Lyrics
Nimemuona Bwana (Nimemuona Bwana)
Nimemuona Bwana (Nimemuona Bwana)
Nimemuona akinitendea (Nimemuona Bwana)
Nimemuona akinilinda (Nimemuona Bwana)
Nimemuona akiniponya (Nimemuona Bwana)
Akinifuta machozi (Nimemuona Bwana)
Akiondoa aibu yangu (Nimemuona Bwana)
Akinivika heshima (Nimemuona Bwana)
Nilikuwa na shida, nilikuwa na mateso
Moyo wangu uliumia, moyo wangu ulichoka
Bwana Yesu akaja akanishika mkono
Neema yake nimepata leo nimejaa amani
Nimemuona Baba nimemuona Bwana
Nimemuona Yesu yeye yeyee
Mama usikate tamaa, baba usikate tamaa
Kwa yale unayapitia wala usifadhaike
Yuko Mungu akuona Yuko Mungu akutazama
Utamuona yeyee utamuona leo
Utamuona Bwana (Utamuona Bwana)
Utamuona Bwana (Utamuona Bwana)
Utamuona akikutendea (Utamuona Bwana)
Utamuona akikulinda (Utamuona Bwana)
Utamuona akikuponya (Utamuona Bwana)
Akikufuta machozi (Utamuona Bwana)
Akiondoa aibu yako (Utamuona Bwana)
Akikuvika heshima (Utamuona Bwana)
Leo ni siku yako ya kukutana na Baba
Macho ya MUngu yawe nawe
Fungua moyo umuone
Nyosha mikono umtazame
Piga magoti umlilie ...

Meaning & Inspiration
“Nimemuona Bwana” is a testimony of God’s care in the middle of pain, weariness, and shame. The singer recalls being held by Jesus, receiving grace, and finding peace after distress. Its repeated images of protection, healing, restored honor, and tears being wiped away give the song the character of public praise rather than a private reflection. The central refrain celebrates evidence of God’s help in a life that had become burdened.
The later lines turn from testimony toward encouragement for struggling parents and others facing hardship. They urge perseverance and prayer while affirming that God sees human need. This theme closely reflects biblical passages in which the Lord hears the afflicted and remains near to the brokenhearted. The invitation to open the heart, stretch out the hands, kneel, and cry to God also places dependence on divine mercy at the center. The song therefore joins gratitude for past help with hope that God will continue to guard, heal, comfort, and restore.
