Evelyn Wanjiru - Mungu Mkuu - Zaidi Ya Yote Lyrics

“Mungu Mkuu – Zaidi Ya Yote” by Evelyn Wanjiru is a Swahili worship song whose refrain says that above all else God remains the great God, the Alpha and Omega who never changes. The English gloss at the end of the page reads, “Above all, you will still be God, the beginning and the end, you never change.” The title phrase “Zaidi ya yote” means “above all.”

The verses point to God’s greatness in every direction, north, south, east, and west, and say that no human being is perfect compared with Him. The call that every knee bow and every tongue confess that He alone is God is close to Philippians 2:10-11, and the title Alpha and Omega comes from Revelation 22:13. The statement that He does not change recalls Malachi 3:6.

The third verse turns to personal testimony: God fought battles the singer could not fight alone, and enemies who pursued were scattered in seven ways, a picture close to Deuteronomy 28:7. The song’s message is praise to a God who is greater than every circumstance.
