Lyrics
Baba we ni moto wewe mtakatifu
Wewe ndiwe Mungu pekee
Tena we sauti ukinena nani apinge
Nasema we sauti
Ukisema ni ndio na amina
Njia ya uzima, kweli na uhai niwe
Baba we ni mot wewe mtakatifu
Wewe ndiwe Mungu pekee
Nasema we sauti ukinena nani apinge
Nasema we sauti
Ukisema ni ndio na amina
Njia ya uzima, kweli na uhai niwe
Njia ya uzima, kweli na uhai niwe
Utukuzwe Bwana, utukuzwe
Utuzwe Bwana, milele
Sifa zako bado zaenea
Bwana utukuzwe
Utukuzwe Bwana, utukuzwe
Utuzwe Bwana, milele
Sifa zako bado zaenea
Bwana utukuzwe
Moyo wangu nauegemeza kwako
Na macho yangu nakuinulia tena
Uhai wangu nimeachilia kwako Baba
Wastahili nakusalimu, nakusalimu Yesu
Utukuzwe Bwana, utukuzwe
Utuzwe Bwana, milele
Sifa zako bado zaenea
Bwana utukuzwe
Hallelujah eeh, halleluja aah
Hallelujah eeh, halleluja aah
(Ni kwa nani)
Hallelujah eeh, halleluja aah
(Ni kwa Yesu)
Hallelujah eeh, halleluja aah
(Inua kabisa)
Hallelujah eeh, halleluja aah
Utukuzwe Bwana, utukuzwe
Utuzwe Bwana, milele
Sifa zako bado zaenea
Bwana utukuzwe

Meaning & Inspiration
“Utukuzwe” is a Swahili song of praise and surrender that exalts God as holy, unrivaled, and worthy of lasting honor. Its opening lines describe the Father as consuming fire and affirm that no voice can overturn what he has spoken. The lyric also identifies Christ with the way, truth, and life, giving the praise a clear confession of trust in his authority and saving identity.
The chorus repeatedly asks that the Lord be glorified and honored forever. That praise becomes personal when the singer lifts her eyes toward God, leans her heart on him, and releases her life into the Father’s care. These images suggest dependence rather than self-reliance. Repeated hallelujahs then widen the confession into communal adoration focused on Jesus. The song moves naturally from declaring who God is to offering life, attention, and honor to him.
