Lyrics
Chorus
Hakuna gumu kwa Yesu (There is nothing difficult for Jesus)
Hakuna gumu kwa Yesu (There is nothing difficult for Jesus)
Msalabani, alimaliza (On the cross, He finished it all)
Yote, hakuna gumu kwa Yesu (Everything, there is nothing difficult for Jesus)
Verse 1
Ile laana ilosababishwa na Adamu wa kwanza
Adamu wa pili alimaliza msalabani
Yale magonjwa yalosababishwa na Adamu wa kwanza
Yule wa pili aliyamaliza msalabani
Verse 2
Yale mashaka yalosababishwa na Adamu wa kwanza
Adamu wa pili aliyamaliza msalabani
Ile laana ya Adamu wa kwanza
Yesu mwenyewe aliyamaliza msalabani
Verse 3
Kama vile Musa alivyo inua nyoka wa shaba
Ndivyo Yesu ameinuliwa msalabani
Amwaminie asipotee awe na uzima
wa milele, uzima tele wa milele
Bridge
Mifupa mikavu inatua
Magonjwa yanapona
Kitabu cha maisha kinaandikwa
Kwako Yesu, hakuna gumu
Outro
Yesu tunakupenda
Yesu tunakushukuru
Baba tunakupenda
Yesu tunakushukuru

Meaning & Inspiration
“Hakuna Gumu” by Neema Gospel Choir is a Swahili song whose title and refrain mean “there is nothing difficult for Jesus.” The chorus ties that claim to the cross: “Msalabani, alimaliza” (on the cross, He finished it). The verses build on the contrast between the first Adam and the second. The curse, sickness, and anxiety that came through the first Adam are said to have been finished at the cross by the second.
The third verse recalls Moses lifting up the bronze serpent and says that in the same way Jesus has been lifted up, so that whoever believes will not perish but have everlasting life. The bridge moves to present hope, with dry bones coming to rest, sickness healing, and the book of life being written.
The song is close to Romans 5:12-19 on the two Adams, Numbers 21:9 and John 3:14-15 on the lifted serpent, and Ezekiel 37 on dry bones. The short ending thanks and loves Jesus, closing the song in worship.
