Oooh Tunakuabudu Bwana tukisema unatosha
Tunakuabudu Bwana tukisema unatosha

Meaning & Inspiration
Frank Njuguna's "Hossana Hosanna Uliye Juu," released on August 10, 2018, stands as a vibrant testament to God's all-encompassing sufficiency and worthiness of praise. This Swahili worship anthem immediately immerses us in a powerful narrative of adoration, focusing on the profound truth that God alone is enough for every human need and desire. At its core, the song is a direct address to the divine, an earnest declaration that we worship, lift, honor, and glorify the Lord, consistently affirming the central message that He "unatosha"—He is sufficient, He is enough. This foundational truth serves as an anchor, drawing the worshiper into a deeper understanding of God's character and provision.
The song’s lyrical structure builds around the exclamatory "Hosanna Hosanna uliye juu" (Hosanna Hosanna, You who are above), a phrase echoing the cries of praise found in Matthew 21:9 as Jesus entered Jerusalem, signifying profound reverence for the Most High. This is coupled with the powerful identifier, "Mwanakondoo wa Mungu" (Lamb of God), which immediately invokes the rich theological imagery of Christ's sacrifice and redemptive work, as seen in John 1:29 where John the Baptist proclaims Jesus as the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. By marrying "Lamb of God" with "unatosha," Njuguna beautifully asserts that the very act of atonement through Christ is the ultimate display of God's sufficiency, providing salvation, reconciliation, and eternal life for all who believe. This theme resonates deeply with Philippians 4:19, assuring us that "My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus."
As the song progresses, it expands on the multifaceted nature of God's sufficiency, moving beyond mere existence to active intervention in human lives. The lyrics declare, "Tunakutuza Bwana tukisema unaponya" (We honor You, Lord, saying You heal), echoing biblical promises of divine restoration found in passages like Isaiah 53:5, where by His wounds we are healed, and Psalm 103:3, which proclaims God "forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases." This segment reassures us of God's compassionate nature and His power to bring wholeness. Furthermore, the song celebrates God as one who "unaokoa" (You save), a central tenet of the Christian faith rooted in verses like Romans 10:9, where confession of faith in Jesus leads to salvation, and Acts 4:12, declaring salvation is found in no one else. This affirmation serves as a reminder of the foundational gift of redemption offered through Christ.
The declarations culminate in a recognition of God's boundless power: "Tunakutukuza Yahweh, Tunakutuza Bwana tukisema unaweza" (We glorify You, Yahweh, We honor You, Lord, saying You are able/You can). The use of "Yahweh" adds a layer of intimate reverence for the covenant-keeping God. The affirmation "unaweza" draws parallels to numerous scriptural passages highlighting God’s omnipotence, such as Matthew 19:26, which states, "With God all things are possible," and Jeremiah 32:17, acknowledging nothing is too hard for Him. The song then extends to praise God for His ability to "unainua" (You lift up), a comforting truth for those facing trials, aligning with James 4:10, "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." The closing line, "Tuna mavujo na zaidi ya mawazo" (We have overflows and more than thoughts/imagination), powerfully encapsulates the boundless nature of God's blessings and provision, suggesting an experience of grace that exceeds human comprehension, much like the promise in Ephesians 3:20 that God "is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine." "Hossana Hosanna Uliye Juu" ultimately serves as a deeply encouraging and faith-affirming piece, calling believers to a life of worship rooted in the unwavering certainty of God’s complete sufficiency in every aspect of existence.
