Lyrics
Ya nini Mungu kujificha wakati wa shida?
Wakati mwingine kama kweli huoni
Wajua yote yalonikuta hasimliki
Nimelia na kujinyamazisha pekee yangu
Moyoni nikataabika, furaha ikaenda
Sikumwona wa kumwelezea shida
Rafiki pekee namwamini, ni Yesu mfariji
Ndio maana sijamwambia mtu shida zangu
Nitasubiri na kusubiri sitachoka
Nimeshamezana na wewe kwa maombi
Usipojibu, au ujibu nitaelewa
Nashukuru, hata kwa majaribu
Mungu unasababu mimi kuishi maisha kama haya
Nitasubiri na kusubiri sitachoka
Nimeshamezana na wewe kwa maombi
Usipojibu, au ujibu nitaelewa
Nashukuru, hata kwa majaribu
Mungu unasababu mimi kuishi maisha kama haya
Kwa nini sasa umesimama mbali nami Bwana?
Muda mwingi mi najihisi mi ni mpweke
Jidhihirishe mi nikuone, nakuhitaji Bwana
Nibariki sasa ukijibu maombi, yangu
Najua mengi nimekuudhi, nimetenda dhambi
Ndio maana ukasimama mbali nami
Nisamehe yote yote bure, kwa damu ya Yesu
Nifanye mi niwe mtoto wako siku, zote
Nitasubiri na kusubiri sitachoka
Nimeshamezana na wewe kwa maombi
Usipojibu, au ujibu nitaelewa
Nashukuru, hata kwa majaribu
Mungu unasababu mimi kuishi maisha kama haya
Nitasubiri na kusubiri sitachoka
Nimeshamezana na wewe kwa maombi
Usipojibu, au ujibu nitaelewa
Nashukuru, hata kwa majaribu
Mungu unasababu mimi kuishi maisha kama haya

Meaning & Inspiration
“Nitasubiri” gives voice to a believer who feels abandoned during hardship yet continues to wait for God in prayer. The opening questions resemble biblical lament: sorrow is admitted plainly, loneliness is named, and divine help appears distant. Even so, Jesus is confessed as the trusted comforter. The recurring promise to keep waiting turns pain into patient dependence rather than despair. Gratitude for trials further shows faith holding firm before an answer arrives.
The song’s questions closely recall Psalm 13, where apparent divine absence is brought directly to God. Its repeated commitment to wait aligns with Psalm 27’s call to wait courageously for the Lord, while perseverance in prayer reflects Romans 12. The later confession of sin adds repentance to the lament, asking for forgiveness through the blood of Jesus and restoration as God’s child. “Nitasubiri” therefore holds sorrow, confession, gratitude, and hope together. Prayer remains the central response, whether the desired answer comes immediately, arrives differently, or remains delayed.
