Tenzi Za Rohoni 7 Lyrics Apr 2026

Ee Bwana, uwe na sifa, Kwa rehema zako sikuzote; Umeyafuta makosa yangu, Kwa sababu ya Mwanao. Sasa natazama mbele, Hadi nifikie zioni, Pale nitakapokuona, Ee Mwokozi, uso kwa uso. 3.

A striking African existential concern is addressed: fear of death as the ultimate enemy.
