Lyrics
Verse 1
Tunaishi kwa nguvu za Mungu, yeye ndo katuweka hapa
Kila hatua tunapitia, yeye ndo mlinzi wetu
Asubuhi ifikapo hujua siku itaenda vipi
Je, nitavuka salama jioni hata usiku
Kwa dakika sekunde hujua siku itaenda vipi
Kupata na kukosa anajua mimi nitapata nini
Kulala kuamka anajua mimi nitaamka vipi
Maisha yetu yote ndiye anaye siri zetu
Chorus
Wewe ni Mungu wangu, sikuachi tena
Mimi kuwepo leo, neema zako zaniwezesha
Sina haki mimi kujisifu tena
Kwani bila wewe hakika mimi singekuwa hivi
Verse 2
The light of my way and shining star in my life
He is the Lord of all lights and victory, and everything is His
Upatacho shukuru ni Mungu ndiye kakuweka hapo
Usisahau kumtumikia bado ungali hai
Kumbuka kuna siku utadaiwa kwa matendo yako
Iweje jema au baya, watu umewatenda vipi
Je, wazitumiaje baraka ulizopewa na Mungu
Suluhisho pekee ni Mungu, pekee tumpe maisha yetu
Chorus (Repeat x2)

Meaning & Inspiration
"Sikuachi Tena" ("I Will Not Leave You Again") reflects on the extent of God's knowledge over every detail of daily life, describing him as aware of outcomes before each day even begins. Its opening verse lists specific unknowns, safe passage through the day, success or loss, sleep and waking, all held within God's prior knowledge rather than left to chance.
The chorus responds to that description with personal commitment, declaring dependence on God as the sole reason for present existence and renouncing any claim to self-made achievement. A second verse turns instructive, reminding listeners that blessings carry accountability and that a future reckoning awaits based on how those blessings and relationships were handled.
Structured around Swahili testimony verses and a repeated declaration of dependence, the song functions as both praise and self-examination, crediting God's providence while calling for faithful use of what has been given. Its closing instruction, that God alone is the answer worth giving one's life to, ties the song's opening picture of divine oversight to a concluding call for surrendered living.
