Lyrics
|Verse|
Majina yote mazuri ni yako
[ All precious names are yours]
Eh Jehovah muumbaji wangu
[Eh Jehovah, my creator]
Nikupe jina gani
[I wonder which name I should call you]
Kwani kila la kiheri ni upekee wako!
[Because each special name is your Uniqueness]
|Chorus|
Umeniponya, nakuita Jehovah Rapha, Mungu mponyaji wangu.
[You have healed me, so I call you Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals me.]
Umeniokowa, nakuita mwokozi, Bwana Mungu wa wokovu wangu!
[You saved me, so I call you Savior, God of my salvation]
Umenipigania, nakuita Jehova nissi, bendera ya ushindi wangu.
[You fought for me, so I call you Jehovah Nissi, the banner of my victory]
|Bridge|

Usifiwe, Ee Bwana
[ Be glorified, O Lord]
Muumba wangu na nuru yangu
[My creator and my Light]
Wema wako wanijaza moyo
[your goodness fills my heart]
Wewe ndiye mucungaji wangu
[ You're my shepherd]
Tena kiongozi wa maisha yangu
[And the commander in chief of my life]
Wanitazama kama mboni ya jico lako!
[ You watch over me like the apple of your eye]
|Chorus|
————
Umenifanya kuwa kielelezo cha walio barikiwa
[ You have made me an example of those who have been blessed]
Zaidi ya yote, ukanifanya kuwa baraka, ili nami nibariki.
[ Above all, you have made me a blessing so that I may also bless]
Nimekupata na nikaridhika
[I found you and was satisfied]
Wewe ni yote ndani ya yote
[ You are all in all]

Meaning & Inspiration
"Majina Mazuri Yote Ni Yako" praises God through names that describe his care. The singer calls him Creator, healer, Savior, banner, Light, Shepherd, and guide, with each title tied to a reason for gratitude. The lyrics move from healing and rescue to protection, direction, and the satisfaction of belonging to God. The closing lines extend that blessing outward, presenting the blessed life as a means of blessing others.
The name Jehovah Rapha recalls Exodus 15:26, where God identifies himself as the one who heals. Jehovah Nissi comes from Exodus 17:15, after Moses builds an altar and names the Lord his banner. The Shepherd image clearly echoes Psalm 23:1. These passages give specific boots to the song's catalogue of names, each one pointing to an attribute of God displayed in his relationship with his people.
