Alice Kimanzi's song 'Asifiwe Leo' is a Swahili praise song that exalts God for His holiness, generosity, healing, and strength. The lyrics describe God as a healer, protector, and close friend who deserves praise at all times. The chorus repeats 'Asifiwe' (Praise Him) as a call to worship. The bridge celebrates God's incomparable power, with imagery of hills skipping and heavens declaring His works. It invites joyful celebration with instruments, dancing, and ululations.

Bridge


Milima yaruka kama ndama

[The hills skip like calfs]

Kwa uwepo wako

[At your presence]

Anga zaitangaza 

[The heavens declare]

Kazi ya mikono yako

[The work of your hands]

Haulinganishwi

[You?re incomparable]

Haufananishwi

[Like no other]

Wewe wa pekee 

[You are in a class by yourself]


Kwa zeze na Vinubi

[With the lyre and harp]

Kwa shangwe na nderemo

[With shouts and celebration]

Kwa vigelegele vigelegele vigelegele

[Ululations ululations ululations]

Kwa Kuimba Na kucheza

[With singing and dancing]

Tumshangilie Yesu

[Let?s celebrate Jesus]

Wapi vigelegele vigelegele vigelegele

[Where are the ululations ululations ululations]
