Lyrics
Verse 1
Ninajulikana mbinguni, ninaheshimiwa mbinguni
Nimehesabiwa na Yesu mwenyewe
Ananitsha milele
Ninajulikana kwa Baba, ninaendelea kwa Yesu
Nimehesabiwa mbinguni juu
Amenipenda mimi mwokozi
Verse 2
Sijajiweka mwenyewe mimi mwenzio
Nimewekwa na Mungu
Sijawai jitambulisha mwenyewe
Nimetambulishwa na Baba
Walisemezana tusimtambulishe huyu
Nimetambulishwa mbinguni ii
Verse 3
Wakasema tusimchague, nimechaguliwa mbinguni
Wakasema tusimkubali, nimekubaliwa na Baba
Nimewekwa na Mungu mwenyewe, najulikana mbinguni
Hahaa najulikana mbingu
Chorus
Ninajulikana mbinguni, ninaendelea na Yesu
Ninajulikana mbinguni, ninaendelea na Yesu
Ninajulikana mbinguni, ninaendelea na Yesu
Ninajulikana mbinguni, ninaendelea na Yesu
Bridge
Unajulikana mbinguni rafiki, mbingu inakujua
Wametangaziana wasikusaidie, umesaidiwa na Mungu
Wameambizana wasikutendee mema, umetendewa na Baba
Wamesema wasikufute kwenye ukoo wao, umeandikiswa mbinguni
Wamekataa kukutambulisha, unatambulishwa na Mungu
Walisema hawatakujibu kabisa umeponywa na Mungu
Wamekataa kukubeba, utabebwa na Yahweh
Hujui vile nimependwa na Mungu
Chorus
Ninajulikana mbinguni, ninaendelea na Yesu
Ninajulikana mbinguni, ninaendelea na Yesu
Ninajulikana mbinguni, ninaendelea na Yesu
Ninajulikana mbinguni, ninaendelea na Yesu

Meaning & Inspiration
Ninajulikana Mbinguni is a Swahili song about being known and counted in heaven. The refrain says "Ninajulikana mbinguni," meaning "I am known in heaven," and that the singer is honored there, counted by Jesus Himself and loved by the Savior. The verses say the singer did not put themselves where they are, but was placed by God, introduced by the Father, chosen and accepted in heaven.
A later section turns to the listener, saying that even if others decided not to help, give good, acknowledge or carry the person, God has helped, treated well, written the name in heaven and will carry. The themes echo Luke 10:20 on names written in heaven, Ephesians 1:4-6 on being chosen, Psalm 27:10 and Isaiah 46:4. Repetition of the refrain makes the song an assurance of identity in God, and its tone is confident and encouraging.
