Hakuna hakuna nasema (Hakuna kama wewe))
Mbinguni na duniani tuimbe (Hakuna kama wewe))
Aliye filia dhambi zangu nasema (Hakuna kama wewe))

Meaning & Inspiration
“Wewe Ndiwe Baba Yangu” (Bwana Yesu) by Eunice Njeri is a Swahili worship song that calls on the Lord as Father. The opening names Bwana Yesu as the singer’s refuge and hope in Yahweh, saying there is no ability of the singer’s own and no other Father but Him. The refrain, “Wewe ndiwe Baba yangu, msaada wangu wa karibu,” means You are my Father, my ever-present help, which is close to Psalm 46:1.
The next verses thank Jesus for dying for the singer and washing away every sin, and they say that no one in all the world is found like Him. The singer promises to lift Him up and sing forever for what He has done, which recalls Psalm 146:2.
The long ending is a call and response in which a leader sings “hakuna,” there is none, and the response is “Hakuna kama wewe,” there is none like You. It names Him as the healer, “Jehova rafa,” close to Exodus 15:26. The message is trust in a Father and Savior without equal.
