John Lisu - Wastahili Sifa Lyrics

"Wastahili Sifa" ("You Are Worthy of Praise") repeats a single declaration throughout, naming Jesus worthy of praise and insisting that nothing compares to him. Its structure relies almost entirely on that repeated claim, allowing brief variation, calling him exalted, calling him God, to deepen rather than replace the central statement.

The bridge shifts toward a list of titles, naming God able to do all things, calling him Jehovah Jireh, and describing him as King of glory, tying the song's general praise to specific, biblically rooted names for God. That naming gives concrete content to what might otherwise remain a vague expression of admiration.

The closing lines address God directly as "Lord of lords," repeating the instruction to receive praise because no one else compares. Rooted in Swahili praise and worship tradition, the song functions as sustained, repeated adoration, using accumulated titles and declarations of incomparability to build toward an extended act of corporate praise.
