Renowned gospel artist Israel Mbonyi, widely known for his soul-touching songs in Kinyarwanda and Swahili, is now expanding his musical reach with a new song in English titled No Doubt.
The song carries a powerful message of faith and resilience, as reflected in its lyrics:
"I have lived long enough, I ain’t never seen a righteous forsaken,
I am a living testimony, This hope does not put me to shame,
We appear as though we are needy yet making many rich,
We look like we got nothing yet possessing everything."
The release of No Doubt has already sparked excitement among his fans and gospel music lovers. Journalist Rugaju Reagan, while referring to the song, quoted Psalms 37:25 and praised Mbonyi for his biblical inspiration:
"Psalms 37:25 Glory to God He reads the Bible then blessed our souls. My lovely brother."
A step towards global influence
Israel Mbonyi has long been a dominant figure in Rwandan gospel music, with hit songs like Nina Siri, Nita Amini, Sikiliza, and Baho. His music has transcended borders, gaining immense popularity in East African countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, and Burundi, where Swahili is widely spoken.
With the introduction of an English song, Mbonyi aims to reach an even broader audience, including English-speaking listeners worldwide. This marks a significant step in his musical career as he moves toward global recognition.
