Lyrics

Chorus (Repeat x4)


Nimekutana na wewe Yesu
Nimekuona Elohim ukitenda


Verse 1


Sijawahi ona upendo wa namna hii
Tangu nikupate Yesu, nikapata raha
Sijawahi ona anayetibu kama wewe
Sijawahi ona anayenielewa kama wewe


Verse 2


Nimekuona kwa huduma yangu
Nimekuona kwa jamaa langu
Nimekuona kwa kazi yangu
Nimekuona ukitenda
Nimekuona ukibadilisha
Nimekuona ukiinua


Chorus (Repeat)


Outro


Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Usifiwe!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Nakupenda

Meaning & Inspiration

"Nimekutano Na Wewe" ("I Have Met You") opens with a repeated personal testimony, naming a direct encounter with Jesus and a witnessed act of Elohim at work, treating both titles together as describing one and the same God. That pairing, Jesus named alongside Elohim, grounds the song's testimony in both intimate encounter and ancient divine identity.

Its verses list specific areas of life touched by that encounter, ministry, family, and work, naming each as a place where change and lifting up have been personally witnessed. Repeating never having seen love, healing, or understanding like this before gives the song's testimony a comparative weight against every prior relationship.

Sung in Swahili within East African worship tradition, the song functions as an extended personal testimony of encountering God across every area of life, its closing outro reducing that entire testimony to two simple declarations, praise due and love expressed, as the song's final, settled response.
