Kenyan gospel musician Guardian Angel has released a new prayerful song titled Baba Uhuru Mkono wa Mungu, done in collaboration with the Neema Gospel Choir, and it is already touching many listeners across the country.
The song comes at a time when many Kenyans are dealing with personal struggles and uncertainty, making its message of prayer and faith feel timely and relatable.
The song carries a deep spiritual message and is presented as a collective prayer rather than a personal performance. Its title loosely translates to “Father, Freedom, the Hand of God,” which reflects its central themes.
Through the song, there is a clear appeal to God as a caring father, a request for freedom from burdens, and a plea for divine intervention in both personal lives and national matters.
Even without the full lyrics being widely available online, the message comes through clearly and consistently.
Sung mainly in Swahili, the track is supported by strong choral harmonies from the Neema Gospel Choir. The choir’s presence gives the song a communal feel, as if many voices are praying together. This approach strengthens the sense of unity and shared faith, reminding listeners that prayer is often a collective act, especially during difficult times.
The music video adds meaning to the song by including symbolic images and short clips of former President Uhuru Kenyatta during various public moments. These scenes show him at national events and alongside other leaders, highlighting shared national history rather than political positions. The appearance of Mama Ida Odinga further supports the message of unity and togetherness beyond political lines.
The inclusion of Uhuru Kenyatta has drawn attention because of his recent public comments about his health.
In late 2025, he openly spoke about battling an illness while addressing mourners at the funeral of his longtime friend, banker Frank Ireri, who died of cancer. During his speech, Kenyatta spoke emotionally about the support he received from Ireri during his own health challenges and encouraged others facing illness to remain strong in faith and courage.
Although he did not share details about his condition, his honesty sparked concern and sympathy from many Kenyans.
After the video of his speech spread online, social media was filled with messages of prayer, encouragement, and goodwill. Against this background, the prayerful message of Baba Uhuru Mkono wa Mungu has felt especially meaningful to many listeners.
The song fits well within Guardian Angel’s known style and purpose. He has built a reputation for music that focuses on seeking God’s guidance and closeness, as seen in earlier songs like Nishike Mkono.
In this release, that message is strengthened by the involvement of a gospel choir, turning the song into a shared act of worship. Rather than aiming to entertain, the song stands as a humble prayer for healing, unity, and God’s hand to move in the lives of individuals and the nation as a whole.
