KAMPALA, UGANDA. Watoto Worship + Friends Proclaim God’s Constant Presence & Love In “Not One Time.” In a world full of uncertainties, Watoto Worship + Friends remind listeners of one unchanging truth through their latest track, “Not One Time / Njagala Nkumanye”. This powerful song, written by Kyle Smith, Lauren Smith, Watoto, and Dorothy Mugala, encapsulates the steadfast love and faithfulness of God that never falters, no matter the circumstances.

From the opening verses, the song paints a vivid picture of God’s unwavering nature. The lyrics affirm that His love remains constant, from the highest highs to the lowest lows.

“Every day and every night, Your nature never changes, Only good and only kind, To love me at my lowest”—these lines echo the sentiment of a love that remains unshaken by time or hardship.

His presence is omnipresent, constantly pursuing His people, ensuring that they are never truly lost.

The bridge of the song highlights the communal nature of faith and God’s unchanging character. “The young and old will testify of the faithfulness that won’t run dry,” the lyrics proclaim, emphasizing the timeless nature of God’s love, which transcends generations and circumstances. The repeated lines—*“You are always by my side”—*serve as a reminder that God’s presence is not fleeting. It’s not a passing moment; it’s a constant companion, unshaken and steadfast.

Produced by Bede Benjamin-Korporaal, with the video directed by Dave Rubie, “Not One Time / Njagala Nkumanye” is not just a song, but an invitation to rest in the eternal assurance of God’s faithfulness.
