Kumbukumbu ya Theonest Mashamba (Remix)

Oh, we gather in Your name, Lord

To honor a life, to honor a legacy

Hallelujah, we remember today

Six years have passed since you walked these halls

Yet your laughter echoes, still standing tall

July returns to remind us of the grace

Of the love that we found in your warm embrace

Oh, Theonest Mashamba, you taught us the way

To keep our family united every single day

Your stories of Zefania, the joy that you shared

Showing us exactly how much you really cared

Oh, Father, you left a light that will never fade

In the foundation of love that you surely laid

From Lugalo to our hearts, your memory stays

We praise God for your life in so many ways

We are Mashamba, united by your hand

Guided by the wisdom you left for this land

Thank You Jesus, for the time that we had

Rest in glory, our beloved Dad

At Kabale Bar, the music used to play

With Mama Emeresiana, you danced the night away

Amon, Zefania, Modesta, and Timothy too

Gathered around the pillar, always looking to you

You carried the weight of the clan on your back

You kept us all moving, kept us on the right track

You told us, 'Each person has their own path to walk'

We still hear the wisdom when we sit and we talk

Oh, Father, you left a light that will never fade

In the foundation of love that you surely laid

From Lugalo to our hearts, your memory stays

We praise God for your life in so many ways

We are Mashamba, united by your hand

Guided by the wisdom you left for this land

Thank You Jesus, for the time that we had

Rest in glory, our beloved Dad

Twelve grandchildren carrying the seed that you sown

In the presence of God, your love is now grown

Five grandsons, seven granddaughters, hearing your name

Your kindness and spirit, they carry the flame

Glory, glory, the legacy lives in our souls

God’s grace makes us complete, He makes us all whole

Yes Lord, we promise to stand by each other

Honoring the heart of our father and mother

Though your body has rested, your teachings remain

Through sunshine, through seasons, through joy and through pain

We care for our mother, as you taught us to do

We live out the values we learned from you

Praise Him for the journey, praise Him for the end

For the father, the pillar, the teacher, the friend

We keep the flame burning, we walk in your light

Until we meet again in the morning so bright

Oh, Father, you left a light that will never fade

In the foundation of love that you surely laid

From Lugalo to our hearts, your memory stays

We praise God for your life in so many ways

We are Mashamba, united by your hand

Guided by the wisdom you left for this land

Thank You Jesus, for the time that we had

Rest in glory, our beloved Dad

Rest in peace, Theonest Mashamba

Your love lives forever in us

We remember you always, we love you forever

Amen, amen, thank You Jesus

Glory to God, forevermore

Amen.
