Lyrics

Masimango na maneno makali ndio yaliyokuwa fungu langu 


Shida taabu ziliumiza sana moyo wangu 


Masimango na maneno makali ndio yaliyokuwa fungu langu 


Maamivu ya moyo yaliinamisha nafsi yangu 


Asante Yesu kwa kuwa uliona taabu yangu 


Nakushukuru kwa kuwa uliona msiba wangu 


Na sasa ona ninaendelea 


Walionicheka wanaona haya 


Asante Yesu kwa kunishindia 


Walionicheka wanaona haya 


Walikuwa ni mahipokriti 


Hawakuwa ni marafiki wangu wa kweli 


Ikifika ni wakati wa mahitaji 


Waniepa manze kila wakati 


Hawakutaka mi niokoke kabisa 


Walitaka mimi nichanganye kabisa 


Ona vile mimi ninang'ara kabisa 


Ju nilifuata Yesu kabisa 


Yesu wangu mi nakufuata 


Wacha hao waendee naree 


Na sasa ona ninaendelea 


Walionicheka wanaona haya 


Asante Yesu kwa kunishindia 


Walionicheka wanaona haya 


Asante Yesu mwingi wa huruma 


Umenishika mkono mbele naendelea 


Eeh Yesu mwingi wa huruma 


Umenishika mkono mbele naendelea 


Uko nami, uko nami Baba 


Uko nami, uko nami Baba


Waonyeshe waonyeshe 


Waonyeshe uko nami eeeh

Meaning & Inspiration

“Walionicheka” is a testimony of reversal after ridicule, hardship, and abandonment. The singer remembers harsh words, emotional pain, and companions who disappeared when help was needed. Against that history, gratitude to Jesus becomes the central response. Progress is credited not to revenge or self-sufficiency but to divine mercy, victory, and the sustaining presence of a Father who holds the singer’s hand.

The recurring declaration that former mockers can now see the change gives the song a public dimension, yet its strongest emphasis remains faithfulness to Jesus. The singer chooses to follow Christ and interprets renewed strength as evidence of his help. That movement recalls biblical songs in which God lifts a suffering person from distress and gives a new song of praise. The repeated assurance “Uko nami, Baba” also turns the testimony toward companionship: the singer is no longer defined by rejection because God is present. As a Swahili praise song, it joins thanksgiving, perseverance, and restored dignity without pretending that the earlier wounds were insignificant.
