Paul Clement - Mwema (Good) Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1 (Paul Clement)
Wema wako si kwa wakati wa furaha tu,
Wema wako pia wakati
Hata wa machozi,
Wema wako haupimiki
Kwa majira fulani tu,
Wema wako ni kila wakati na kila nyakati,
Hata sasa ni Mwema
Tunapoimba ni Mwema,
Tunapolia ni Mwema
Tunapo cheka ni Mwema,
Tunapopanda ni Mwema
Tunapovuna ni Mwema,
CHOURUS
Wewe ni Mwema
Umwemaaaa
Wewe ni Mwema
Unatupenda,unatupenda
Wewe ni Mwema.
Verse 2 (Bella kombo)
Wema wako ni kama mchanga siwezi kuhesabu,
Wema wako ni kama maji
Yanayomiminika bila kukoma,
Mtu akinge ama asikinge
Hayataacha kutoka,
Hata sasa ni Mwema,
Tunapoimba ni Mwema,
Tunapolia ni Mwema
Tunapo cheka ni Mwema
CHOURUS
Wewe ni Mwema
Umwemaaa
Wewe ni Mwema,
Unatupenda,unatupenda
Wewe ni Mwema.
Your goodness, is not only in good times
Your goodness is also seen in times of grief
Your goodness is not only measured in certain seasons
Your goodness is in every moment and in every season
Even now You are good
As we sing, You are good
As we cry, You are good
As we laugh, You are good
As we sow, You are good
As we harvest, You are good.
Chorus
You are good
You are good
You are good
Your goodness is like the sand, it cannot be counted
Your goodness is like running water that flows endlessly
Whether or not somebody fetches, it never ceases to flow
Even now, You are good
As we sing, You are good
As we cry, You are good
As we laugh, You are good
As we sow, You are good
As we harvest, You are good

Meaning & Inspiration
Paul Clement brought us a needed anchor in 2020 with this collaboration alongside Bella Kombo, cutting through the noise of human emotion to touch on a foundational truth of our faith. We often treat God like a vending machine, assuming His goodness is a reward for our sunny days, but this track flips that script by insisting that He is consistent even when the sky turns gray. When the lyrics declare that He is good even in times of tears, they are speaking the same language as Job in the dust, who knew that even if the Lord takes away, His character remains fixed. It is a bold declaration of sovereignty that echoes Psalm 100:5, where we read that the Lord is good and His steadfast love endures forever. The song rejects the shallow idea that we need a change in our circumstances to identify the hand of God at work.
The imagery Bella Kombo brings—comparing His goodness to the grains of sand and water that flows whether we catch it or not—is a vivid reminder of grace that exists independently of our perception. God does not wait for our permission or our recognition to be who He is. His nature is like a spring that cannot be stopped; it flows whether we are thirsty or indifferent. This mirrors the reality of Matthew 5:45, where the sun rises on the evil and the good, and the rain falls on the just and the unjust, showing a grace that permeates every facet of creation. When the track insists that we are good in the sowing and the harvest, it brings us back to the reality that God is the author of both the struggle and the breakthrough. You do not define God by your bank account or your physical health; you define your life by the unshakeable reality of His unchanging heart. Faith isn't about ignoring the tears, but about realizing that the tears don't change the nature of the Father. He is as much our provider in the middle of a drought as He is when the granaries are full. Clinging to this truth allows you to stand firm when the world shifts because you know that the anchor is held by hands that were nailed to a cross to prove that goodness is His signature move, even when it costs Him everything.
