Lyrics
Nina Imani nitaimba wimbo mpya, wimbo wa washindi, nifikapo kando ya Bahari ya kioo furaha ghaya, Yesu Kristo Mkombozi wetu, atatuimbisha wimbo mpya, atanipa sauti nzuri kushinda hii.
Wimbo haujaimbwa tangu kuumbwa kwa dunia, wimbo mtamu mzuri, wimbo mpya, Malaika hawautambui wastaajabu kwa umbali, Hawauenzi, hawafahamu wimbo huo.
Tarumbeta, vunubi, na zeze zasikika kote, Ni anga la Muziki uchezwao kwa ustadi Mkuu, wimbo wa sifa kwa Kuhani Mkuu.
Wale wazee ishirini na wanne..
Wainama na kuinuka, wakimsujudu Bwana, Mkuu wa majeshi, (Hapo ndipo penye subira,) ya watakatifu, walioshika amri zake, na IMANI yake Yesu, Tazama nikaona, Mwanakondoo amesimama juu ya mlima zayuni, na Watu mia na arobaini na nne elfu, vipaji vya nyuso zao jina la Baba na Mwana, Nikasikia sauti toka mbinguni, kama ya maji mengi, kama ya radi Kuu, kama ya wapiga vunubi wakipiga vunubi vyao, (Sifa kwa Kuhani mkuu)

Meaning & Inspiration
Wimbo Mpya draws its imagery from Revelation, picturing redeemed worship beside the glassy sea and before the Lamb on Mount Zion. The anticipated new song belongs to those who have overcome, while angels, harps, thunderous waters, and the twenty-four elders form a scene of heavenly praise. The lyrics look beyond present life toward worship marked by joy, wonder, and the presence of Christ.
Several details closely echo Revelation 14:1-3, including the Lamb, the 144,000, the Father’s name, and a sound like rushing waters and harpists. The reference to patient saints who keep God’s commandments also recalls Revelation 14:12. Together, these images give the song an Adventist hymn-like character and explain its emphasis on perseverance and victory. Rather than offering a general picture of heaven, the song gathers specific biblical symbols into an expectation of faithful believers learning a song associated with redemption.
