Tenzi Za Rohoni 7 Lyrics May 2026

Sina tena hofu mauti, Maana imekufa mauti; Ukweli wake umenena, Ya kwamba nina uzima. Yesu aliyenijibu, Kwa mateso yake makali, Ameniachia shangwe, Ili nisifu jina lake.

Using the metaphor of a ship’s anchor ( nanga ), the hymn addresses spiritual warfare ( shetani kunishambulia ). The anchor reaching heaven ( iliyofika mbinguni ) is a clear allusion to Hebrews 6:19. Notably, the line “Hata kama ninakwenda kinyume, / Hata anifuate tena” (Even if I go the wrong way, he will still follow me) presents a robust pastoral assurance of perseverance, bordering on a non-Calvinist “eternal security” perspective common in Moravian pietism. tenzi za rohoni 7 lyrics

Ninayo imani njema, Ishikayo katika damu; Kristo aliyokufa kweli, Ndiye ambao namsifu. Alinilipa deni langu, Kwa kutoa uhai wake; Hivyo sasa nimemwona, Mwenye haki ya mbinguni. Sina tena hofu mauti, Maana imekufa mauti; Ukweli

Ulimwengu ukiniangusha, Na shetani kunishambulia; Nina nanga ya rohoni, Iliyofika mbinguni. Hiyo nanga ni ahadi, Zake Bwana alizonipa; Hata kama ninakwenda kinyume, Hata anifuate tena. The anchor reaching heaven ( iliyofika mbinguni )

I no longer fear death, For death has died; His truth has spoken, That I have eternal life. Jesus who answered for me, Through his fierce sufferings, Has left me joy, So that I may praise his name.

A striking African existential concern is addressed: fear of death as the ultimate enemy. The hymn proclaims “mauti imekufa” (death has died) – a subversive statement that transforms the traditional African worldview of ancestor spirits and the living-dead. Christ’s resurrection is the basis for “uzima” (eternal life), not merely spiritual survival.

If the world throws me down, And Satan attacks me; I have an anchor in the spirit, That has reached heaven. That anchor is the promises, Of the Lord which he gave me; Even if I go the wrong way, He will still follow me.
