PRAISE TEAM - BWANA WA MABWANA Lyrics

“Bwana wa Mabwana” is a Swahili declaration that Jesus is Lord above every other lord. Its repeated call to give him praise keeps the focus on his worthiness, his exalted name, and his saving authority. The song also remembers his humility in leaving glory, looks toward his return, and celebrates his power to forgive. Names such as Ebenezer and El Shaddai reinforce the confession that God has helped, provided, and acted with goodness.

The repetition functions as communal praise, returning again and again to the central claim that Jesus deserves honor. Philippians 2 closely matches the song’s language: Christ humbled himself, was highly exalted, and will be confessed as Lord. Revelation 19 likewise names him King of kings and Lord of lords, while 1 Samuel 7 explains the title Ebenezer as a witness to God’s help. Together, these references support a song marked by gratitude, confidence, and expectant praise.
