Lyrics
Chorus
Wakuabudiwa, wakuheshimiwa ni wewe mungu
Wakupewa sifa, na utukufu ni wewe mungu
Mungu mwenye nguvu, wastahili heshima zote
Hakuna mwingine, wakulinganishwa na wewe mungu (rudia)
Verse 1
Umesema wewe, jina lako liko na liko niwe mungu
Unafanya mambo, yaliyo juu ya fahamu zetu mungu
Ukisema ndio, nani awezaye kupinga hakuna
Wewe unatupa, kushinda na zaidi ya kushinda
Unatupandisha,utukufu hadi utukufu mungu (rudia)
Verse 2
Uzima wetu, uko mikononi mwako mungu
Unawapa nguvu, wanyonge na wadhaifu mungu
Unawanyeshea mvua wema nao waovu mungu
Mwanadamu nani, wakulinganishwa na wewe mungu
Nani mwenye nguvu, wa kusimama mbele yako mungu (rudia)

Meaning & Inspiration
“Wakuabudiwa” by Christina Shusho is a Swahili worship song centered on God as the only one worthy of praise and honor. The chorus calls Him the one to be worshipped, honored, and given praise and glory, and says that no one can be compared to Him.
The first verse speaks of His name, His works beyond human understanding, and the power of His word: when He says yes, no one can oppose. It adds that He gives believers victory and more than victory, and lifts them from glory to glory. The second verse places life in His hands, says He strengthens the weak, and notes that He sends rain on both the good and the wicked. It ends with questions: who is man to be compared to God, and who can stand before Him?
The lyrics are close to Romans 8:37, 2 Corinthians 3:18 and Matthew 5:45. Each stanza returns to the same conclusion: God alone is worthy.
