Lyrics

Uliniumba Baba ukanipenda
Ukaiosha dhambi nilizotenda
kaniongoza kote ninakoenda 
kweli baba wewe mwaminifu
Wewe ni mwaminifu 
Wakati adui waliniandama 
Kifo kaniacha mimi yatima eeh
Uliniinua mimi nikasimama
Kweli Baba wewe ni mwaminifu 
 
Upendo wako Baba
Hauna kipimo
Uzuri wako Baba hauna kikomo
 
Uinuliwe Baba uabudiwe 
Usujudiwe Baba uabudiwe

Meaning & Inspiration

Mwaminifu is a direct Swahili confession of God as a faithful Father. The singer remembers being created, loved, cleansed from sin, and guided along each path. Those statements form a testimony of dependence: divine faithfulness is seen not as an abstract quality but through forgiveness, direction, and sustaining care. Even when enemies pressed close and death left the singer orphaned, God is described as the one who raised her up and enabled her to stand again.

The closing lines turn remembrance into worship. God’s love is said to have no measure, and his goodness no limit, language that magnifies qualities beyond human calculation. The repeated requests that the Father be exalted, worshiped, and bowed before give the song a clear devotional focus. Its movement from hardship to standing, and from personal testimony to adoration, presents praise as a response to experienced mercy. The title word, Mwaminifu, gathers every detail into one declaration: God remains faithful through sin, opposition, grief, guidance, and restoration.
