Lyrics

Umevikwa Utukufu
Na heshima ni zako
Enzi yako, na mamlaka
Zinadumu milele


Nitakiri, kwa kinywa changu
Kwamba wewe ni Mungu mkuu
Viumbe vyote, Vikushukuru
Vikisema wewe ni Mkuu


Hakika, wewe ni Mungu
Umetenda, maajabu 
Umejaa, hekima na rehema
Hakika wewe ni mkuu


Khalvari, kasulubiwa, ili mimi niishi
Dhambi zangu, kazisafisha
Sasa mimi ni huru
Kwako wewe, nitasimama


Mwamba imara asiyeshindwa 
Mwili wangu, na nafsi yangu
Maisha yangu, natoa kwako

Meaning & Inspiration

This Swahili praise song exalts God through the language of glory, honor, authority, wisdom, and mercy. Its opening declares that divine rule endures forever, then broadens the praise by calling every creature to give thanks. The confession “wewe ni Mungu mkuu” keeps God’s greatness at the center while the verses connect that greatness with marvelous works and compassionate character.

The lyric also turns to Calvary, presenting Christ’s crucifixion as the basis for life, cleansing from sin, and freedom. That saving work leads to a response of steadfast trust and total surrender: body, soul, and life are offered to God, the unshaken rock. Revelation 5:13 closely parallels the call for all creatures to give honor and glory, while Colossians 1:20 speaks of peace made through Christ’s blood on the cross. Together, these themes join majestic praise with gratitude for redemption and a personal commitment to stand faithfully before God.
