Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Edson Mwasabwite explains that “Nimshukuruje” (How Shall I Thank Him) is rooted in the humble inquiry of Psalm 116:12—“What shall I return to the Lord for all His goodness to me?” Birthed from a season of personal reflection on his long ministry and the many "quiet miracles" God has performed in his life, the song serves as a reminder that our best thanks is often found in our total surrender. “I realized that if I had a thousand tongues, they wouldn't be enough,” he shared. “This song is for everyone who looks at their life and realizes that only God could have written their story.”
Now available on all major music streaming platforms, the song has resonated as an "altar-call for the heart." Recorded with a blend of traditional Swahili worship elements and a clean, modern acoustic feel, “Nimshukuruje” reflects a moment of deep, vertical conversation, encouraging listeners to stop and count their blessings one by one.
Edson Mwasabwite continues to be a pillar of the East African gospel scene, known for his ability to translate complex spiritual emotions into simple, powerful melodies. His music flows from a heart of deep humility and a life dedicated to the ministry of the Word. Through this release, he reminds the Church that gratitude is not just a song we sing, but a position we take before the Throne of Grace.
Through “Nimshukuruje,” Edson seeks to ignite a spirit of thanksgiving in every home. The song points every listener back to the truth that even when we cannot find the words to repay His love, our "Hallelujah" is a sacrifice that pleases Him.
The release is accompanied by a heartfelt official audio and performance video, available on YouTube.
