John Lisu - Yu Hai Jehovah - Alive is Jehovah Lyrics

“Yu Hai Jehovah” is a direct proclamation that Jehovah lives forever. Its short Swahili lines invite the nations to praise and sing to Jesus, then the English section restates the same confession. Repetition gives the song a communal, declarative character: the central truth is announced again and again rather than developed through a narrative. The recurring hallelujah keeps the attention on worship and the living Christ.

The lyric closely reflects biblical language about the risen Jesus, especially the declaration in Revelation that he was dead and is alive forever. Its call for all nations to offer praise also aligns with Psalm 117. By joining those themes, the song presents the resurrection as both a confession of faith and a reason for worldwide praise. The bilingual wording broadens that invitation while preserving one message throughout: Jesus is alive, eternal, and worthy of song.
