"Virtuous Woman (Ruth Zungu)"
(Verse 1)
There were days when my shoulders carried burdens too heavy to explain,
Days I smiled outside but inside I was drowning in pain.
I questioned myself, I questioned tomorrow,
Yet every time I looked behind me...
You were still standing there.
Not because life was easy,
Not because we had everything,
But because your heart chose love
When giving up would've been easier.
Ruth Zungu...
You became my answered prayer,
God wrapped in kindness,
A blessing I never deserved.
(Pre-Chorus)
You wiped tears I tried to hide,
You believed in dreams that even I had buried.
You carried this family with quiet strength,
Never asking for applause.
(Chorus)
Oh Ruth... my virtuous woman,
More precious than rubies, that's who you are.
The Lord Himself must smile upon you,
Because your heart reflects His own.
Mother of Azariah, Atarah, Ariah and Adriel,
You built our home with prayer and love.
If I searched this whole wide world,
I'd still come back to you.
Nalikutemwa sana...
Nshakakuleke.
Until my final breath,
I'll thank God for you.
(Verse 2)
When money was little,
You made little become enough.
When hope became weak,
You reminded me that God never fails.
When I stumbled,
You didn't laugh at my failures.
Instead you held my hand
And whispered, "We'll overcome."
You carried our children with gentle hands,
Teaching them kindness before they learned words.
You became their comfort,
Their safe place,
Their example.
Azariah smiles because of your love.
Atarah shines because of your guidance.
Ariah laughs because you fill our home with joy.
Adriel grows knowing what a mother's embrace feels like.
(Pre-Chorus – Bemba/Nyanja)
Mama wesu... twalumba Lesa.
Nimwe mutengo wa pa ng'anda.
Muli umutende... muli uluse.
Nilibe mawu yakukwanira,
Koma mtima wanga ukuziŵa,
Ndine wodala chifukwa cha inu.
(Chorus)
Oh Ruth... my virtuous woman,
More precious than rubies, that's who you are.
The Lord Himself must smile upon you,
Because your heart reflects His own.
Mother of Azariah, Atarah, Ariah and Adriel,
You built our home with prayer and love.
If I searched this whole wide world,
I'd still come back to you.
(Bridge)
Like the woman in Proverbs thirty-one,
Strength is your clothing.
Wisdom flows from your lips.
Grace follows every step you take.
Your children will rise and call you blessed.
Your husband stands with a grateful heart.
Many women have done noble things...
But to me, Ruth,
You surpass them all.
You are not just my wife.
You are my best friend.
My greatest testimony.
My greatest earthly blessing.
(Instrumental Build)
(Final Chorus – Powerful)
Ruth Zungu...
The Queen of our home.
Mother of our children,
Keeper of our dreams.
Azariah, Atarah, Ariah and Adriel,
Will forever know
That they were raised by a woman
Who feared God above all else.
You stood through storms.
You stood through tears.
You stood through uncertainty.
And you never stopped believing.
Today I honour you.
Tomorrow I'll honour you.
For the rest of my life...
I'll honour you.
Nalikutemwa mpaka kalekale.
Lesa akupale.
Lesa akulinde.
Forever my wife...
Forever my answered prayer...
Forever my Proverbs 31 woman.
(Outro)
If heaven asked me one earthly blessing
I could never repay...
I'd simply whisper your name...
Ruth Zungu.
Thank you...
For choosing me...
For loving me...
For believing in us.
I love you.
