Nitakaa Kwako by Neema Gospel Choir: Lyrics & Song Review

Right off the bat, Nitakaa Kwako by Neema Gospel Choir is an exquisitely produced song, bearing such a strong message. What would you do if you had an all-time reliable friend, perfect on all counts, yet one to lie down their life for a wretched person as yourself? Having tasted their benefit, you would pledge allegiance to them.

Nitakaa Kwako expresses the dependable nature of God, and affirms a devotion to Him. In no other could we find belonging than the heavenly Father. Out of Him, we are lifeless. But in Him we live, move and have our being.

Where would you rather dwell? The song says it better, let’s dive in.

Scriptural review

Here are scripture references that can be tied to the song:

Refuge and help from God

Isn’t it amazing that we have the privilege to attach our confidence in God? We can look up to him for security and help. And if this was not enough, He is always there for us.

Here are a few scripture references:

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32:7‬ ‭NIV
‬‬[7] You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121:1‭-‬2‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[1] I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from?
[2] My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[1] God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Constant and watchful care

While our systems in security, health, and well-being may fail, God never loses sight of us. He is always watching over us. He created us, and cares for us.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121:4‬ ‭NIV
‬‬[4] indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:29‭-‬30‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[29] Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.
[30] And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Communion with God

Having experienced the goodness of God, David desired to dwell forever in His house, in an unending communion with Him.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[4] One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.
‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭24:14‬ ‭NIV
‬‬[14] David said to Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let us fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy is great; but do not let me fall into human hands.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭73:28‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[28] But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.

Nikitafuta pa kujificha sioni
Nikitazama milima msaada sioni
Nani nikimweleza shida zangu hata usiku wa manane
Aache usingizi anisikize

Nikitafuta pa kujificha sioni Bwana
Nikitazama milima msaada sioni
Nani nikimweleza shida zangu hata usiku wa manane
Aache usingizi anisikize
Aache usingizi anisikize

Lakini Wewe usiku mchana haulali
U tayari kuyajibu maswali yangu
Wewe ni rafiki mwema
Kila siku kwangu
Kwako nitakaa milele

Lakini Wewe usiku mchana haulali
U tayari kuyajibu maswali yangu
Wewe ni rafiki mwema
Kila siku kwangu
Kwako nitakaa milele

Kwako nitakaa milele
Hata iwe sitatoka
Nitoke Kwako niende wapi
Maana Kwako kuna usalama

Kwako nitakaa milele
Hata iwe sitatoka
Nitoke Kwako niende wapi
Maana Kwako kuna usalama

Kwako nitakaa milele
Hata iwe sitatoka
Nitoke Kwako niende wapi
Maana Kwako kuna usalama

Kwako nitakaa milele
Hata iwe sitatoka
Nitoke Kwako niende wapi
Maana Kwako kuna usalama

Maana Kwako kuna usalama
Maana Kwako kuna usalama

Mwingine wa kulinganishwa nawe hakuna
Hakuna msaada nitakaopata bila Wewe, eeh
Nategemea Kwako
Bila nguvu Zako sitaweza
Nategemea Kwako
Bila nguvu Zako sitaweza

Nategemea Kwako
Bila nguvu Zako sitaweza
Nategemea Kwako

Kwako nitakaa milele
Hata iwe sitatoka
Nitoke Kwako niende wapi
Maana Kwako kuna usalama

Kwako nitakaa milele
Hata iwe sitatoka
Nitoke Kwako niende wapi
Maana Kwako kuna usalama

Maana Kwako kuna usalama
Maana Kwako kuna usalama
