu,
Nitasema ni siku njema bwana ameifanya,
Nitafurahi kufika mbinguni
Verse 3
Nitawaona watakatifu, manabii wote
Hata mitume nchi hiyo, nitawaona,
Tutakula meza moja, nchi ya amani,
Hossana nitaingia kwa shangwe
Chorus (Repeat)
Nitaingia lango lake na sifa moyoni,
Nitaingia kwa shangwe kuu,
Nitasema ni siku njema bwana ameifanya,
Nitafurahi kufika mbinguni

Meaning & Inspiration
“Nitaingia Lango Lake,” which means “I will enter His gate,” is a Swahili song by Msanii Music Group about arriving in heaven with praise. The first verse imagines being with the Father in heaven and knowing the cares of the world are left behind. The refrain says the singer will enter His gates with praise in the heart and with great joy, and says it is the good day the Lord has made. That phrase comes from Psalm 118:24, and the gate image is close to Psalm 100:4.
The second verse describes heaven as a good and clean land with peace and joy, where the singer will live with God. The third verse looks forward to seeing the saints, the prophets, and the apostles, and to eating together at one table in a land of peace, which recalls Revelation 19:9 and Hebrews 12:22-23.
The song is a hopeful picture of the eternal home, and its tone is joyful expectation and thanksgiving.
