Lyrics
Ulikubali mateso ya msalaba
Ukalipa gharama yangu kwa damu
Uliona kuwa Mungu si kitu, ukashuka chini
Ulikubali mateso ya msalaba
Ukalipa gharama yangu kwa damu
Uliona kuwa Mungu si kitu, ukashuka chini
Ulikubali mateso ya msalaba
Ukalipa gharama yangu kwa damu
Uliona kuwa Mungu si kitu, ukashuka chini
Haleluya Haleluya
Haleluya Mwana kondoo wa Mungu
Uliyemwaga damu
Naimba Haleluya
Haleluya Haleluya
Haleluya Mwana kondoo wa Mungu
Uliyemwaga damu
Naimba Haleluya
Oh oh oooh-ooh-oh
Mwanakondoo wa Mungu
Uliyemwaga damu
Naimba Haleluya

Meaning & Inspiration
“MwanaKondoo” centers on Christ as the Lamb of God who accepted the suffering of the cross and shed his blood. Its opening lines dwell on sacrifice and costly redemption, while the repeated hallelujah turns that confession into worship. The song’s compact language keeps attention on Christ’s humility, moving from his divine status to his willing descent and suffering. Repetition reinforces the central response: praise belongs to the Lamb who gave himself.
The title and refrain clearly recall John the Baptist’s declaration identifying Jesus as the Lamb of God. The references to the cross, blood, and payment also correspond with New Testament descriptions of redemption through Christ’s sacrifice. As the verses give way to repeated hallelujahs, the song moves from recounting what Christ endured to adoration for what his death accomplished. That pattern gives the piece a distinctly worshipful character, with the sacrifice of Jesus serving as both its subject and its reason for praise.
