Ndinoda Jesu

For a **sungura** song, the lyrics work best when they are simple, repetitive, testimonial, and easy for the audience to sing along with. Here is an enhanced version with a stronger narrative, call-and-response feel, and memorable hooks.

## **Ndinomuda Jesu**

### **Verse 1**

Akandiona ndiri mumatope
Akandiona ndakagara muropa rangu
Vanhu vakanga vandirasa
Vachiti handichina tariro

Ndokuratidza rudo rwake
Ndokundisimudza nenyasha
Ndokundigeza nemvura youpenyu
Jesu akachinja nyaya yangu

### **Chorus**

Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Nekuti akandida kutanga

Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Nekuti akandisimudza

---

### **Verse 2**

Uko uko here?
Hakuna mumwe wandingawana
Hama dzakanditiza
Nadzo shamwari dzakanditiza

Pandakanga ndiri ndega
Ndichichema usiku hwese
Asi Jesu wakamira neni
Haana kumbondisiya

### **Chorus**

Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Nekuti akandida kutanga

### **Verse 3**

Pandakanga ndisina chinhu
Akapa hupenyu hutsva
Pandakanga ndarasika nzira
Akava mwenje pamberi pangu

Pandakanga ndakundwa nehondo
Akandirwira nesimba
Nhasi ndinofamba ndichifara
Nekuti Jesu aneni

### **Chant (Sungura Break)**

Response: Jesu! Jesu!

### **Final Chorus**

Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Mwoyo wangu ndewake

Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Ndinomuda Jesu, ndinomuda
Haandisiye, ndinomuda

**Outro**
Akandiona ndiri mumatope
Akandiona ndakagara muropa rangu
Ndokuratidza rudo rwake
Jesu, Jesu, ndinomuda! 🎸🕺🏾🎶
