Christ Ambassadors - Kwetu Pazuri Lyrics
Lyrics
Ninayo hamu kurudi nyumbani
Nyumbani kwetu ambapo hatutatengana
Hapo nyumbani kwetu hakuna makaburi
Wala hakuna vyandarua maana hakuna malaria
Kwetu ni pazuri ni pazuri nakuambia
Najua nawe ndugu yangu unayo hamu ya kufika huko
Kwetu pazuri nimeshapakumbuka
Ninayo hamu kuishi na mwokozi wangu
Kwa amani na furaha tena ya ajabu
Sipati picha kwa watakaofika
kwetu mbinguni
Hii dunia imejaa shida
Kama hujui nenda hospitali kaone
Lakini kwetu hakuna fani ya tabibu
Watakatifu watachuma
Majani ya mti wa uzima wawe na afya
Hawataugua magonjwa tabu
Tutaziacha zote hapa duniani
Kwetu pazuri nimeshapakumbuka
Ninayo hamu kuishi na mwokozi wangu
Kwa amani na furaha tena ya ajabu
Sipati picha kwa watakaofika
kwetu mbinguni
Mpendwa njoo turudi nyumbani
Asubuhi yaja tuyakimbie ya dunia
Atakayekosa hapo kweli ni hasara
Aya matatizo ni mitego ya shetani
Ili tushindwe kufika nyumbani
Kwetu pazuri
Lakini kwa jina jina la yesu
Tumemshinda tunaenda
Kwetu pazuri nimeshapakumbuka
Ninayo hamu kuishi na mwokozi wangu
Kwa amani na furaha tena ya ajabu
Sipati picha kwa watakaofika
kwetu mbinguni

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on June 5, 2018, Christ Ambassadors' "Kwetu Pazuri" immediately establishes itself as a profound spiritual journey, weaving a narrative of hopeful anticipation for an eternal home. The title itself, meaning "Our Home is Beautiful," succinctly encapsulates the song's core message, drawing listeners into a contemplative state about their ultimate destination. It’s a track that doesn't just entertain but genuinely seeks to uplift and redirect focus from earthly fleetingness to heavenly permanence, making it a staple for those seeking spiritual solace and encouragement.
The song paints a vivid picture of this longed-for dwelling, contrasting it sharply with the struggles and heartaches of the present world. The lyrics express a deep yearning: "Ninayo hamu kurudi nyumbani" (I long to return home), a home where "hakuna makaburi" (there are no graves), "wala hakuna vyandarua maana hakuna malaria" (nor mosquito nets because there is no malaria). This imagery extends beyond just the absence of physical ailments or death; it symbolizes a complete liberation from all forms of suffering, sickness, and separation. This resonates deeply with the promise found in Revelation 21:4, which speaks of a time when God "will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." The ultimate joy, as the song proclaims, is the desire to live with the Savior "kwa amani na furaha tena ya ajabu" (in peace and amazing joy), an echo of John 14:3 where Jesus promises to come back and take His followers to be with Him.
The lyrical narrative further highlights the harsh realities of "Hii dunia imejaa shida" (This world is full of troubles), using the simple yet powerful example of hospitals to underscore the prevalence of illness. Yet, in the anticipated heavenly home, "hakuna fani ya tabibu" (there is no need for doctors), because the saints "watachuma Majani ya mti wa uzima wawe na afya" (will pluck leaves from the tree of life to be healthy). This directly references Revelation 22:2, which describes the tree of life whose leaves are "for the healing of the nations," a powerful symbol of eternal well-being and freedom from disease. The repeated chorus, "Kwetu pazuri nimeshapakumbuka, Ninayo hamu kuishi na mwokozi wangu, Kwa amani na furaha tena ya ajabu, Sipati picha kwa watakaofika kwetu mbinguni" (Our beautiful home, I have remembered it, I long to live with my Savior, in peace and amazing joy, I can't even imagine for those who will reach our home in heaven), beautifully captures the indescribable nature of God's presence and the overwhelming joy awaiting believers.
Beyond merely expressing a longing, "Kwetu Pazuri" evolves into a poignant invitation and a powerful declaration of faith. It extends a call to "Mpendwa njoo turudi nyumbani" (Beloved, come, let's go back home), framing worldly problems as "mitego ya shetani" (traps of the devil) designed to hinder one's journey to this eternal dwelling. This underscores the spiritual battle believers face, where distractions and difficulties can divert them from their ultimate hope. However, the song swiftly pivots to a triumphant affirmation: "Lakini kwa jina jina la yesu, Tumemshinda tunaenda" (But by the name, the name of Jesus, we have overcome, we are going). This powerful declaration aligns with Philippians 2:9-11, where every knee will bow and every tongue confess Jesus as Lord, and Romans 8:37, which assures believers that "in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." It’s a testament to the conquering power of Christ's name, providing reassurance and strength to press on.
Ultimately, "Kwetu Pazuri" serves as a profound anthem of hope, resilience, and unwavering faith. It doesn't just provide a momentary escape from worldly woes but rather instills an enduring vision of eternal peace and joy with the Creator. The song profoundly encourages believers to maintain their spiritual compass, reminding them that while the journey through this life may be fraught with challenges, a beautiful, perfect home awaits—a home secured by the victory of Jesus, where every longing will be satisfied and every tear wiped away. It's a vital message, timeless in its relevance, reinforcing the ultimate promise of scripture and inspiring listeners to live with heaven in view.
