Zabron Singers - Mkono Wa Bwana Lyrics
Lyrics
Tumeuona mkono wake Bwana
Mengi mazuri tumeyaona, Mungu umetenda Ni kweli we muweza Ulitamka vitu vikawa Neno tu latosha Ukisema umetenda Bahari shamu Isiraeli Ah uliwavusha Kawatoa utumwani Watumishi wako umewapa Yote waombayo Ikiwa umependezwa
Uamulo hakuna wa kulipinga Hakika we ni Mungu, wa vyote Unatawala dunia na vilivyomo Makuu umeyatenda, Jehova
Refrain: Tumeuona, mkono wako Bwana Matendo yako Bwana ni makuu mno Umetutoa mbali, ukatushika mkono Mahali uliona pekee hatuwezi Chini hata juu, watu unawainua Sifa na utukufu ni zako milele Twasifu jina lako, milele tutakusifu Daima we u mwema tutaishi kwako
Tumeuona, mkono wako Bwana Matendo yako Bwana ni makuu mno Umetutoa mbali, ukatushika mkono Mahali uliona pekee hatuwezi Chini hata juu, watu unawainua Sifa na utukufu ni zako milele Twasifu jina lako, milele tutakusifu Daima we u mwema tutaishi kwako
Ona ona ona ona Msalabani ulitufia, hm ulitupenda Dhambi zetu ukabeba Baraka zako tuliziomba kweli tumeona Hakika unabariki Hata vipaji we ndo hutoa umetuwezesha Tunaimba na kusifu Walio haki hutowaacha, uliwaahidi Hata mwisho wa dahari
Hm watu wako umewapa mamlaka kwa jina lako Yesu Waponye Na huna ubaguzi Wote ni sawa kwako Umetuita Yesu, tupone
(Refrain)
Ona ona ona
Daima we umwema tutaishi kwako
(Repeat)

Meaning & Inspiration
When the Zabron Singers released this track back in 2016, they hit on a truth that every believer needs to be reminded of in the daily grind: God is not a distant deity watching from the rafters, but a hands-on Father pulling us through the mud. The phrase Mkono wa Bwana—the hand of the Lord—is more than just a catchy chorus; it is a confession of divine intervention. It draws directly from the imagery of the Israelites at the Red Sea, where God did not just offer moral advice, but moved physically to open a way where there was none. When they sing Ulitamka vitu vikawa, they are grounding their worship in Genesis 1, affirming that the same voice that spoke galaxies into existence is the same voice currently sustaining our breath.
The theology here is unapologetically centered on God’s sovereignty. They acknowledge that when He acts, Uamulo hakuna wa kulipinga—no one can overturn His decrees. It is a bold stance that echoes Isaiah 43:13, where the Lord declares that no one can snatch anything out of His hand. You see this shift from historical observation to personal application when they sing about being brought from a long way off. It moves from talking about God to talking to Him, recognizing that when we reached the end of our own strength, His hand became the anchor. This aligns with the promise in Hebrews 13:5 that He will never leave us or forsake us.
The second half of the song shifts the focus to the cross, explicitly linking their current blessings to the redemptive work of Jesus. They note Msalabani ulitufia, bringing the focus back to the weight of sin being removed. By connecting the grace of salvation to the daily provision of talents and gifts, the singers are pointing to James 1:17, acknowledging that every good and perfect gift comes from above. They emphasize that God shows no partiality, a clear nod to Peter’s realization in Acts 10:34 that God does not play favorites. It is a humble admission that every drop of healing and every ounce of authority we walk in is derivative of His name. If you ever feel like you are walking on your own, remember that you are being carried by the only Hand that never tires and never lets go.
