Chorus


Haleluya aah
Yeye ni Mungu akisema amesema
Yeye ni Mungu
Yeye ni Baba akipanga amepanga
Yeye ni Baba
Yeye ni vyote akisema amesema
Yeye ni Mungu
Yeye ni Mungu akipanga amepanga
Maana ni Mungu


Verse 1


Amesema hatutakuwa chini
Ameshasema maana ni Mungu
Amesema kesho yetu ni kubwa
Kasema maana ni Mungu
Usilie amesema yeye ni Mungu
Usichoke kasema Yeye ni Mungu


Verse 2


Hawajajua amepanga mazuri Mungu
Wangejua kesho yako ni hivi
Wangejua wasingekukimbia
Kwa sababu unalia wamekuchoka
Wangejua wangevumilia na wewe
Wangejua leo yako ni hii
Yanayo nafuu wasingenitesa


Chorus


Haleluya aah
Yeye ni Mungu akisema amesema
Yeye ni Mungu
Yeye ni Baba akipanga amepanga
Yeye ni Baba
Yeye ni vyote akisema amesema
Yeye ni Mungu
Yeye ni Mungu akipanga amepanga
Maana ni Mungu


Verse 3


Kwa sababu tuko na Mungu
Ndugu zangu vita tutaishinda
Yeye ni Mungu akijibu ameshajibu
Mungu wetu yuko mbinguni
Anatazama atende kwa haki


Verse 4


Wangejua wewe ni nani
Wote wasingekukimbia
Wangejua wewe ni nani
Wote wasingekuacha
Wamekusukuma uende mbali
Usijali Mungu anatenda kwa haki
Wamekushitaki ili uhukumiwe
Usihofu Baba anajibu kwa haki
Wangejua kesho yako hautailia
Wangejua wangevumilia na wewe
Kawaida ya watu wanachoka
Wangejua wasingekuchoka


Chorus


Haleluya aah
Yeye ni Mungu akisema amesema
Yeye ni Mungu
Yeye ni Baba akipanga amepanga
Yeye ni Baba
Yeye ni vyote akisema amesema
Yeye ni Mungu
Yeye ni Mungu akipanga amepanga
Maana ni Mungu

Meaning & Inspiration

This Swahili-language praise song declares that God keeps His word. The repeated opening, "Yeye ni Mungu akisema amesema", says that when He speaks, it is done, and "akipanga amepanga" says that when He plans, the plan stands. The song also calls Him Father and names Him "vyote", meaning all things.

The verses speak to someone who is being rejected or worn out by others. They say "Usilie" (do not cry) and "Usichoke" (do not tire), and remind the listener that tomorrow is great because God has spoken. The repeated "Wangejua" (if they only knew) suggests that those who turned away would have stayed if they had known what God was planning. A later verse says that battles will be won because God is with His people and watches to act with justice.

The themes line up with Numbers 23:19, which says that God does not fail to do what He says, and with Romans 8:31, which asks who can stand against those with God on their side. These links are offered cautiously, based on the wording of the lyrics.
