Aflewo - Ametenda Mema & Awesome God Lyrics

Ametenda Mema and Awesome God is a praise medley celebrating the good works and greatness of Jesus. The Swahili opening repeatedly declares that he has done good in the lives of his people, making exaltation a response to remembered grace. Calls to magnify the names of Yahweh, the Father, and Jesus keep the worship directed toward God while the communal language gives the song a gathered, African praise character.

The transition into Awesome God preserves the same theme across languages. God is described as mighty and highly exalted, and the singers answer with repeated praise rather than an extended narrative. This movement from testimony to acclamation resembles biblical songs that recount what God has done before blessing his name. The medley’s recurring phrases make gratitude its organizing idea: divine goodness is named, God is lifted high, and praise is offered in response. Its Swahili and English sections unite around joyful recognition of God’s mighty character and generous acts.
