Ni wewe tu Mungu wa Miungu
Wakusifiwa wakuabudiwa

Ni wewe tu (Mungu wa miungu)
Ni wewe tu (Mungu wa miungu)
Sema ni wewe tu Bwana

Meaning & Inspiration
“Wakusifiwa” is a direct Swahili song of praise and worship. Its central line declares that God alone is worthy to be praised and worshiped, while the title “Mungu wa miungu” names him as God above every other claimed power. The lyric does not develop a narrative or list personal requests. Instead, repetition keeps attention on God’s unique worth, making the song suitable for a gathered response in which the same confession can be sustained and shared.
Psalm 96:4–5 closely supports this language by declaring the Lord worthy of great praise and distinguishing him from all other gods. Exodus 15:11 likewise asks who among the gods is like the Lord, majestic in holiness and awesome in glory. These biblical parallels reinforce the lyric’s exclusive focus without adding claims beyond its words. The song’s simple structure serves its subject: God is not praised for one isolated benefit but honored for who he is. Adoration, praise, and the confession of divine supremacy remain joined throughout.
