Lyrics

Shukrani kwako bwana
Ninashukuru kwa neema
Jinsi mimi niko ni wewe
Shukrani kwako Mungu
ninashukuru kwa upendo wako kwangu mimi


Nashangazwa na rehema zako
Yesu weeeeh aasante kwa neema
Nashangazwa na rehema zako
Yesu weeeh asante kwa neema


Mimi ningepotea ningewaza kuanguka
Ila upo nami muda wote
Eeeh Bwana nashangwazwa kwa wema nazo
fadhili huruma zako


Nashangazwa na rehema zako
Yesu weeeeh aasante kwa neema
Nashangazwa na rehema zako
Yesu weeeh asante kwa neema


Mimi ningepotea ningeweza kuanguka
Ila uko nami muda wote
Eeeh Bwana nashangwazwa
kwa wema nazo fadhili huruma zako


Nashangazwa na rehema zako
Yesu weeeeh asante kwa neema
Nashangazwa na rehema zako
Yesu weeeeeh asante kwa neema


Nashangazwa (mie) na rehema zako
Daddy eeeeh asante kwa neema

Meaning & Inspiration

“Nashangazwa kwa Neema Zako” is a Swahili expression of gratitude for the grace, mercy, love, and kindness of Jesus. The singer looks at personal preservation and recognizes God as the reason for still standing. Lines about being lost or falling are answered by the assurance that the Lord remains present at all times, giving the song the character of both testimony and worship.

Its emphasis on salvation by grace is consistent with Ephesians 2:8, while the repeated wonder at mercy recalls Lamentations 3:22–23. The confession that God stays near amid the possibility of falling also corresponds with Psalm 145:14, which describes the Lord upholding those who fall. Rather than presenting gratitude as a vague feeling, the lyric names grace, compassion, favor, and sustaining presence as reasons for thanksgiving. The recurring chorus strengthens that response through repetition: amazement leads to thanks, and remembered mercy leads back to praise. The closing vocal refrain leaves the song resting on the same central confession of grace.
