Artist: Tumaini Choir KKKT TaboraSpeaking about the inspiration behind the song, the leadership of Tumaini Choir explains that “Nashukuru Mungu” (I Thank God) is deeply rooted in the verses of Psalm 103:1-2—“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” The song was birthed from a season of reflecting on how God has protected and carried the ministry through both turbulent and joyous times. “We wanted to give everyone a reason to look back and say 'Thank You' to God,” the choir shared.
Now available on all major digital platforms, the song has become a sanctuary of praise for many listeners. Recorded in the unique and powerful style of the ELCT (KKKT) choirs—characterized by authoritative vocals, precise keyboard arrangements, and triumphant brass sections—“Nashukuru Mungu” creates an atmosphere of gratitude that encourages every listener to count their own personal blessings.
