Kambua’s new song, “Hakawii,” is a powerful and heartfelt gospel ballad that is epic as they come. The song, which translates to “He is not late,” serves as a reminder of God’s perfect timing and faithfulness, even when circumstances may make it feel otherwise.
“Hakawii” is an affirmation that God is never late and is always right on time. The lyrics speak to a personal journey of waiting and trusting, even when facing tears, silence, and doubt. Kambua has stated that she has “lived it” and knows firsthand that “Mungu Hakawii” (God is not late), a message that resonates deeply with her own experiences with infertility, miscarriage, and child loss. The song encourages listeners to hold on to faith and trust in God’s promises.
Written and produced by J. Blessing and with co-production by Saint P, the song has been met with a strong, emotional response from fans, many of whom have shared their own testimonies of waiting on God’s timing for various miracles, including finding jobs and having children. The lyrics, particularly lines like “Kila chozi lina majira” (Every tear has its timing) have struck a chord with listeners.
The video uses scenes of a pottery workshop, a home interior and an outdoor garden to visually represent the song’s core message: that God is never late and works in His own time, shaping us and fulfilling His promises.
