Israel Mbonyi - Baho Lyrics
Lyrics
Kure niyo njugunye
Ibyo byose byakurega
Kuko nd’uwiteka imana
Usinzire ndagufubitse
Kandi nitwa ndiho
Mbasha kugutungisha
Ijambo ryo mukanwa kanjye
Kandi uzisegura, aya magambo
Ndetse ukuboko kwanye
Kuzaremerere imigambi y’ababi
Kuko nitwa ndiho
Mbasha kugutungisha
Inkoni y’urukundo ngukunda
Genda ubeho
Ndabivuze genda ubeho (Baho baho)
Yewe genda ubeho (Baho baho)

Israel Mbonyi - Baho
Meaning & Inspiration
Israel Mbonyi's powerful track "Baho," released on the album *Mbwira* in early 2022, is more than just a song; it's a profound declaration of divine protection and unwavering love rooted deeply in Scripture. The title itself, "Baho," which translates to "Live" or "Be Alive," sets the stage for a message of hope and endurance in the face of life's challenges. The song's narrative unfolds as a confident assertion of God's power to shield and sustain His people, emphasizing that He is a living God, able to intervene and uphold His promises.
The lyrical content draws directly from the divine pronouncements found in the Old Testament, where God declares His identity and authority. Phrases like "Kuko nd'uwiteka imana" (For I am the Lord your God) echo the foundational declarations of God's sovereignty and power, as seen in passages like Isaiah 41:10: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Mbonyi powerfully conveys this assurance, suggesting that God's word is not merely spoken but is a tangible force that will thwart the plans of adversaries. The imagery of God's hand preventing the schemes of the wicked directly relates to the protective interventions described throughout biblical history, such as God's mighty arm leading Israel out of Egypt.
A central theme of "Baho" is the profound and eternal love of God, symbolized by the "blood of the beloved." This is an unmistakable reference to the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the ultimate demonstration of God's love for humanity, as articulated in John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." The recurring affirmation, "Uri uwanjye ndi uwawe" (You are mine, I am yours), signifies this covenant relationship, a mutual belonging established through Christ's sacrifice. This declaration of belonging is not conditional but is a testament to God's faithful commitment, mirroring the promises found in Jeremiah 31:33: "But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people." The song reassures listeners that, regardless of their perceived inadequacies or past failings, God's love and acceptance are sealed by the blood of Jesus, making them eternally His. The repeated call to "Genda ubeho" (Go and live) is a powerful exhortation to embrace this divine assurance, to walk in the freedom and life that Christ has secured, knowing that they are fully accepted and eternally loved.
