Christopher Mwahangila - Nasema Asante Lyrics

Lyrics

Huu wimbo ni wimbo wa shukrani

Usikie Mungu wangu

Niseme nini kwako

Nilipe nini kwako

Sina cha kulipa mbele zako Mungu wangu

Huu wimbo ni shukurani ni shukurani kwako

Iyoo yoo yoo yo

Nasema asante

Ewe Mungu wangu

(rudia *2)

Hakuna Mungu kama wewe

Ewe Mungu wangu

(rudia *2)

Kwa kazi ya msalaba goligota uliniokota

Niseme nini mbele zako Bwana wangu nashukuru

Umenipa heshima umefuta aibu

Niseme nini mbele zako Baba nashukuru

Umekuwa wa kwanza umekuwa wa mwisho

Alfa Omega Baba niwewe

Wewe ni Alfa na Omega

Ewe Mungu wangu

(rudia *2)

Wewe Mungu ni Wakwanza na wa mwisho

Ewe Mungu wangu

Umerejesha yaliyoliwa Bwana

Na palale na madumadu

Umewaweka chini yangu Bwana

Adui zangu wote

Nasema asante

Ewe Mungu wangu

Hakuna Mungu kama wewe

Ewe Mungu wangu

Meaning & Inspiration

When Christopher Mwahangila puts pen to paper, the focus rarely drifts from the sheer weight of God’s grace. In Nasema Asante, he leans into a posture of radical humility that we often lose in our modern rush. He begins with the honest question, "Niseme nini kwako?" which perfectly echoes the wonder of Psalm 116:12, where the psalmist asks what he can possibly render to the Lord for all His benefits. Mwahangila recognizes that his debt is infinite and his capacity to repay is nonexistent, positioning himself exactly where every believer belongs: at the feet of the Father with empty hands and a full mouth of praise.

The song pivots on the theological weight of the cross, specifically the line about being picked up at Golgotha. This is the engine of the entire piece. When he sings about the work of the cross, he is rooting his thanksgiving in the objective reality of justification. He acknowledges that God has wiped away his shame and given him honor, mirroring the promise in Isaiah 61:3 to provide a crown of beauty instead of ashes. It is not a vague feeling of gratitude; it is a specific response to the substitutionary atonement. He knows he was plucked from the wreckage of his own life, and the only logical response is the repetitive, persistent "Nasema asante."

Mwahangila doesn't stop at personal salvation; he moves into the sovereign nature of God. By repeatedly calling Him the Alpha and Omega, he anchors his praise in the truth of Revelation 22:13. This declares that God is the author and the finisher of everything, including his own circumstances. When he talks about God restoring what the locusts have eaten—a direct reference to Joel 2:25—he is professing faith in a God who doesn't just forgive sin but actively restores the years of our lives that seemed lost to darkness. He isn't just reciting theology; he is weaponizing it against his enemies, asserting that God has placed them beneath him, confirming that the victory already belongs to Christ. This song is a bold reminder that gratitude is not just an emotion, but a defiant act of worship that insists God is still on the throne regardless of what the enemy throws our way.
