Martin Murunga's 'Uweponi Mwako' is a Swahili worship song expressing a deep desire to be in God's presence. The lyrics repeatedly ask to be near Jesus, under His wings, and close to Yahweh. The singer approaches God to worship and exalt Him, longing for intimacy with the divine. The song references seraphim and cherubim before God, and the church declaring its wish to dwell in His presence. It is a heartfelt prayer of surrender and adoration, focusing on the believer's yearning to abide with God.

Uweponi mwako, uweponi mwako
Nataka niwe uweponi mwako
Chini ya miguu yako karibu nawe Yesu
Nataka mimi niwe uweponi mwako
Nifiche kwa mabawa yako karibu nawe Yahweh
Nataka niwe uweponi mwako, Bwana
Uweponi mwako, uweponi mwako
Nataka niwe uweponi mwako
Maserafi Makerubi wako mbele zako Bwana
Uweponi mwako Yesu ndipo twataka tuwe
Kanisa lako Yahweh siku ya leo tunasema
Uweponi mwako ndipo nataka niwe
Uweponi mwako, uweponi mwako
Nataka niwe uweponi mwako
Naja mbele zako ewe Bwana ili nikuabudu
Ili nikuinue, Nasonga mbele yako
Wewe uliye juu, nataka niwe karibu nawee
Uweponi mwako, uweponi mwako
Nataka niwe uweponi mwako
