Lyrics
Verse 1
Asante Yesu
Libarikiwe jina lako bwana
Uinuliwe Bwana
Mungu Baba Mtakatifu
Uliemwema na mkamilifu
Mungu Baba na Roho Mtakatifu
Uletae uhai
Mfariji wa kweli
Wewe ulietabibu
Unaeganga mioyo yetu
Uliemwema wakati wote
Ata sasa ooh Bwana
Ulieweka mchana na usiku
Ujuae mwanzo na mwisho wetu
Wakati wa furaha na uchungu
Utabaki kuitwa Mungu
Chorus
Ni wewe, Ni wewe Bwana
Ni wewe, Ni wewe Bwana
Hakuna kama wewe
Ni wewe, ni wewe Bwana
Ni wewe, ni wewe Bwana
Verse 2
Ninaposema wewe ni Bwana
Ni kweli namaanisha
Maana haubadilishwi na mazingira
Wewe wayabadilisha
Unaweza badilisha uchungu
Unaweza badilisha mateso kuwa furaha
Kilio kuwa kicheko
Unaweza badilisha huzuni
Machozi yanaotoka yakamiminika kama mito kuwa Amani
Bridge
Wewe ni mfariji
We ndiye Amani
We ndiye Amani
Hakuna zaidi yako
Chorus
Wewe Ni Wewe Ni Wewe Bwana
Ni wewe, Ni wewe, Ni wewe Bwana
Unaetupa Amani ya kutosha
Ni wewe Bwana Ni wewe Bwana
Outro
Rafiki, Rafiki, Rafiki wa Kweli
Ni wewe Bwana Ni wewe Bwana
Ni wewe Bwana Ni wewe Bwana
Ni wewe Bwana Ni wewe Bwana

Meaning & Inspiration
Mfariji Wangu is a Swahili song of thanks to God as the Comforter. The opening gives thanks to Jesus, saying blessed be His name, and calls Him the holy Father, good and perfect, who brings life, a true comforter, a healer and one who mends hearts. It adds that He is good at all times and knows the beginning and end of each person, so He remains God in joy and in pain.
The chorus repeats "Ni wewe, Ni wewe Bwana," meaning "It is You, it is You, Lord," and the verse says that when the singer calls Him Lord it is meant sincerely because He does not change with circumstances. The bridge says He can change pain to joy, tears into laughter, and sorrow into peace like rivers, and the ending calls Him a true friend. The themes follow Psalm 147:3 on healing the brokenhearted, John 14:16-18 on the Comforter, and 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 on the God of all comfort. The repeated refrain gives the song a tender, thankful tone.
