Solomon Lange - You Have Done Me Well Lyrics

“You Have Done Me Well” by Solomon Lange is a short thanksgiving chant built on one line, sung first in English and then in Swahili as “Umenitenda mema.” The line repeats several times, ending with the name of Jesus, so the worshipper names the Giver of the good things.

The idea is close to Psalm 13:6, where the psalmist sings to the Lord because He has dealt bountifully, and to Psalm 116:7, which tells the soul to return to rest because the Lord has been good. The reminder not to forget His benefits in Psalm 103:2 also fits the spirit of the song.

Because the words are few, the recording leaves room for the live crowd to join in and for the leader to extend the praise with spoken thanks. The use of two languages gives it a shared, East and West African flavor, and the lyric has no story or argument. Its message is simple gratitude: Jesus has been good to His people.
