Lyrics
Intro
Daudi kasema, nilikuwa kijana sasa ni mzee
Daudi kasema, nilikuwa kijana sasa ni mzee
Sijawahi ona mwenye haki ameachwa mimi
Wala watoto wake kuombaomba mikate barabarani
Chorus
Mungu ni mwaminifu, kwa ahadi zake wanadamu
Mungu ni mwaminifu, kwa ahadi zake si kama wanadamu
Akiongea Yesu ameongea,
Akikuahidia kitu, Baba ameahidi na ujasiri aah
Atatenda kwa wakati wake yoyoo
Ninamwita Bwana wa amani yeyeyee
Ninamwita mfalme wa amani bwaanaa
Ndio maana mimi ninaimba kwa sababu ya amani yake
Ni uwezo gani, uwezo gani unaompinga Yesu
Uwezo gani, uwezo gani, uwezo gani
Mfalme wa amani, mfalme wa amani uinuliwe
Wewe ni mwema, wewe ni mwema Bwana wangu
Verse 1
Usilie, usilie, usiliwe wewe
Usilie Bwana anakujua ndugu yangu
Amesikia kilio chako wewe mama
Unalia nini kwa wanadamu, mama yangu
Wanadamu hawatakusaidia na kitu
Wanadamu hawatakuwezesha kwa kitu chochote
Tunaye mmoja anayepanguza machozi ya watu wake
Ni yule mfalme wa amani
Ni yule aliyesema yote imekwisha
Mama unayoyapitia ni yeye anayeyaona
anajua shida yako mama yangu
Anajua magumu yako baba yangu
Ukiwa na shida usiende kwa waganga wa dunia
Ukiwa na magumu usiende kwa wafumu wa dunia
Bridge
Muite mfalme wa amani, yeye anajibu maombi
Ni uwezo gani, uwezo gani unaompinga Baba
Uwezo gani, uwezo gani, uwezo gani
Chorus (Reprise)
Mfalme wa amani, uinuliwe Bwana wangu
Yale unayotenda inashangaza dunia nzima
Wanaokosa amani ndani ya nyumba zao wape amani
Wanaokosa amani ndani ya kazi zao wape amani
Ni wewe Bwana wa amani ya kudumu
Ni wewe Bwana wa amani ya Afrika
Amerika wanalia amani
Tunawe Bwana mfalme wa amani
Hakuna kitu kile kinachokushinda Bwana
Outro
Yeye Mfalme wa Amani uinuliwe
Wewe ni mwema, wewe ni mwema Bwana wangu

Meaning & Inspiration
“Mfalme wa Amani,” meaning “King of Peace,” is a Swahili worship song by Solomon Mukubwa that praises God’s faithfulness. It opens with the words of David: he was young and is now old, and he has never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging for bread. The chorus builds on that, saying that God is faithful to His promises, unlike people, and that what He promises He does in His time.
The first verse speaks to someone who is crying. It says the Lord knows and has heard, that people cannot help, and that there is one who wipes away the tears of His people. It also urges the listener not to go to the healers or diviners of the world with their troubles.
The closing chorus asks the King of Peace to give peace in homes and workplaces, across Africa and in America. The opening is close to Psalm 37:25, the title recalls Isaiah 9:6, and the comfort is near Revelation 21:4. The song is a prayer for peace and trust.
