Lyrics
Yahweh ehhh
Naye ko gumbamela yo
Yahweh ehh
Naye ko Gumbamela yo
Liboso nayo napusani naye
kogumbamela yo
Maboko nanga natomboli
Naye kogumbamela yo
Yahweh naye ko Gumbamela yo ×2
Liboso nayo napusani naye ko gumbamela yo
Maboko nanga na tomboli
Naye ko gumbamela yo
Baba mimi ninakuabudu
Baba mimi ninakuabudu
Mbele zako ninainama
Mimi ninakuabudu
Mikono yangu nikua
Mimi ninakuabudu
Everlasting father
Here I am to bow before You
Jehovah Jireh
Here I am to bow before You
In Your presence I bow down
Here I am to bow before You
I lift my hands to worship You
Here I am to bow before You
Yahweh Yahweh ...
Yahweh naye ko Gumbamela yo ×2
Liboso nayo napusani naye ko gumbamela yo
Maboko nanga na tomboli
Naye ko gumbamela yo
Ninakupenda eeeh
Ninakupenda eeh

Meaning & Inspiration
Henri Papa Mulaja’s “Yahweh” centers on the physical postures of worship—bowing low and lifting hands. The repeated line “Here I am to bow before You” frames worship as a deliberate, humble approach rather than a casual act. The song addresses God through names that carry weight: Yahweh, Everlasting Father, Jehovah Jireh. Those names point to a God who is eternal, personal, and faithful to provide. The Swahili phrases “Ninakuabudu” and “Ninakupenda” move from reverence to affection, showing worship as both awe and love.
Bowing in Scripture often signals surrender before majesty, while lifted hands accompany prayer and blessing. The song mirrors that movement without explaining it, letting the gesture speak. The refrain “Liboso nayo napusani” describes drawing near to God’s presence, and the song’s simplicity keeps the focus on relationship rather than performance. By repeating the covenant name Yahweh, the track ties present devotion to the God who reveals Himself faithfully across generations, inviting a wholehearted response that is both personal and grounded in biblical worship.
