Lyrics
Wewe ni Mungu
Hakuna mwingine wa kuabudiwa
Unastahili sifa zote
Wewe ni Bwana aah
Tunaleta sifa zetu kwako
Maana wewe ndiwe Mungu mkuu
Tunaleta sifa zetu kwako Bwana
Tunaleta sifa zetu kwako
Maana wewe ndiwe Mungu mkuu
Tunaleta sifa zetu kwako Bwana
Usifiwe Yahweh
Usifiwe Yahweh
Kazi yako ya msalaba
Yanifanya kuwa salama
Usifwe Yahweh
Upendo wako wa milele
Umenifanya niendelee
Usifiwe Yahweh
Usifiwe Yahweh
Usifiwe Yahweh
Usifiwe Yahweh
Halleluyah Yahweh
Halleluyah Yahweh

Meaning & Inspiration
“Tunaleta Sifa” directs praise to God alone, declaring that no other is worthy of worship. The repeated offering of praise is grounded in God’s greatness, eternal love, and saving work at the cross. Addressing God as Yahweh gives the song a clear devotional center, while the hallelujah refrain turns its declarations into a sustained act of adoration.
The lyrics connect safety with the work of the cross, a theme consistent with the New Testament description of reconciliation through Christ. Their emphasis on enduring love also recalls biblical passages that present divine love as steadfast and lasting. Repetition serves the song’s message by keeping attention on God rather than on the worshiper: praise is brought because God is Lord, because his love sustains, and because salvation is associated with Christ’s sacrifice. The result is a concise Swahili praise song shaped by gratitude, reverence, and confidence in God’s saving care.
