Lyrics
Yesu jina lako, limeinuliwa juu
Lapita maina Yote, twakuabudu
Yesu jina lako, ni dawa kwa mataifa
Wastahili wewe tu, Bwana
Umezungukwa na utukufu wako
Umejivika heshima kama vazi
Hakuna kama wewe
(rudia)
Mshauri wa ajabu
Mungu mwenye nguvu
Baba wa milele
Nani kama wewe
Nani kama wewe
Kuhani mwombezi
Rafiki nana kama wewe
Hakuna kama wewe wakufanana
Wakufanana nawe hakunaa
Wakulingana nawe hakunaa
Hakuna mwingine kama wewe
(rudia)
Una nguvu, una nguvu
Una nguvu Bwana
(rudia)
Haleluya Haleluya
Haleluya Bwana
Mtakatifu Mtakatifu
Mtakatifu Bwana
Wakufanana nawe hakunaa
Wakulingana nawe hakunaa
Hakuna mwingine kama wewe
(rudia)

Meaning & Inspiration
“Jina La Yesu” is a Swahili worship song that exalts the name and character of Jesus. The lyric declares that his name is raised above every other name and describes him as worthy of worship. Titles such as Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, and Everlasting Father deepen that confession, while repeated statements that none can compare with him sustain an atmosphere of reverence. References to glory, holiness, strength, and intercession keep the song centered on who Christ is rather than on personal achievement.
The words clearly recall several biblical passages. Philippians 2:9 speaks of God giving Jesus the name above every name, and Isaiah 9:6 supplies the royal titles echoed in the song. The repeated acclamation of holiness also resembles the worship scene in Revelation 4:8. Together, these connections frame the lyric as adoration of Christ’s unmatched authority and holiness. Its recurring Swahili phrases reinforce a single confession: Jesus alone is worthy, strong, holy, and without equal.
