Lyrics
Tulia tulia na ujue mimi ni Mungu wako
Upitapo chini ya uvuli wa mauti usiwe na Hofu
asema Bwana yuko pamoja nawe
atembea nawe, afuta machozi
Tulia, ujue yeye ni Mungu wako.
Tulia tulia na ujue mimi ni Mungu wako
Tulia tulia na ujue mimi ni Mungu wako.
Shida nyingi, mateso mengi, kilio kingi duniani
Jipe moyo utashinda,
aliyeanzisha, kazi nzuri ndani yako
Ni mwaminifu kutimiza.
Tulia tulia na ujue mimi ni Mungu wako
Tulia tulia na ujue mimi ni Mungu wako.
Yebo
wako ooh
Tulia tulia na ujue mimi ni Mungu wako
Akisema, Atatenda
Ahadi zake hazivunjiki kamwe
Wewe Jehovah rafa, Jehova Jireh, Ebeneza
Ahadi zake hazivunjiki kamwe
Elshadai, Elohim, Ebeneza
Ahadi zako hazivunjiki kamwe
Tulia tulia na ujue mimi ni Mungu wako
Tulia tulia na ujue mimi ni Mungu wako.
Usilie ewe dada
Tulia tulia na ujue mimi ni Mungu wako.
Usilie mama, usilie baba
Tulia tulia na ujue mimi ni Mungu wako.
Yebo
Tulia tulia na ujue mimi ni Mungu wako.

Meaning & Inspiration
Tulia na ujue mimi ni Mungu wako is a Swahili song of reassurance rooted in God’s presence and faithfulness. Its repeated call to be still answers fear, suffering, tears, and the shadow of death with confidence that the Lord remains near. The lyrics describe God as one who walks alongside the troubled, wipes tears, keeps promises, and completes the good work already begun. Names such as Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Jireh, El Shaddai, and Elohim broaden the song’s confession of divine healing, provision, strength, and rule.
The refrain clearly echoes Psalm 46:10, with its command to be still and know God. The line about passing through the shadow of death draws directly from Psalm 23:4, where God’s presence removes the basis for fear. Philippians 1:6 is also quoted in substance through the assurance that the One who began a good work will bring it to completion. These passages make stillness an expression of trust rather than passivity, especially amid hardship.
