Lyrics
Nimekuona ulivyotukuka enzini mwako
Mfalme wa wafalme wewe ni wathamani
Mtakatifu wa watakatifu wote
Hakuna kama wewe, wewe ni wathamani
Utukufu heshima uweza pia mamalaka
Ni zako wewe Bwana, Yesu wathamani
Enzini pako, umejaa utukufu mwingi
Umerembeka sana, wewe ni wathamani
Maserafi na makerubi, wasema mtakatifu
Unastahili milele yote, mfalme wathamani
Ninaungana na jeshi la mbinguni kuleta
Ibada iwe manukato kwako, wewe wathamani
Sina mwingine wakuabudu mimi,
Ila ni wewe Bwana wewe wa thamani
Nakuabudu kwa roho pia na kweli Yesu
Mfalme wa walfame, wewe ni wathamani

Shukurani na baraka, Wewe ni wathamani
Uliyekuwepo, wewe uliyepo
Utakayekuwepo wewe ni wathamani .
Barabara yako imeundwa kwa dhahabu
Fedha na dhahabu, zote zako wewe wathamani
Hata nguo yako inapigiwa kurana na walinzi
Nani kama wewe Mungu wa thamani
Nayo damu yako, inaondowa uwovu wote
Tabibu wa matabibu , wewe ni wathamani
Wewe ni ukweli, tena njia na uzima wa milele
Mfalme wa wafalme, wewe ni wathamani
Na jina lako, limeinuliwa juu sana

Nayo mikono yangu, nakuinulia wewe Baba
Magoti nakupigia, Yesu wathamani

Meaning & Inspiration
“Wathamani” is a Swahili song of adoration centered on the worthiness, holiness, and majesty of Jesus. Its language pictures the King enthroned in glory while seraphim and cherubim declare that he is holy. The singer joins that heavenly worship with lifted hands, bowed knees, thanksgiving, blessing, and praise. Repeated descriptions of Jesus as precious, eternal, mighty, and without equal give the song the character of sustained worship rather than personal storytelling.
Several lines closely echo biblical worship scenes. The declaration that glory, honor, power, and authority belong to the Lord recalls the praise offered before God’s throne in Revelation 4. The desire to worship in spirit and truth directly reflects Jesus’ words in John 4. The song also names Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life, drawing on John 14:6. Together, these images present worship as a response to Christ’s holiness, saving blood, enduring reign, and incomparable name.
