Lyrics

Chorus


Wakuabudiwa, wakuheshimiwa ni wewe mungu
Wakupewa sifa, na utukufu ni wewe mungu
Mungu mwenye nguvu, wastahili heshima zote
Hakuna mwingine, wakulinganishwa na wewe mungu (rudia)


Verse 1


Umesema wewe, jina lako liko na liko niwe mungu
Unafanya mambo, yaliyo juu ya fahamu zetu mungu
Ukisema ndio, nani awezaye kupinga hakuna
Wewe unatupa, kushinda na zaidi ya kushinda
Unatupandisha,utukufu hadi utukufu mungu (rudia)


Verse 2


Uzima wetu, uko mikononi mwako mungu
Unawapa nguvu, wanyonge na wadhaifu mungu
Unawanyeshea mvua wema nao waovu mungu
Mwanadamu nani, wakulinganishwa na wewe mungu
Nani mwenye nguvu, wa kusimama mbele yako mungu (rudia)

Meaning & Inspiration

"Wakuabudiwa" centers on God as the only rightful recipient of praise and honor. The repeated lyric that no one can be compared to God places worship as a response to who God is, rather than an attempt to earn divine favor. The verses expand this theme through divine action: God performs beyond human understanding, and what God has spoken no one can oppose. The song also touches on God's care for the weak and an impartial goodness that sends rain on both the righteous and the wicked, which echoes biblical teaching about common grace. Life itself is placed in God's hands, framing dependence as trust rather than fear. The rhetorical questions later in the song, asking who can stand before God, move from praise to humility, recognizing divine majesty and human smallness within the same breath. Each stanza returns to the same conclusion—God alone is worthy—so the structure itself becomes an act of worship, a steady repetition that mirrors the unceasing worthiness it proclaims.
