Lyrics
Chorus (x2)
Tumekubalika na Mungu
Tuna nguvu za kifalme
Ametuchora kwenye moyoni wake
Utukuzao wa agano
Verse 1
Nguvu za uteule (aaaah)
Uhadhi wa kifalme
Taifa takatifu
Watu wa miliki ya Mungu
Verse 2
Nimemuona Mungu amewaleta kutoka misri
Kuwa na nguvu kama za kale
Watawavunja adui mifupa vipande vipande
Watawachoma adui kwa mishale
Verse 3
Eeeh bariki mali ya [?]
Mungu kabariki nani wa kuwapinga?
Wana nguvu aaah Mungu kawapa
Wanawaweza (aaaah) Bwana kawapa
Wanautishoa (aaaah) Bwana kawapa
Verse 4
Hatuwezi tishwa kwa maneno yao
Nguvu zetu zipo kwa Bwana
Tulipona kwa pharaoh
Tukiwa ugenini hatukufa kwa njaa
Tukiwa hatuna kitu tulinusurika vita
Tukiwa hatuna silaha tulipona magonjwa
Tukiwa hatuna dawa tulipona [?]
Tuliweza maisha tukiwa hatuna hela
Tulishinda upweke tukiwa tumeachwa
Tuliponyoka kesi bila ya mtetezi
Verse 5
Mungu alikuwepo hatukuwa pekee yetu
Waliotuonea ndio hawakujua
Watoto wa misri tuna nguvu
Kama za nyati kuvunja vipande
Yaa yaa yaa yaaah
Chorus (x2)
Tumekubalika na Mungu
Tuna nguvu za kifalme
Ametuchora kwenye moyoni wake
Utukuzao wa agano

Meaning & Inspiration
Tumekubalika Na Mungu celebrates a people who understand their identity through God’s acceptance, covenant, and protection. The lyric names royal strength, holy nationhood, and belonging to God, language that directly recalls 1 Peter 2:9. Its communal voice treats dignity not as self-made status but as something received from the Lord.
The song also looks back to deliverance from Egypt as evidence that God remains present when his people face hostility, scarcity, sickness, legal trouble, or loneliness. Images of survival without money, weapons, or an advocate build a testimony of preservation in situations where ordinary resources were absent. The claim that strength rests in the Lord aligns with the repeated insistence that opposition cannot erase divine favor. By returning to “Tumekubalika na Mungu,” the lyric joins praise with confidence: God has claimed a people, remained with them in hardship, and given them courage to withstand those who rise against them.
