Mercy Masika - Umeniweza Lyrics
Lyrics
Hadithi ya maisha yangu
Imechorwa na Elshaddai
Kabla dunia haijaumbwa, iliandikwa
Bei imelipwa, njia imetengenezwa
Hakuna tena vizuizi, tunasonga
Usiku na mchana ibada yangu haitagoma
Nimeitwa na jina Mshindi asiyeshindwa
Kila changamoto huwa baraka
Kila chozi huhesabika
Ninapojua Yesu ni wangu
Umeniweza umeniweza
Nimeona uzuri wako
Umeniweza umeniweza
Nimeona uzuri wako
Uzima wa milele
Upendo wa milele
Siwezi epuka
Uzima wa milele
Upendo wa milele
Siwezi epuka
Umeniweza umeniweza
Nimeona uzuri wako
Umeniweza umeniweza
Nimeona uzuri wako
Neno lako limethibitisha maishani mwangu
kwa sababu hii namwamini kabisa
Naamini wewe upo unafanya kazi...

Meaning & Inspiration
Mercy Masika continues to bless us with her distinctive voice and profound scriptural messages, and her latest offering, "Umeniweza," arriving on July 13th, 2025, is poised to be another powerful declaration of faith. The title itself, "Umeniweza," translates beautifully from Swahili to mean "You have enabled me" or "You have made me capable/victorious," immediately setting the tone for a song centered on divine empowerment. This isn't just a catchy phrase; it speaks to the very heart of the Christian walk, acknowledging that any strength, ability, or triumph we experience is not inherent in ourselves but flows directly from God's work in and through us. The song's essence lies in this profound truth: that in our moments of weakness, our struggles, our battles, it is God who steps in, providing the grace and power needed to overcome, to persevere, and ultimately, to succeed according to His will.
The musical tapestry of "Umeniweza" weaves together uplifting melodies and a rhythm that encourages not just listening, but active engagement with the message. It’s crafted to resonate deep within, moving the spirit as much as the feet. This track isn't merely a recounting of personal victories; it's a testament to the active, enabling presence of God in every season of life. It calls to mind the Apostle Paul’s powerful declaration in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This verse perfectly encapsulates the spirit of "Umeniweza," reminding us that our capabilities are boundless not because of who *we* are, but because of the all-sufficient power of Christ working within us. It challenges the notion of self-reliance and redirects our focus to the true source of our strength and ability.
Furthermore, the song’s message aligns deeply with the truth found in 2 Corinthians 12:9, where the Lord tells Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." "Umeniweza" captures this paradox of Christian strength – that it is often in our most vulnerable moments, when we are acutely aware of our limitations, that God's enabling power is most clearly demonstrated. It's a comforting yet challenging truth: that the difficulties we face are not roadblocks to God's work, but often the very arenas where He proves His faithfulness and ability through us. By asserting "Umeniweza," the song affirms that God has not only helped in the past but is continuously enabling, equipping, and providing the means to navigate life's journey. It echoes Isaiah 41:10, assuring us that God is with us, strengthening, helping, and upholding us with His righteous right hand, making us capable even when we feel utterly inadequate. This song serves as a vital musical reminder that no matter the circumstance, we are not left to our own devices; the God who called us is the one who enables us to fulfill His purposes and stand firm through every trial.
