Evelyn Wanjiru - Mungu Mkuu (Zaidi ya Yote) Lyrics
Lyrics
Unabaki kuwa Mungu pekee
Zaidi ya yote
Utabaki kuwa Mungu
Alfa na Omega
Hubadiliki kamwe iyee
Zaidi ya yote
Utabaki kuwa Mungu
Alfa na Omega
Hubadiliki kamwe iyee
Nikitazama nyuma na mbele, naona ukuu wako
Kaskazini, kusini pia, naona ukuu wako
Magharibi nako mashariki pia, naona ukuu wako
Zaidi ya yote
Utabaki kuwa Mungu
Alfa na Omega
Hubadiliki kamwe iyee
Zaidi ya yote
Utabaki kuwa Mungu
Alfa na Omega
Hubadiliki kamwe iyee
Hakuna mkamilifu katika wanadamu
Zaidi ya ewe Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu mmmh
Kila goti lipigwe, kila ulimi ukiri
Kuwa wewe ni Mungu pekee, pekee, ni wewe
Zaidi ya yote
Utabaki kuwa Mungu
Alfa na Omega
Hubadiliki kamwe iyee
Zaidi ya yote
Utabaki kuwa Mungu
Alfa na Omega
Hubadiliki kamwe iyee
Umenipigania vita vikali
Bado mimi singeweza pekee yangu
Maadui waliniandama
Lakini ukawatawanya kwa njia saba
Usifiwe, uabudiwe
Zaidi ya yote
Utabaki kuwa Mungu
Alfa na Omega
Hubadiliki kamwe iyee
Zaidi ya yote
Utabaki kuwa Mungu
Alfa na Omega
Hubadiliki kamwe iyee
Halleluyah
Ninakuabudu Baba yangu wee mmmh
Haubadiliki kamwe
Anabaki kuwa, Mungu tuu
Anabaki kuwa, Mungu tuu
Na kwa wakamba, Mungu tuu
Na kwa waluhyha, Mungu tuu
Na wakikuyu, Mungu tuu
Na waturkana, Mungu tuu
Hata wakisii, Mungu tuu
Hata waluo, Mungu tuu
Na kwa wamasai, Mungu tuu
Na kwa wakalenjin, Mungu tuu
Wamijikenda, , Mungu tuu
Anabaki kuwa, Mungu tuu
Na kwa wazungu, Mungu tuu
Africa yote, Mungu tuu
Dunia yote, Mungu tuu
Utabaki kuwa Mungu mkuu
Atabaki kuwa Mungu
Utabaki kuwa Mungu mkuu
Zaidi ya yote
Utabaki kuwa Mungu
Alfa na Omega
Hubadiliki kamwe iyee
Zaidi ya yote
Utabaki kuwa Mungu Mkuu

Meaning & Inspiration
Evelyn Wanjiru's "Mungu Mkuu (Zaidi ya Yote)," released in 2014, is a powerful declaration of God's sovereignty and unchanging nature, resonating deeply with themes found throughout Scripture. The song's central message, as conveyed by its title which translates to "Great God (Above All Else)," immediately establishes a foundational truth: that God reigns supreme, irrespective of circumstances or time. This echoes the prophet Isaiah's declaration, "Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me" (Isaiah 43:10), underscoring the uniqueness and eternality of the Divine. The lyrics repeatedly affirm God's immutability, referring to Him as the "Alpha and Omega" and stating "He never changes." This speaks to the steadfastness of God's character and His promises, a concept woven into the very fabric of Christian faith. As the book of Hebrews assures us, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8), a truth that provides immense comfort and security in a world of constant flux.
The personal testimony within the song, where Wanjiru reflects on looking "back and forward," seeing God's greatness in every direction, aligns with the Psalmist's reflection on God's ever-present hand. Psalm 139 beautifully captures this intimate knowledge and presence of God: "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there" (Psalm 139:7-8). The acknowledgment that human perfection is absent, contrasting with God's absolute righteousness, directly points to the core Christian doctrine of sin and redemption. The call for "every knee to bow and every tongue to confess" that He is God is a direct echo of Philippians 2:10-11, which foretells a universal recognition of Christ's lordship. Furthermore, the powerful lyrics about God fighting battles and scattering enemies vividly portray the divine intervention and protection experienced by believers. This resonates with numerous biblical accounts, such as God's deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt (Exodus 14) or David's victories against his adversaries, often attributed to God's strength rather than his own. The inclusion of various ethnic groups in the song, all declaring "Mungu tuu" (God alone), is a beautiful testament to the universality of the Gospel, demonstrating that God's reign transcends cultural and tribal boundaries, a vision echoed in Revelation 7:9 where John sees "every nation, tribe, people and language." Ultimately, "Mungu Mkuu (Zaidi ya Yote)" is not merely a song but a profound theological statement set to music, offering an inspiring and unwavering affirmation of faith in the Almighty God who remains, above all, Mungu Mkuu.
