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.
