Lyrics
Unaweza mammbo Yote yaloshinda wanadamu
Unaweza mammbo Yote hakuna likushindalo
Unaweza mammbo Yote Hilo Ndilo jina lako
Unaweza Unaweza Unaweza Bwana
Wainui na Wanyonge Kuwaketisha na Wafalme
Mioyo Iliyobondeka Umekandakanda Bwana
Umewafuta na Machozi wote Waliolia

Umekuwa Mwema Baba Niseme Nini Mbele Zako
Hulinganisha Haufananishwi Wewe Ni Mungu Wa Tofouti

Umenishindia Maadui Walotaka Kuja Kabisa
Magonjwa yanotaka Kunimaliza Umeniponya Bwana
Hakuna Likushindalo Wewe upo Upande Wangu
Jina Lako Unaweza Bwana
Umenipa ata Nguvu ya Kukanyaga Nyoka Ngege
Hakuna Likushindalo Hili Ndilo Jina Lako Baba
Umeiponya Wenye Saratani,Ukoma Ukimwi Nakuaminia
Unaweza Unaweza Unaweza Bwana
Unaweza Unaweza Bwana
Unaweza Unaweza Bwana
Unaweza Unaweza Unaweza Bwana

Meaning & Inspiration
‘Unaweza Bwana’ is a sustained confession of God’s ability and goodness. Its refrain declares that nothing is beyond the Lord, while the verses describe divine care for the lowly, comfort for broken hearts, and tears wiped away. Personal lines about crossing valleys, climbing mountains, healing, and victory over enemies turn praise into testimony. The song’s repeated title gives each example the same conclusion: the Lord is able.
The lyrics draw on biblical images without making hardship seem unreal. God raises the poor to sit with princes, a theme stated in the Psalms, and remains near those whose hearts are broken. References to authority over serpents and scorpions recall Jesus’ words to his disciples. Claims of healing are expressed as worship and trust in God’s power, not as a detailed account of particular events. As a Swahili praise song, it combines gratitude for past help with confidence in God’s continuing presence and unmatched character.
