Kenyan gospel music has been on the rise in recent years, with talented artists such as Mercy Masika leading the way. One of her most popular songs is “Wakuaminika,” which translates to “Faithful” in English. This song has touched the hearts of many, and it is not hard to see why.
The song begins with a soft and gentle melody, with Mercy Masika’s voice setting the tone for the message of the song. The lyrics talk about the faithfulness of God and how we can trust Him to always be there for us, even in the darkest of times. Masika’s lyrics draw from the Bible and the Psalms in particular, referencing verses such as Psalm 121:3, which says, “He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber.”
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with Masika repeating the phrase “Wakuaminika” over and over again. This phrase means “faithful” in Swahili, and it is a powerful reminder that God is always faithful to His promises. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song reinforces the message of the song and helps to drive it home for the listener.
