Lyrics
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
Ni nani awezaye kusimama mbele yako
Ni nani aliyetangulia kukupa
Hata mimi unipe
Kile kilicho chini ya mbingu nzima
Ni chako wewe
Hutonyamaza kusema
Habari za njia zangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu
U mwema baba, umwema Yesu
Umwema mwokozi wangu

Meaning & Inspiration
Christina Shusho’s release of “Yesu Yu Mwema” on May 11, 2013, offers a profound declaration of God’s unwavering goodness, a truth that resonates deeply within the heart of every believer. The song’s central message, a repetitive yet powerful affirmation that Jesus is good, is not merely a casual observation but a theological cornerstone, echoing the biblical assurance found in Psalm 34:8, which exhorts us to “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” The repeated phrase, “U mwema baba, umwema Yesu, Umwema mwokozi wangu” (You are good, Father, you are good, Jesus, You are my good Savior), serves as a constant reminder of the triune nature of God’s goodness, encompassing the Father, the Son, and His redemptive work as Savior. This isn't a song about fleeting emotions; it’s a testament to an immutable characteristic of God, a divine attribute that forms the bedrock of our faith.
The latter part of the song delves into a humble acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty and unmatched power. Lines like “Ni nani awezaye kusimama mbele yako?” (Who can stand before you?) and “Kile kilicho chini ya mbingu nzima, Ni chako wewe” (Everything under the whole heaven belongs to you) directly reference the omnipotence and ownership of God described throughout Scripture. This sentiment is powerfully captured in Deuteronomy 10:14, which states, “To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.” The recognition that all creation is God's is not meant to diminish human worth, but to elevate our understanding of the Creator’s majestic dominion. Furthermore, the introspective turn with “Hutonyamaza kusema Habari za njia zangu” (You will not be silent in telling the news of my paths) speaks to God’s intimate knowledge and active involvement in our lives. This echoes the promise in Jeremiah 29:11, where God assures us, “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” Shusho’s rendition, with its focus on the message over elaborate melody, invites listeners to pause and reflect on these fundamental truths, drawing strength and assurance from the consistent goodness of God, who not only reigns supreme but also intimately guides the journey of each individual soul.
