Je ni nani angeweza
Kutuinua kutuweka juu
Maana kila mtu alitukata
Ila Mungu akatukumbatia

Maana kila mtu alitukata
Ila Mungu akatukumbatia
Verse 3
Je ni nani angeweza
Kutupati nafasi
Maana kila mtu alitukata
Ila Mungu akatupatia

Hakuangalia elimu zetu
Hakuangalia mionekano yetu
Aliangalia mioyo yetu
Kwake tukapata kibali
Chorus
Amefanya Mungu, amefanya
Amefanya Mungu, amefanya
Haikuwa rahisi kwa akili zetu
Amefanya Mungu, amefanya

Je ni nani angeweza
Kutukubali jinsi tulivyo
Maana kila mtu alitukata
Ila Mungu akatukubali
Bridge
Si elimu zetu
Si ujuzi wetu
Ila neema yake imetuweka hapa
Haikuwa rahisi
Chorus
Vile namna neema yako inafanya
Hakuna elimu inaweza fanya
Hata kama ikishindana
Hata kama ikipambana
Neema yako itashinda
Bridge
Hakuangalia elimu zetu
Hakuangalia mionekano yetu
Aliangalia mioyo yetu
Kwake tukapata kibali

Amefanya Mungu, amefanya
Amefanya Mungu, amefanya
Haikuwa rahisi kwa akili zetu
Amefanya Mungu, amefanya

Ni yeye tu
Si mwanadamu
Si mwanadamu
Kwa akili zetu
Amefanya Mungu, amefanya
Haikuwa rahisi
Kwa akili zetu
Amefanya Mungu, amefanya

Meaning & Inspiration
Paul Clement's "Amefanya Mungu" repeats a single question through its early verses - who else could have lifted us when everyone else had cut us off - before answering it the same way each time: God embraced. That call-and-answer pattern carries the song rather than a developing narrative, with each verse adding a different specific mercy to the same refrain.
The bridge shifts from action to reason, insisting that God looked past qualifications and appearance to the heart instead, language close to 1 Samuel 16:7, where God tells Samuel he looks at the heart rather than outward appearance. A later bridge makes the same point about grace directly: it was not human knowledge or skill that brought the singer here, but grace alone, echoing Ephesians 2:8-9's insistence that salvation comes by grace and not by works. The closing outro strips even that language down further, repeating only that it was God, not man, restating the song's whole argument in its simplest form.
