Lyrics
Verse 1
Ni siku kuu siku ile,
Ya kumkiri Mwokozi!
Moyo umejaa tele,
Kunyamaza hauwezi.
Chorus (x4)
Siku kuu Siku kuu
Ya kuoshwa dhambi zangu kuu,
Hukesha na kuomba tu,
Ananiongoza miguu,
Suku kuu Siku kuu
Ya kuoshwa dhambi zangu kuu.
Verse 2
Tumekwisha kupatana,
Mimi wake,Yeye wangu,
Na sasa nitamwandama,
Nikiri neno la Mungu.
Verse 3
Moyo tulia kwa Bwana,
Kiini cha raha yako,
Huna njia mbili tena,
Yesu ndiye njia yako.
Verse 4
Nadhiri yangu ya mbele,
Nitaiweka daima,
Hata ije siku ile,
Ya kwonana kwa salama.

Meaning & Inspiration
“Ni Siku Kuu” is a Swahili hymn sung by Beatrice Mhone that celebrates the day of confessing the Savior and being washed from sin. The first verse calls it a great day to acknowledge Christ and says the heart is too full to stay silent. The chorus repeats “Siku kuu, siku kuu ya kuoshwa dhambi zangu kuu,” the great day of being washed of great sins, and adds that the singer keeps watch and prays while the Lord guides the feet.
The second verse describes a reconciliation, “I am His, He is mine,” and a promise to follow and to confess the word of God. The third tells the heart to rest in the Lord, the source of peace, since there are no longer two paths and Jesus is the way. The last verse is a vow to keep a commitment always until the day of meeting in peace.
The lines are close to John 14:6, Song of Solomon 2:16 and 1 John 1:7.
