Chorus
Nguvu zako
Eeeh Bwana Mungu wangu
Verse 1
Ilikuwa ni muda mrefu uliopita
Nikisubiri uamuzi wa nyakati zake
Yeye ndiye anayenishikilia kwa nguvu
Alikubali kudhihakiwa
Hasingeweza kunipuuza hata ningenong'ona
Hata aliponiona karibu
Kuanguka chini angenishika
Hata mlima ambao ni mzito
Aliniwezesha kuupanda
Pre-Chorus
Yeye ndiye anayehusika utimilifu ya ahadi
Ndiye nasema sina shaka aliniponya maombolezo
Yeye ndiye anayehusika utimilifu ya ahadi
Ndiye nasema sina shaka aliniponya maombolezo
Chorus (Repeat)
Nguvu zako
Eeeh Bwana Mungu wangu
Zimetuma tena ni nimeshota
Kwenye kisima ya sifa
Zimetuma tena ni nimeshota
Kwenye kisima ya sifa
Verse 2
Eh hakika hakuna hata neno moja
Lililosemwa na Bwana lililowahi kumezwa
Njooni njooni muone
Nguvu za mkono wake
Kujeni njooni muone
Nguvu za mkono wake
Verse 3
Nyinyi watu mkingali mbali
Yoyoyo
Na sauti ya faraja
Kwenye visima vya migogoro
Yoyoyoyo
Hapana msijitie shaka
Pre-Chorus (Repeat)
Yeye ndiye anayehusika utimilifu ya ahadi
Ndiye nasema sina shaka aliniponya maombolezo
Yeye ndiye anayehusika utimilifu ya ahadi
Ndiye nasema sina shaka aliniponya maombolezo
Chorus (Repeat)
Nguvu zako
Eeeh Bwana Mungu wangu
Zimetuma tena ni nimeshota
Kwenye kisima ya sifa
Zimetuma tena ni nimeshota
Kwenye kisima ya sifa
Nguvu zako
Eeeh Bwana Mungu wangu
Zimetuma tena ni nimeshota
Kwenye kisima ya sifa
Zimetuma tena ni nimeshota
Kwenye kisima ya sifa

Meaning & Inspiration
“Kisima,” which means “Well,” by Vestine and Dorcas is a Swahili song of testimony and praise. The first verse recalls a long wait and says the Lord held the singer by His power, was willing to be mocked, and gave strength to climb a heavy mountain. The pre-chorus names Him as the one responsible for the fulfilment of promises, and says without doubt that He healed mourning.
The chorus asks that God’s power be sent again so the singer may be refreshed “kwenye kisima ya sifa” (at the well of praise). The second verse declares that no word spoken by the Lord has ever fallen to the ground, and calls others to come and see the strength of His hand. That is close to Joshua 21:45 and Psalm 66:5.
The outro repeats the central confession, “Wewe ni kimbilio, tena na makao” (You are a refuge and a dwelling place), and “Umebadilisha huzuni kuwa sifa” (You have turned sorrow into praise), which echoes Psalm 90:1 and Psalm 30:11.
