Lyrics
Usidharau mtu yeyote duniani
Kesho ya mtu ni mungu ajuae
Usidharau mtu yeyote duniani
Kesho ya mtu ni mungu ajuae
Heshimu watu kesho ni ya mungu
Heshimu wengine kesho ni ya mungu
Unayemwona yuko chini
Kesho atakuwa juu
Unayekopesha leo
Kesho atakukopesha
Maskini wa leo
Ndiye tajiri wa kesho
Masaa na nyakati ni ya mungu
Alichokipanga kesho sisi hatujui
Majira na nyakati yako mikononi mwa mungu
Mambo ya mungu mengi yatakushangaza
Usidharau mtu yeyote duniani
Kesho ya mtu ni mungu ajuae
Usidharau mtu yeyote duniani
Kesho ya mtu ni mungu ajuae
Heshimu watu kesho ni ya mungu
Heshimu wengine kesho ni ya mungu
Ata kama umefika wa kwanza barabara hasitafungwa
Tuko sote kwa safarini ipo siku tutafika
Aliyekuinua wewe atainua na wengine
Aliyekupangisha wewe bado atapangisha
Hoo nauliza kiburi cha nini?
Usidharau mtu yeyote duniani
Kesho ya mtu ni mungu ajuae
Usidharau mtu yeyote duniani
Kesho ya mtu ni mungu ajuae
Heshimu watu kesho ni ya mungu
Heshimu wengine kesho ni ya mungu
Jifunze kuheshimu watu ni wa maana
Mtu yeyote mbele za mungu ni wa maana
Heshimu tu
Mama mboga ni wa maana
Mtu wa bodaa ni wa maana
Makanga wa gari ni wa maana
Heshimu tu
Maskini ni wa maana
Na tajiri pia ni wa maana
Mbele za mungu ni wa maana
Heshimu tu
Usidharau mtu yeyote duniani
Kesho ya mtu ni mungu ajuae
Usidharau mtu yeyote duniani
Kesho ya mtu ni mungu ajuae
Heshimu watu kesho ni ya mungu
Heshimu wengine kesho ni ya mungu
Unayemwona yuko chini
Kesho atakuwa juu
Unayekopesha leo
Kesho atakukopesha
Maskini wa leo
Ndiye tajiri wa kesho
Masaa na nyakati ni ya mungu
Alichokipanga kesho sisi hatujui
Majira na nyakati yako mikononi mwa mungu
Mambo ya mungu mengi yatakushangaza
Usidharau mtu yeyote duniani
Kesho ya mtu ni mungu ajuae
Usidharau mtu yeyote duniani
Kesho ya mtu ni mungu ajuae
Heshimu watu kesho ni ya mungu
Heshimu wengine kesho ni ya mungu
Ata kama umefika wa kwanza barabara hasitafungwa
Tuko sote kwa safarini ipo siku tutafika
Aliyekuinua wewe atainua na wengine
Aliyekupangisha wewe bado atapangisha
Hoo nauliza kiburi cha nini?
Usidharau mtu yeyote duniani
Kesho ya mtu ni mungu ajuae
Usidharau mtu yeyote duniani
Kesho ya mtu ni mungu ajuae
Heshimu watu kesho ni ya mungu
Heshimu wengine kesho ni ya mungu
Jifunze kuheshimu watu ni wa maana
Mtu yeyote mbele za mungu ni wa maana
Heshimu tu
Mama mboga ni wa maana
Mtu wa bodaa ni wa maana
Makanga wa gari ni wa maana
Heshimu tu
Maskini ni wa maana
Na tajiri pia ni wa maana
Mbele za mungu ni wa maana
Heshimu tu

Meaning & Inspiration
“Usidharau Mtu” is a Swahili exhortation to treat every person with dignity because present circumstances do not determine the future. The lyric challenges pride by observing that someone who appears low today may rise tomorrow, while a person able to lend today may later need help. Farmers, traders, transport workers, rich people, and poor people are all presented as valuable before God. Its recurring question about the reason for arrogance sharpens the call to humility.
The song places times and changing circumstances in God’s hands, admitting that human beings do not know what has been appointed for tomorrow. That emphasis closely reflects James 4:13-16, which warns against boasting about plans while life remains dependent on God’s will. Its insistence on honoring people also accords with James 2:1-5, where favoritism based on social standing is rejected. The result is a practical gospel message about humility, equal worth, and respect across economic differences.
