Utukuzwe (Be Praised) Lyrics by Rose Muhando

(Sung in Swahili)

Ee Mungu utukuzwe, milele na milele
(Oh God be praised forevermore)

Tena uinuliwe, katika mataifa yote
(And be lifted up in all nations)

Ee Mungu utukuzwe, milele na milele
(Oh God be praised forevermore)

Ee Mungu uinuliwe, milele na milele
(Oh God be lifted forevermore)

Tena uhimidiwe katika mataifa yote
(And be worshiped in all nations)

Jina lako la ajabu, Wewe utishaye kuliko (Your awesome name; terrifies than a lion) x2

Wala haufanananishwi na chochote
(You cannot be compared with anything else)

Jina lako Baba la ajabu
(Lord, your name is awesome)

Refrain:
Wewe uliupiga mwamba
(maji yakabubujika)
(You hit a rock, and water sprang forth)

Katikakati ya jangwa
(wewe ulifanya njia)
(In the desert, you opened a way)

Walipokumbana na adui
(Wewe uliwapigania)
(When confronted, you fought for them)

Wakafika (Kule Kanaani salama)
(You led them safely to Canaan) (Repeat)

Usifiwe, utukuzwe
(Be praised, be magnified) (x2)

Utukufu ni wako, milele na milele
(All glory belongs to you forevermore)(Repeat)

Haya visiwa na viimbe
(Let the seas sing)

Mito na ipige makofi
(The rivers to clap in praise)

Ndege na waseme amina kubwa
(The birds to say a big amen)

Wanyama wa mwitu wasifu
(The wild animals to praise) (Repeat)

Bwana anatawala/Maana unatawala, wewe Bwana
(The Lord reigns, you Lord)

Heshima na enzi ni vya Bwana
(Honor and dominion are the Lord’s)

Utukufu na nguvu ni vya Bwana
(Glory and Might are the Lord’s)

Umeketi mkono wenye nguvu
(You who sit on the mighty hand) (Repeat)

(Refrain)
Heshima ni yako (milele na milele)
(All honor is yours, forevermore)

Utukufu ni wako (milele na milele)
(All glory is yours, forevermore)

Heshima ni yako (milele na milele)
(All honor is yours, forevermore)

Mamlaka ina wewe (milele na milele) (Dominion is yours, forevermore)

Malaika waimbe (milele na milele)
(Let the angels sing, forevermore)

Wazee ishirini na nne waseme (milele na milele)
(And the 24 elders say, forevermore)

Na wale wenye uhai waimbe (milele na milele)
(Let all the living sing, forevermore)

Na watakatifu waseme (milele na milele) (And all the Holy to say, forevermore)

(Refrain)
