Pst. Emmanuel Ushindi - Uheshimiwe Baba - Nikupe Mungu Nini Lyrics

Lyrics

Nikupe Mungu nini?
Nifanye kazi gani?
Wala niseme Neno gani
Nipate Kimbali Mbele Yako
Unitaje Kati Ya Wale Watatu
Unao Jivunia, Washikao Mbedera Yako
Ili Wakuheshimishe,
Juu Mimi Nimegundua Siri,
Yesu Uko Mali Yangu,
Uko Nguvu Zangu, Na Heshima Yangu
Shuhuda Yako Ni Urithi Wangu
Tena Changamko Ya Moyo Wangu
Ulimwengu muniruhusu Eeeh
Uhechimiwe Baba

Uheshimiwe Baba, Uheshimiwe Baba
Uheshimiwe Eeh, uheshimiwe Baba

Heshima yako Baba inayo wivu sana
Kama vile mwanaume aweka wivu ju ya mke wake
Ilimshtua Samweli kuona Isreali inaomba mfalme
Ijapo wana Mungu wa Kweli, Samweli akaogopa
Alimtuma Nebukadineza, anasukumwa ndani ya mwitu
Akale majani kama mnyama, sababu alikusahau
Mfalme moja akalewa, kamata vyombo vya hekalu vitakatidu
Akavinyeshweya makahaba, kumbe Mungu una wivu
Message ikatoka mbinguni, ikaandika
"mene mene tekel upharsin", Ufalme wako umepimwa
Ona unapewa wengine
Hasira zako zilitumia Herodi, alipokamata Petro
akataka mchinga akamuue, akatumia tena kukamata pepo
Hapo malaika akatoka mbinguni...
Herodi alipoamka, akakute Petro amekwenda
Asikari wakashindwa, akasema muandae mkutano
Aliposema maneno kama mfalme, watu wakapiga mkono
Wakasema Herode si wewe, lakini sauti yako ni kama Munguu
Mungu mbinguni akasirika, Herodi tumbo zikatoboka akafa hivo...
Uabudiwe Baba, uabudiwe Baba
Uabudiwe Baba eeh

Uheshimiwe Baba, Uheshimiwe Baba
Uheshimiwe Eeh, uheshimiwe Baba

Najijua kama kabinti, mwanaume hawezi kuniponyoka
Mabembelenzi ya delila ilimsukuma Samsoni kutoa siri
Na mimi sitatoka bila Yesu siendi fasi kama siko nawe
Hata nikilala kitandani nisipokuona Yesu mpaka nitaamuka
Nitawaambia walinzi wa mji, nitafutieni Yesu mpaka nimshike
Ahadi zako zanichumbia, maneno yako lasukuma nikupende
Uko mtamu kwangu unaninogea sana, niende wapi bila wewe?
Ona mi nalewa sasa, nalewa furaha yako Baba
Eeeh haleluya ooh haleluya

Unanilewesha Bwana, unanilewesha sana
Unanilewesha eeh, Unanilewesha Bwana

Uheshimiwe Baba.. By EV Emmanuel Ushindi

Meaning & Inspiration

Pst. Emmanuel Ushindi's powerful anthem, "Uheshimiwe Baba - Nikupe Mungu Nini," released on December 30, 2020, immediately draws the worshipper into a profound contemplation of divine reverence. At its core, the song is a fervent declaration of God's unparalleled worthiness, a testament to His holy jealousy, and an intimate outpouring of personal devotion. It opens with a series of introspective questions, a soul wrestling with the immensity of God's grace: "What can I give You, God? What work can I do? Or what word can I say to find favor before You, that You would name me among the three You are proud of, who carry Your banner, so that they may honor You?" This isn't a plea born of insecurity, but a passionate yearning for true significance in God's eyes, a longing to be counted among His most devoted, akin to the mighty men of old who stood unwavering for Him. This desire quickly shifts into a triumphant affirmation, recognizing Jesus as one's ultimate wealth, strength, and honor, whose testimony is a cherished inheritance and the very joy of the heart, echoing sentiments found in Psalm 73:26, where God is declared the strength of our hearts and our portion forever. The central refrain, "Uheshimiwe Baba" (Be honored, Father), then becomes not just a request, but a resolute command to the soul and the world.

The song then delves into a captivating and often overlooked aspect of God's character: His profound, protective jealousy for His own honor. The declaration, "Your honor, Father, has much jealousy, just as a man has jealousy for his wife," strikes a chord, aligning with passages like Exodus 34:14, which states, "for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." This isn't a human flaw, but a divine attribute safeguarding His unique holiness and sovereignty. Pst. Ushindi masterfully illustrates this through vivid Biblical narratives. He recounts the dismay of Samuel when Israel rejected God by demanding a human king, a subtle yet significant affront to God's reign (1 Samuel 8). The chilling tale of Nebuchadnezzar, driven to eat grass like an animal for his pride and forgetting the Most High (Daniel 4), serves as a stark reminder of God's absolute power and His demand for humility. Belshazzar's sacrilegious feast, where holy temple vessels were desecrated, brought forth a swift divine judgment with the ominous "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin," demonstrating God's fierce protection of what is sacred to Him (Daniel 5). Finally, Herod's gruesome end, consumed by worms for accepting divine praise meant only for God (Acts 12), stands as a powerful warning against usurping God's glory. Each story underscores the unyielding truth: God will not share His glory with another, and His "jealousy" is a righteous fire that ensures His ultimate honor.

Transitioning from these powerful historical accounts, the song then anchors itself in an intensely personal commitment and an almost intoxicating delight in God's presence. The imagery of a young woman confidently asserting that "a man cannot escape me" is not born of human arrogance, but a passionate, unwavering pursuit of divine intimacy, reminiscent of the seeker in the Song of Solomon. This is further emphasized by the vow: "I will not leave without Jesus, I will not go anywhere if I am not with You." It's a defiant stand against distractions and a solemn promise of steadfast allegiance, a direct contrast to Delilah's betrayal of Samson. The singer's determination to search for Jesus until He is found, even if it means rousing the city guards, portrays a relentless hunger for God's presence, echoing Psalm 42:1-2. The "promises that woo" and "words that compel to love" reflect the sweet allure of Scripture and God's covenantal faithfulness, making Him "sweet and delightful," a sentiment found in Psalm 119. The song culminates in an exhilarating declaration of being "drunk on Your joy, Father," a spiritual exhilaration that transcends worldly intoxication, symbolizing the overflowing joy and renewed spirit found in the Holy Spirit, as described in Ephesians 5:18-20. This profound connection is not merely emotional but a deep, spiritual saturation that leaves the soul completely surrendered and gloriously content in God's presence.
