Mercy Masika - Bless Me Lyrics
Lyrics
Blessed call my name
And I'm blessed going out
Nobody can curse what God has blessed
And He alone can truly bless
Mikono yangu imebarikiwa
Ninachofanya kinafaulu
Sababu mkono wako juu yangu
Siku zangu zote
Everything I do, bless me
Everthing I touch my blessing
Whom Baba bless
Tell me nani anaweza curse ooh
Everything I do am bless me
Aii for the area blessing
Counting my blessing 1, 2, 3
Lalala la-la

Me I never see Johovah sleep ooo
Only -- and mercy
They follow me and go
(They go, they go, they go)

Bless Me (feat. Ada Ehi)
Meaning & Inspiration
Mercy Masika and Ada Ehi's powerful collaboration, "Bless Me," released on May 19, 2020, stands as a vibrant declaration of divine favor, deeply rooted in a profound understanding of God's unyielding nature and abundant provision. The song’s essence captures an unwavering confidence in God’s sovereignty, affirming that His blessings are not only personal but also protective, actively safeguarding individuals against any opposing force. It begins by establishing this foundational truth: "Blessed call my name and I'm blessed going out / Nobody can curse what God has blessed / And He alone can truly bless," echoing the biblical promise in Numbers 23:20 where Balaam affirms, "I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it." This opening sets the stage for a message of secure faith, reminding us, as Romans 8:31 profoundly states, "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
The song progresses to articulate how this divine blessing manifests in everyday life, touching every aspect of one’s endeavors. The lines "Mikono yangu imebarikiwa / Ninachofanya kinafaulu / Sababu mkono wako juu yangu / Siku zangu zote" translate to "My hands are blessed / What I do succeeds / Because your hand is upon me / All my days." This speaks directly to the experience of divine enablement, where every effort is supernaturally empowered, aligning with Deuteronomy 28:8, which promises that the Lord "will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to." The affirmation "Everything I do, bless me / Everything I touch my blessing" is not a claim of personal merit, but a testament to God's active involvement, a continuous anointing that ensures fruitfulness and success in all godly pursuits, much like Psalm 90:17 prays, "May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands."
A significant core of the song lies in its emphasis on God's unchanging nature and relentless care. Phrases like "Me I never see Jehovah change Noo / Me I never see Jehovah sleep ooo" powerfully convey God's eternal faithfulness and ever-watchful presence. This is a comforting truth drawn directly from Scripture, as Malachi 3:6 declares, "I the Lord do not change," and Psalm 121:3-4 assures, "He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep." This constant presence translates into tangible support, highlighted by the powerful declaration from Psalm 23:6, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life," which the song beautifully references when it says, "Only -- and mercy / They follow me and go." This reiterates that divine benevolence is not a fleeting encounter but an enduring companionship.
Furthermore, "Bless Me" offers a deeply personal confession of God’s intimate concern, with Masika singing, "Najua Bwana anisumbukia / Najua Bwana anishughulikia / Najua Yesu ananipenda," which means, "I know the Lord troubles Himself for me (cares for me) / I know the Lord takes care of me / I know Jesus loves me." This encapsulates the profound security found in knowing that God not only watches over but actively intervenes and cares for our every need, aligning with 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." The ingenious line, "I'm so blessed to be stressed," offers a fresh perspective on challenges, suggesting that when one is overwhelmingly aware of God's blessings, even the pressures of life become minor in comparison, viewed through the lens of gratitude and faith that transcends worry. It's a testament to the peace that surpasses understanding, as described in Philippians 4:6-7.
The recurrent theme of "Counting my blessing 1, 2, 3" serves as a powerful call to gratitude and intentional recognition of God’s goodness. It encourages a deliberate act of recalling and acknowledging every benefit received, a practice rooted in biblical injunctions like Psalm 103:2, "Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits." The song culminates in a heartfelt expression of thanks, "Asante sana kwa baraka zako," translating to "Thank you very much for your blessings," which encapsulates the entire spirit of the song. It’s an ultimate bow of gratitude to the one true source of all good and perfect gifts, as articulated in James 1:17, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." "Bless Me" is not merely a song but a vibrant testament of faith, inspiring anyone who hears it to embrace the unshakable reality of God's blessing, provision, and unending love.
