Lyrics

Inuka msifu Bwana 


Inuka msifu Bwana 


Kwa maana fadhili zake 


zadumu hata milele  


Alituumba tumtukuze 


Tumpambe na sifa ni mwema 


Hakuna Mungu kama yeye 


Inuka msifu Bwana 


Inuka msifu Bwana 


Inuka msifu Bwana 


Kwa maana fadhili zake 


zadumu hata milele  


Tunapomsifu anainuka 


Anatenda mambo ya ajabu 


Sifa zetu kama manukato 


Inuka umsifu Bwana 


Akufunikaye na mbawa zake 


Akuondolea misiba yako 


Afanyaye nderemo za shangwe 


Zisikike nyumbani mwako, inuka 


Inuka msifu Bwana 


Inuka msifu Bwana 


Kwa maana fadhili zake 


zadumu hata milele  


Simama msifu Bwana 


Simama msifu Bwana 


Kwa maana fadhili zake 


zadumu hata milele  


Tembea msifu Bwana 


Tembea msifu Bwana 


Kwa maana fadhili zake 


zadumu hata milele  


Simama simama 


Simama msifu Bwana 


Tembea tembea 


Tembea msifu Bwana 


Inuka msifu Bwana 


Inuka msifu Bwana 


Kwa maana fadhili zake 


zadumu hata milele

Meaning & Inspiration

Inuka - Msifu Bwana is a Swahili call to rise and praise the Lord because His steadfast love endures forever. The recurring invitation expands from rising to standing and walking, turning praise into an active, communal response to God’s goodness. The song names God as Creator and describes honor, joyful celebration, and fragrant praise offered to Him. Its central refrain closely reflects the repeated biblical declaration that the Lord is good and His mercy lasts forever.

The verses also portray God as a protector who covers His people and as the giver of deliverance and joy within the home. Praise is presented not as passive language but as a confident acknowledgment of God’s character and marvelous works. Psalm 136 most clearly supports the refrain about enduring mercy, while Psalm 150 supports the broad summons to praise. The result is a direct song of thanksgiving whose repeated commands invite visible, joyful devotion to the Lord.
