Kale nilitembea Nikilemewa dhambi
Nilikosa msaada, kuniponya mateso.
Usifiwe Msalaba! Lisifiwe kaburi!
Linalozidi yote, Asifiwe Mwokozi!
Hata nilipofika, Mahali pa Msalaba,
Palinifaa sana, Sitasahau kamwe.
Usifiwe Msalaba! Lisifiwe kaburi!
Linalozidi yote, Asifiwe Mwokozi!
Hicho ndicho chanzo, Cha kufurahi kwangu.
Hapo ndipo mzigo, Uliponituliwa.
Usifiwe Msalaba! Lisifiwe kaburi!
Linalozidi yote, Asifiwe Mwokozi!
Panapo msalaba, Kinatolewa cheti,
Cha kuingia Mbinguni, Kisicho cha kanisa.
Usifiwe Msalaba Lisifiwe kaburi!
Linalozidi yote, Asifiwe Mwokozi!
Yule Bwana mjinga, Likwenda bila cheti,
Kitumai kwingia, Kama walio nacho.
Usifiwe Msalaba Lisifiwe kaburi!
Linalozidi yote, Asifiwe Mwokozi!
Lipofika langoni, Akaulizwa cheti,
Cha kumwonyesha Bwana, Akakutwa hanacho.
Usifiwe Msalaba Lisifiwe kaburi!
Linalozidi yote, Asifiwe Mwokozi!
Lituhuzunishalo, Ni ninyi msio nacho,
Kuwa kama mjinga, Kwa siku ya arusi!
Usifiwe Msalaba Lisifiwe kaburi!
Linalozidi yote, Asifiwe Mwokozi!
Ubavuni mwa Yesu, Mlitokea damu,
Chemchemi ya uzima, Itakasayo roho.
Usifiwe Msalaba Lisifiwe kaburi!
Linalozidi yote, Asifiwe Mwokozi!
Jitahidi wingie, Damuni mwa Mwokozi,
Utafutiwa dhambi, Toka rohoni mwako.
Usifiwe Msalaba Lisifiwe kaburi!
Linalozidi yote, Asifiwe Mwokozi!

Mbarikiwa's song 'Kale Nilitembea' (Tenzi no 22) is a Swahili hymn that reflects on the believer's journey from being burdened by sin to finding relief at the cross. The lyrics emphasize the power of the cross and the empty tomb, celebrating the Savior's victory. The song encourages listeners to hold fast to the certificate of entry into heaven, which is obtained through Christ's sacrifice. It warns against those who neglect this gift, using the parable of the foolish man without a wedding garment. The blood of Jesus is described as a fountain of life that cleanses the soul.
