Liko lango moja wazi, ni lango la mbinguni;
Na wote waingiao watapata nafasi.
Yesu ndiye lango hili, hata sasa ni wazi,
Kwa wakubwa na wadogo, tajiri na maskini.
Hili ni lango la raha,ni lango la rehema;
Kila mtu apitaye hana majonzi tena.
Tukipita lango hili tutatua mizigo,
tuliochukua kwanza, tutavikwa uzima.
Liko Lango Moja Wazi - Lango ndiye yesu Bwana
Song Meaning
Tenzi 120 names its whole subject directly in Swahili: "Yesu ndiye lango hili" ("Jesus is this gate"). The image reaches for John 10:9's claim, "I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved" — a single way in named specifically rather than left vague.
"Kwa wakubwa na wadogo, tajiri na maskini" ("for the great and the small, the rich and the poor") widens the invitation to every kind of person without exception, close to Matthew 11:28's call to "all you who labor and are heavy burdened." "Tutatua mizigo" ("we will set down our burdens") names relief as the practical result of passing through, rather than only a spiritual metaphor detached from actual weight carried.
