Mungu wa Ibrahimu ni mungu wetu leo,
Mungu wa Daniel ni mungu wetu pia habadiliki,
Hafananishwi mungu wa Isaka, anatimiza ahadi.

Timiza ahadi anatimiza ahadi
Timiza ahadi anatimiza ahadi
Mungu mwaminifu habadiliki kamwe
Yeye atatimiza

Wakati wake Mungu si kama binadamu
Na njia zake Mungu ni njia kamilifu
Alivyoahidi Baba atatenda
Alivyoahidi Baba atatenda

Timiza ahadi anatimiza ahadi
Timiza ahadi anatimiza ahadi
Mungu mwaminifu, habadiliki kamwe
Yeye atatimiza
Yeye atatimiza
Yeye atatimiza

Meaning & Inspiration
"Anatimiza - Timiza Ahadi" ("He Fulfills - Fulfills the Promise") declares that the same God who kept promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Daniel remains unchanging and continues fulfilling his word today. Its opening verse ties present faith directly to those historical figures, framing God's faithfulness as continuous rather than limited to a past era. The repeated title phrase functions as the song's central claim, restated across each section.
The second verse contrasts divine timing and ways with human limitation, affirming that whatever has been promised will be accomplished according to God's own pattern rather than human expectation. That contrast reinforces patience as the appropriate response to unfulfilled promises, rather than doubt about God's intent.
Structured around a repeated Swahili refrain built for congregational response, the song functions as a corporate declaration of trust in God's faithfulness. Its brevity and repetition suit worship contexts where a gathered congregation affirms, together, that the God of the patriarchs remains faithful to fulfill every promise made.
