Lyrics
Unajubu maombi Unajibu maombi
Unajibu maombi Nakuamini Bwana
Ezekia alipougua alikulilia ukamsikia
Ukamponya na kumwongezea mwaka, Maana unajibu maombi,
Nami leo nakuita Baba usinifiche uso wako
Na wale waliokata tamaa, maana wewe u mwaminifu
Unajubu maombi Unajibu maombi
Unajibu maombi Nakuamini Bwana
Umesema ikiwa watu wako Tulioitwa kwa jina lako Tutajinyenyekesha na kuomba na kuutafuta uso wako
Na kuziacha njia zetu mbaya, utasikia toka mbinguni
Na kutusamehe maovu yetu na kuiponya nchi yetu
Unajubu maombi Unajibu maombi
Unajibu maombi Nakuamini Bwana
Nakuabudu Mungu mwaminifu, wewe ni Mungu usiyeshindwa.
Mungu unashika maagano nakuabudu Bwana
Sikio lako sio nzito, wewe ni Mungu uliyekaribu
Toka mbinguni sikia na kujibu, Nakuabudu Bwana
Unajubu maombi Unajibu maombi
Unajibu maombi Nakuamini Bwana
Unajubu maombi Unajibu maombi
Unajibu maombi Nakuamini Bwana

Meaning & Inspiration
Unajibu Maombi centers on confidence that God hears and answers prayer. The account of Hezekiah provides its first biblical example: a sick king cries out, receives healing, and is granted additional years. The lyrics then broaden that appeal to people who have lost hope, grounding prayer in the conviction that God is faithful, near, and able to act.
A substantial section closely follows the promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14, linking answered prayer with humility, seeking God, and turning from wrongdoing. Worship and petition remain joined throughout the song. God is praised as a covenant keeper who cannot be defeated, while the repeated refrain expresses trust rather than presumption. The result is a prayer song shaped by repentance, persistence, and confidence in divine mercy, with healing understood both personally and in relation to the wider community.
