Lyrics
Verse 1
Ukihesabu utachoka, kuna ya juzi, jana na leo
Ya kesho Mungu kafanya
Huku kwetu hakuna hofu, mashaka, wasiwasi
Twajiamini tuko na Mungu
Verse 2
Mimi si yule wa zamani wa kulialia
Mungu kanitoa huko namfurahia
Sasa nimehama kitengo cha kulialia
Nimehamia level zingine za kufurahia
Verse 3
Aliumba mchana, usiku
Lipi ngumu la kumshinda Mungu
Huyu Mungu hufanya zaidi ya mtu na mahitaji
Chorus
Ametenda mengi kwangu
(Hebu subiri na wewe, Mungu atafanya kitu)
Usichoke ndugu yangu
(Subiri subiri na wewe, Huyu Yesu atafanya kitu)
Subiri, subiri
Eeh subiri
Verse 4
Huku kwa Yesu tupata shida mateso
Na Yesu anatatua
Twashukuru na kuimba sifa zake
Ni Yeye astahili kuinuliwa
Verse 5
Mungu katufanya tuimbe na kumtukuza
Tuvae tung'ae tuishi na kufurahia
Siwezi hesabu mangapi kanisimamia
Mipaka nivuke na jina nikamtukuze
Verse 6
Kwa tiketi ya jina la Yesu
Hakuna jambo gumu kutushinda
Sifa zake zipande, asante
Bwana umetuinua
Chorus (Repeat)

Meaning & Inspiration
"Atafanya Kitu" ("He Will Do Something") moves from present testimony to future confidence, declaring that the God active yesterday and today will also act tomorrow. Its opening verse dismisses fear and anxiety, describing a settled trust that comes from relying on God's unchanging activity across time.
Later verses recall a personal transformation, describing a shift away from constant weeping toward sustained joy, crediting that change entirely to God's intervention. Repeated parenthetical lines urging patience, "wait, wait, and He will do something," give the song a responsive structure, as though answering discouragement directly each time it is named.
The song closes by tying present suffering to future resolution, describing Christ as the one who addresses hardship and deserves exaltation as a result. Built around a repeated Swahili refrain suited to congregational response, the song functions as an exhortation to patient trust, encouraging perseverance through testimony of what God has already done rather than through abstract assurance alone.
