A Message of Faith Amid Life’s Challenges

The song’s lyrics deliver a heartfelt message about trusting in God’s steadfast love and strength, especially when life feels overwhelming. In the chorus, Mbonyi emphasizes the transient nature of human love and urges listeners to put their faith solely in God:

Urukundo bakunda nti Rumara kabiri
Rushira nk’iminsi unyigishe ku kwizera
Wenyine.
Dore ngushikamijeho umutima wanjye
Kukw’ari wowe ubasha kumpisha
Ahatazabonwa n’undi.

The lyrics acknowledge that while human love may fade quickly, God’s love remains unshaken. Mbonyi’s personal, earnest cry for God’s guidance serves as an invitation for listeners to find strength and refuge in their faith.

A Call to Build on a Solid Foundation

In the first verse, Mbonyi uses a well-known biblical metaphor to remind us of the importance of a solid foundation. He cautions against relying on people, likening it to building a house on sand that will be washed away by heavy rains:

Bwenge arahamagara ati ntukiringire abantu
Utazamera nk’uwubatse inzu ye ku musenyi
Imvura izagwa nyinshi izayihitana
Imivu nitemba izayitembana.

Through these words, Mbonyi urges his audience to base their lives on a firm foundation of faith in God, which will stand strong even when storms of life hit.

A Reflection on Perseverance and Redemption

In the second verse, Mbonyi speaks to the struggles and trials that many face, yet he reassures believers that God’s name prevails in the hearts of those who trust Him. Reflecting on the difficult times, he describes the journey of faith as that of a soldier heading into battle, equipped with prayer as their armor:

N’ejobundi yaratutswe yitwa ikizira
Baramutokoza aratonekara cane
Nyamara izina ryiwe mugihe gito gishize
Ryahoraga ku mitima yabo.

Nk’umusirikare wese ugiye kurugamba
Umwigishe kurwanisha uburyo bwose
Kuko amanywa nijoro ajya ahorana isengesho
Uzamuhe gusoza amahoro.

Mbonyi’s imagery reminds listeners that although life’s battles are inevitable, faith and prayer provide the strength needed to endure and ultimately find peace.

The Unshakable Faith of Those Who Trust in God

In the bridge, Mbonyi emphasizes the resilience of those who place their trust in God, comparing them to Mount Zion, which cannot be moved. The symbolism here beautifully reflects the core message of the song: true believers are rooted firmly in God’s strength, no matter the storms they face.

Abiringiye Uwiteka Imana
Bameze nk’umusozi w’isiyoni
Ntakizabasha kubanyeganyeza
Imvura izagwa nyinshi ntizabahitana
Imivu nitemba ntizabatembana.
