Evelyn Wanjiru - Sifa Zitande Lyrics

"Sifa Zitande" ("Let Praise Spread") is a Swahili praise song built entirely around the ambition of its title: that praise for God's name would spread and resound everywhere. The opening lines address God as the Holy One of Israel and give thanks for his holy name, before the chorus repeats the central request, let praise spread, let praise resound, let the name of Jesus be praised everywhere. A second verse calls listeners to sing joyful songs and to declare God's wonderful deeds, widening the song from personal thanksgiving into public proclamation. Later lines direct that same spreading praise toward "Baba" (Father), asking that it reach Him directly, while a closing vamp repeats short exclamations and calls to lift up Jesus. Structurally the song builds through repetition rather than narrative development, layering short praise phrases so a congregation can join quickly and sustain the energy through an extended celebratory close, consistent with its use as an upbeat gospel praise recording.
