The legacy of Tanzanian gospel music has been further enriched by the release of “Kumtegemea Mwokozi,” a timeless new rendition from the seasoned worship leader Edson Mwasabwite. This track is a profound declaration of total reliance on the Savior, breathing new life into the foundational truth of trusting God.
Speaking about the song, Edson Mwasabwite explains that “Kumtegemea Mwokozi” (To Trust in the Savior) is rooted in the biblical principle that those who lean on the Lord will never be put to shame. Birthed from a career of witnessing God’s faithfulness through various seasons of life, the song serves as a steady anchor for the soul. “In a world where everything else fails, our only safety is in leaning entirely on the finished work of Christ,” he shared.
Now available on all major music streaming platforms, the song serves as a daily reminder of the peace that comes with surrender. Recorded with a blend of classic East African gospel rhythms and contemporary worship sensitivity, “Kumtegemea Mwokozi” reflects a moment of deep, personal confession, encouraging listeners to cast their burdens on the One who is able to carry them.
Edson Mwasabwite is a respected voice in the gospel industry, known for his ability to write songs that resonate across generations. His ministry flows from a heart of humility and a commitment to spreading the message of hope throughout East Africa and beyond. His music remains a bridge, leading many into a lifestyle of prayer and consistent fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
Through this release, Edson seeks to draw hearts back to the simplicity of the Gospel. “Kumtegemea Mwokozi” reflects this heart, pointing listeners away from their own strength and back toward the eternal, unshakable Rock of their salvation.
The release is accompanied by a soulful music video that captures the essence of the message, available on YouTube.
