Henrick Mruma's song 'Ukae Nami' is a Swahili Christian worship piece that pleads for God's constant presence and protection. Drawing from Psalm 121, the lyrics ask the Lord to stay forever, describing Him as a protector who shields from harm day and night. The song also references the classic hymn 'Abide with Me,' reinforcing the theme of reliance on God's unfailing help. It expresses trust in God's care in all circumstances, both now and eternally.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Eeh Bwana ukae nami ukae nami milele 

Sema milele (milele) 

Ukae nami milele 

(repeat) 


Bwana ni mlinzi wangu 

Uvuli wa mkono wa kuume  

Jua halitanipiga mchana 

Wala mwezi wakati wa usiku


Utanilinda na mabaya yote 

Utanilinda nitokapo na niingiapo 

Sasa na milele 


English Translation 


Oh Lord, stay with me and stay with me forever

(repeat)


The Lord is my protector

The shadow of the right hand

The sun will not beat me during the day

Nor the moon at night


You will protect me from all evil

You will protect me when I leave and when I come in

Now and forever


Tenzi /Hymn(Abide with me )

Kaa nami ni usiku tena

Usiniache gizani Bwana

Msaada wako haukomi

Nili pekee yangu kaa nami
