Lyrics
Verse 1
Ooh Kweli na kwamba Danieli
Alikuwa katikati ya simba wenye njaa kali
Ooh Kweli na kwamba Danieli
Alikuwa katikati ya simba wenye njaa kali
Mbali na kwamba Shedraki na Abedinego
Walitupwa kwenye tanuru la moto
Watu wakajiuliza sana, tulitupa watatu
Wanne amatoka wapi?
Askari wakajiuliza, tulitupa watatu
Wanne amatoka wapi?
Kumbe katikati ya taabu Mungu yupo
Katikati ya mateso Mungu yupo
Katikati ya taabu zako Mungu yuko
Katikati ya vita kubwa Mungu yupo
Hawezi kukusahau, Hawezi kukumbia
Oh Mungu wetu hawezi kukusahau
Chorus
Mungu hawezi (Oh Mungu Mungu) hawezi
(oh Mungu Mungu) Mungu hawezi kukusahau
(Hawezi kuwacha ujifie mwenyewe)
Mungu hawezi (Mungu hawezi) hawezi
(Mungu hawezi) Mungu hawezi kukusahau
(Hawezi kuwacha ujifie mwenyewe)
Usife Moyo ndugu wewe
Mungu hawezi (Oh Mungu Mungu) hawezi
(oh Mungu Mungu) Mungu hawezi kukusahau
(Hawezi kuwacha ujifie mwenyewe)
Usikate tamaa Mungu hawezi
Mungu hawezi, hawezi
Mungu hawezi kukusahau
Usijione uko pekee yako, aah
Verse 2
Kwa nini umepanga kujiua wewe?
Kwa nini umepanga kuikana imani yako?
Kwa nini umepanga kwenda kwa waganga wa kienyeji?
Unaona maisha yamefika mwisho
Kwa nini umepanga kujiua wewe?
Kwa nini umepanga kuikana imani yako?
Kwa nini umepanga kwenda kwa waganga wa kienyeji?
Umehangaika sana ndugu
Ooh unaona kama dunia zima umeachwa pekee yako
Ninalo neno nataka kusema na wewe
Ninalo neno nataka kuzungumza nawe
Hata upitie shida ndugu yangu
Hata upitie magumu ndugu yangu
Mungu yuko na wewe katikati ya majaribu

Haweezi haweezi, Hawezi Mungu

Meaning & Inspiration
This Swahili song by Christopher Mwahangila is written as encouragement for anyone who feels forgotten. Its title and refrain, "Mungu hawezi kukusahau," mean "God cannot forget you," and the verses build that claim from Bible stories.
The first verse recalls Daniel among hungry lions and Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the furnace, where the watching soldiers ask who the fourth figure is. From there the singer concludes that God is present in trouble, suffering and spiritual battle. The second verse speaks directly to a person tempted toward despair, turning to the occult or abandoning faith, and urges them not to give up.
The third verse is a personal word to a mother, father and friend, ending with a contrast repeated in each line: people may forget, reject or leave, "lakini sio Mungu" (but not God). The song is useful for pastoral settings, funerals, and any gathering where listeners need a reminder of God's faithfulness during hardship.
