Bony Mwaitege - Yesu Yupo Lyrics
Lyrics
Jamani Yesu Yupo
Ni kweli Yesu Yupo
Ni kweli Yesu Yupo
Tunamtangaza yupo
Tumeona kazi zake x3
Nilikuwa ninasimuliwa miujiza ya Yesu
Nimeona kwa macho yangu nimejua yupo
Nilikuwa ninasimuliwa kwamba Yesu anaponya
Nimeona kwa macho yangu nimejua Yupo
Ona wengi majambazi Yesu kawabadilisha
Nimeona kwa macho yangu nimejua yupo
Waliokuwa machangundoa sasa hivi ni wahubiri
Yesu kawabadilisha nimejua yupo
Jamani Yesu yupo, ndugu zangu Yesu yupo
Ninatangaza yupo, nimeona kazi zake
Jamani Yesu Yupo
Ni kweli Yesu Yupo
Ni kweli Yesu Yupo
Tunamtangaza yupo
Tumeona kazi zake x3
Lazaro alikuwa kaburini zimepita siku nne
Yesu alimwita Lazaro akafufuka x2
Watu walishangaa kumuona Lazaro
Akifunguliwa sanda na kuanza kutembea X2
Jamani Yesu yupo, ndugu zangu Yesu yupo
Tunatangaza yupo, tumeona kazi zake
Jamani Yesu Yupo
Ni kweli Yesu Yupo
Ni kweli Yesu Yupo
Tunamtangaza yupo
Tumeona kazi zake x3
Likitajwa jina lake
Mashetani yanapiga kelele
Yanwatoka watu ni kweli Yesu yupo
Likitajwa jina lake
Majini yanapiga kelele
Yanwatoka watu ni kweli Yesu yupo
Wagonjwa wamefunguliwa
Kwa macho tunaona
Yesu afanye nini ili tujue yupo
Jamani Yesu Yupo
Ni kweli Yesu Yupo
Ni kweli Yesu Yupo
Tunamtangaza yupo
Tumeona kazi zake x3

Meaning & Inspiration
Bony Mwaitege's "Yesu Yupo," released on February 2, 2016, is a powerful declaration of faith that resonates with the timeless truth of Christ's presence and efficacy in the lives of believers. The song's core message is a vibrant affirmation that Jesus is alive and actively working in the world today, a reality Mwaitege underscores through personal testimony and scriptural reference. The narrative begins with a simple yet profound assertion, "Yesu Yupo" (Jesus is here), which serves as the bedrock of the entire composition. Mwaitege moves beyond hearsay, stating, "Nimeona kwa macho yangu nimejua yupo" (I have seen with my own eyes and I know He is here), mirroring the experience of the disciples who moved from hearing about Jesus to witnessing His miracles firsthand, as described in John 1:14: "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us."
The lyrical content delves into tangible evidence of Jesus' power, highlighting His transformative work in the lives of those once lost in sin. Mwaitege specifically points to the radical change witnessed in "majambazi" (thieves and bandits) who are now spreading the Gospel, and former outcasts who have become preachers. This speaks directly to the redemptive power of Christ, echoing the transformation of individuals like Saul of Tarsus (Acts 9) into the Apostle Paul. Furthermore, the song powerfully recounts the resurrection of Lazarus, a potent biblical narrative found in John 11. Mwaitege reminds us that Jesus called Lazarus forth from the grave after four days, a miracle that astonished onlookers and serves as a monumental testament to Jesus' authority over death itself, as foreshadowed in His own words in John 11:25: "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die."
The message of "Yesu Yupo" extends to the spiritual realm, emphasizing the power inherent in Jesus' name. The lyrics describe how the mere mention of His name causes "mashetani" (demons) and "majini" (spirits, often interpreted as evil spirits in this context) to flee and lose their hold on people, a concept directly supported by scripture. Philippians 2:10 states that "at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth," underscoring His supreme authority. The song concludes with a challenge that turns into a rhetorical affirmation: "Wagonjwa wamefunguliwa / Kwa macho tunaona / Yesu afanye nini ili tujue yupo" (The sick have been delivered / With our eyes we see / What more can Jesus do for us to know He is here?). This prompts reflection on the abundant evidence of God's presence and power, urging listeners to recognize and acknowledge the ongoing work of Jesus in their lives and in the world, a continuous testament to His unchanging nature as declared in Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Ultimately, "Yesu Yupo" is an encouraging anthem that solidifies faith through tangible examples and scriptural resonance, reminding us that the power and presence of Jesus are not relegated to history, but are a vibrant reality for all who believe.
