Hapo mwanzo kulikwa na neno
naye neno alikuwa kwa mungu
na tena neno huyu alikuwa mungu
naye neno alifanyika mwili akaja
akakaa kwetu tukauona utukufu
wake mwana kondoo yohana
alimwona amevikwa vazi lilichovya
katika damu na jina lake lilikua mwana wa mungu
Hapo Mwanzo
Christina Shusho's song 'Hapo Mwanzo' is a Swahili worship song that reflects on the opening verses of the Gospel of John, describing the Word who was with God and became flesh. The lyrics celebrate the incarnation of Jesus Christ, His dwelling among humanity, and His glory as the Lamb of God. The song draws directly from John 1:1-14 and Revelation 19:13, emphasizing Jesus' divine nature and sacrificial role. It is a reverent, scripture-based declaration of Christ's identity and redemptive work.
