Lyrics
Hubadiliki wewe ni yule yule
Hulinganishwi jiwe la pembeni
Miaka nenda, miaka rudi
Unatawala mbingu na nchi
Ndio maana mi nasema asante
Hapo mwanzo kulikuwa neno
naye neno alikuwa kwa Mungu,
naye neno alikuwa ni Mungu
Vitu vyote uonavyo sasa Vilifanyika kwa huyo neno
Ndani yake imo uzima na nuru
Nayo nuru yang’aa gizani
Nalo giza haikuiweza
Mwamba wetu, kimbilio ni wewe mkuu x2
Chorus
Hubadiliki wewe ni yule yule
Hulinganishwi jiwe la pembeni
Miaka nenda, miaka rudi
Unatawala mbingu nan chi
Ndio maana mi nasema asante
Baba wewe ni mwema nikiwa nawe
nitaogopa nani Matendo yako Bwana yashangaza sana, nani kama wewe Miaka nenda, miaka rudi
Unatawala mbingu na nchi
Ndio maana mi nasema asante

Meaning & Inspiration
“Hubadiliki” praises God as eternally constant, incomparable, and sovereign over heaven and earth. The recurring chorus answers these truths with thanksgiving, while images of the cornerstone, rock, refuge, light, and divine rule give the song a firm biblical vocabulary. The singer looks across passing years and finds that God remains the same. That constancy becomes the basis for courage, gratitude, and confidence in God’s goodness.
A substantial passage closely follows John 1:1-5, confessing that the Word was with God, was God, brought all things into being, and carries life and light that darkness cannot overcome. The title’s declaration also aligns with Hebrews 13:8, which affirms the enduring sameness of Jesus Christ. Language about God as light and refuge recalls Psalm 27:1 and supports the lyric’s question about whom the singer should fear. These scriptural echoes connect creation, divine faithfulness, protection, and Christ’s unchanging reign in one sustained song of praise.
