Malawian fast rising gospel musician, Roni releases a new single titled 'Nkhuleka Cha', which means "I won't let go" or "stop holding on".
About the song, she said;
"This song is about appreciating how God is and always has been our refuge, protecting us through all the trials of life. Because he's been so good, giving us peace and rest even in the midst of the storm, we will never let go of him but rather hold on forever.
I wrote this song because I want to let God know how much I appreciate his love. When I look back at how many times God has saved me, I often can't believe how he brought me out of the storm. I believe God protects all of us in so many ways and all we ought to do is thank him for it. This song is just about acknowledging and recognizing how God is God in every situation."
"Teghamira Yesu, ta ba thumbiko, mutende ulipo'wo walayizga" is the chorus of an English hymn titled Like a River Glorious. It translates to "Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are truly blessed, finding as he promised; perfect peace and rest."
Roni - Nkhuleka Cha Lyrics
In the times when life becomes a fight
Your love is a fire blazing through the night
Your promises are written in my heart
To remind me your faithfulness is guaranteed for life
You fight for me when troubles come
and I'm grateful Lord
For everything that you have done
You're my protector
My defender
I'm holding on to you forever
I can't let go
Nkhuleka cha
I'm holding on to you forever
In the shadow of your wings I find rest, I find security and all I need
You have always been by my side
Jesus you are my ride or die
Walking with me till the end of time
I'll forever be in your light
In your hands I won't fall away
Teghamira Yesu
Ta ba thumbiko
Mutende ulipo'wo
Walayizga
