Lyrics
Chorus (Repeat)
Yesu ni muweza, Yesu ni muweza, Yesu ni muweza, aaaah aweza yote
Yesu ni muweza, Yesu ni muweza, Yesu ni muweza, aaah aweza yote
Verse 1
Siku moja Bwana Yesu kwa uweza njiani alikemea mti ukanyauka
Watu wote walioliona tendo hili la ajabu wakashangaa
Vilevile alikemea dhoruba bahari ikatulia
Pia aliwaponya wagonjwa na kuwafufua wafu, watu wakashangaa
Ndivyo itakavyokuwa leo hii, Bwana Yesu akianza kushughulika
Kuondoa matatizo mbalimbali uliyonayo, utafurahi na kushangilia
Chorus (Repeat)
Verse 2
Hata kama daktari alishakukatisha tamaa, hutapona
Bwana Yesu anaweza kukuponya leo ukafurahi na kushangilia
Kama ni matatizo ya ndoa au kiuchumi, Yesu ni muweza
Kama ni masomo darasani au biashara, Bwana Yesu anainua
Chorus (Repeat)
Verse 3 (The Story of Zacchaeus)
Biblia inaeleza habari ya Zakayo, aliyepanda mkuyuni
Kwa kuwa Bwana Yesu ni muweza, akatambua mawazo yake
Kwa upendo akamwita kwa jina, "Zakayo shuka", akashuka
Siku iyo akawa wa neema kwa Bwana Yesu, akapata wokovu
Basi leo anakuita kwa jina, shuka upesi
Akuchongechonge, akufanye apendavyo yeye
Chorus (Repeat)
Bridge
Oh Yesu
Chorus (Repeat)
Outro
Jesus is able, Jesus is able, Jesus is able, He is able of all things

Meaning & Inspiration
"Yesu Ni Muweza" ("Jesus Is Able") repeats its title declaration throughout, establishing Jesus's ability before narrating specific evidence for that claim. Its verses recount particular biblical events, a fig tree withering at a spoken word, a storm calmed, the sick healed, and the dead raised, treating these remembered miracles as proof rather than abstract praise.
A later verse retells the story of Zacchaeus, a man who climbed a tree to see Jesus and was called down by name, describing that specific encounter as leading to salvation. Applying that same pattern to the present, the song declares that Jesus still calls people by name today, extending a biblical narrative into a personal, current invitation.
Sung in Swahili within East African gospel tradition, the song functions as testimony built from Scripture, using narrated miracle accounts to ground its repeated declaration that Jesus remains able to resolve marriage, financial, academic, or business troubles just as he acted in those biblical stories.
