Meaning & Inspiration

Boaz Danken is a pastor and worship leader. This live recording from 2022, part of the Penuel album, is a simple but heavy declaration. The Swahili line “Yesu wastahili heshima na utukufu” repeats over and over — Jesus is worthy of honor and glory. There’s no complex storytelling. Just a people bending low and rising, hands lifted, naming who Jesus is.

The song doesn’t explain why He’s worthy. It assumes you already know. The bridge names Him Lion of Judah, Root of David, the Cornerstone — all references from Revelation and Isaiah. That’s the heart of it: worthiness isn’t earned by us; it’s His nature. The repetition isn’t lazy; it’s the sound of a church agreeing out loud.

One line says, “Wewe ni chaguo langu la milele” — You are my eternal choice. That’s the surrender. Not just singing about worth, but living like He’s worth everything. The song leaves you in that tension between declaring and actually bending the knee.
