Solomon Shemanzi's song 'Karibu Yesu' is a Swahili worship song that invites Jesus to come and heal the heart. The lyrics express a deep desire to be like Jesus, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and to know Him intimately. The repeated plea 'Karibu Yesu' (Welcome Jesus) and 'Moyo wangu uponye' (Heal my heart) reflect a prayer for spiritual and emotional healing. The song is simple yet profound, focusing on surrender and the need for God's presence. It is a heartfelt cry for transformation and closeness to God.

Nataka kufanana nawe
Nataka kufanana nawe
Moyo wangu upone
karibu Yesu Karibu, karibu Yesu karibu
Karibu Yesu karibu, moyo wangu uponye
Nataka kujazwa na roho
Nataka kujazwa na roho
Nataka kujazwa na roho
Moyo wangu upone
karibu Yesu Karibu, karibu Yesu karibu
Karibu Yesu karibu, moyo wangu uponye
Nataka kukujua vyema,
Nataka kukujua vyema
Nitembee kwa uwepo wa roho
Moyo wangu uponye
karibu Yesu Karibu, karibu Yesu karibu
Karibu Yesu karibu, moyo wangu uponye
