Christina Shusho - Muimbieni Bwana Lyrics

“Muimbieni Bwana” is a concise Swahili call to praise the Lord for his wonderful deeds. The central command, “Muimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya,” invites the offering of a new song, while the reason for that praise remains fixed: God has done marvelous things. Rather than developing a long narrative, the lyric relies on repetition to keep both the invitation and its foundation unmistakable. Praise is presented as a direct response to what God has accomplished.

The wording closely follows Psalm 98:1, where a new song is sung to the Lord because he has done marvelous things. It also corresponds with Psalm 96:1, another call for all the earth to sing a new song to the Lord. These references place the short refrain within the biblical language of communal worship. Its repeated lines make the song suitable for shared praise, with attention centered on God’s works and the fitting response of song.
