Rest in Peace Ruth (Remix)

(Oh, Lord, hold her close)

(Hallelujah, we trust in Your way)

The chair is empty where you used to sit

The silence in the house is hard to bear

I look at your children and I see your light

Reflected in their eyes, your spirit still there

Ruth Tembo, you were the pillar, strong and true

Now we hold onto the memories of you

Rest in peace, my sister, find your perfect rest

In the arms of the Father, you are surely blessed

Oh, Ruth Tembo, your legacy is love

Watching over us all from the heavens above

Yes Lord, we believe

Thank You Jesus, for the time you gave

I see their faces and the tears start to flow

Asking questions that I can't quite answer yet

But God is the Father to the fatherless now

A promise that He made, a love that won't forget

You held us together through the storm and the gale

Your faith in the Savior was the wind in our sail

Rest in peace, my sister, find your perfect rest

In the arms of the Father, you are surely blessed

Oh, Ruth Tembo, your legacy is love

Watching over us all from the heavens above

Glory, He is our strength

Amen, in the valley of the shadow

It’s heavy, this burden, this parting of ways

We’re walking through darkness for the rest of our days

But Your light is a lamp, and Your word is our guide

We know she is walking right there by Your side

Thank You Jesus, for the gift of her soul

We’ll raise up these children in the grace that you knew

We’ll tell them of stories and the love that you drew

From the well of the Spirit, deep and profound

Your name, Ruth Tembo, on holy, holy ground

We praise Him, even through the ache in our chest

We praise Him, because You give the weary rest

Rest in peace, my sister, find your perfect rest

In the arms of the Father, you are surely blessed

Oh, Ruth Tembo, your legacy is love

Watching over us all from the heavens above

Praise Him, He wipes every tear

Yes Lord, we feel You near

Rest now, sister, the work is all done

Until we meet again, when the victory is won

Ruth Tembo, you are forever home

In His presence, never alone

Amen. Amen.
