Lyrics
"Come on everybody lets give Jesus praise
He is worthy to be praised"
Kwa matendo yako viumbe vyote twakutukuza
Umejawa rehema na neema, muweza yote
Kwa matendo yako viumbe vyote twakutukuza
Umejawa rehema na neema, muweza wa yote
Wastahili milele na milele
Mungu wetu twakusifu, pokea sifa
Mungu wetu twakusifu, mtawala mwaminifu
Mwenye enzi twakuinua, pokea sifa
Wewe Mungu unaponya, wabariki wainua
Wewe pekee twakusifu, pokea sifa
Wastahili wastahili, milele na milele
Mungu wetu twakusifu, pokea sifa
Wewe Mungu hulinganishwi, hufananishwi
Na yeyote, uliumba hukuumbwa pokea sifa
Uweza wako ni wa milele, ufalme wako ni wa milele
Wewe pekee twakusifu, pokea sifa
Wastahili wastahili, milele na milele
Mungu wetu twakusifu, pokea sifa
Kwa matendo yako, viumbe vyote twakutukuza
Umejawa na rehema, neema muweza yote
Kwa matendo yako, viumbe vyote twakutukuza
Umejawa na rehema, neema muweza yote
Wastahili wastahili, milele na milele
Mungu wetu twakusifu, pokea sifa

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on October 21, 2016, "Wastahili Milele - Mungu Wetu Twakusifu Pokea Sifa" by Israel Ezekia is a profound expression of worship that centers entirely on the majesty and worthiness of God. The song's core message, echoed throughout its Swahili lyrics, is an unyielding declaration that God alone is deserving of eternal praise and adoration. This isn't just a song; it’s an invitation to acknowledge the Creator's sovereignty and unfailing grace. From the opening English exclamations setting a communal tone for praise, the piece quickly transitions into a rich tapestry of Swahili declarations that articulate the attributes of God with deep reverence. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize God's boundless mercy and grace, His omnipotence, and His faithful rulership, painting a portrait of a God who is both powerful and intimately involved in His creation. This theme resonates powerfully with numerous biblical passages, such as Psalm 145:1-3, which proclaims, "I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and glorify your name for ever and ever." The song's insistence on God's incomparability, stating that He is unequaled and was not created but is the Creator, directly aligns with Isaiah 40:25, where God asks, "To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?" Ezekia’s composition acts as a vocal echo of these scriptural truths, urging listeners to recognize God's unique and eternal dominion, much like the song of the elders in Revelation 4:11: "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." The repetition of phrases like "Wastahili milele na milele" (You are worthy forever and ever) and "Mungu wetu twakusifu, pokea sifa" (Our God we praise you, receive praise) serves to solidify this central theme, creating a meditative and immersive worship experience. The song's focus is not on intricate musical arrangements but on the pure, unadulterated message of God's ultimate worth, a message that inspires deep contemplation and heartfelt surrender, urging everyone to join in offering the highest praise to the One who is truly worthy, for all eternity.
