Today
we
gather
in
the
light
To
celebrate
a
special
milestone
Twenty-five
years
of
faith
and
service
Let
the
music
play,
let
the
spirit
rise
We
come
together
with
hearts
full
of
praise
To
honor
the
path
that
you
have
walked
for
days
Father
Osward
Mwaba,
a
servant
so
true
Twenty-five
years,
the
grace
has
been
with
you
From
the
early
morning
to
the
setting
sun
The
work
of
your
hands
has
only
just
begun
Through
the
valleys
and
the
mountains
high
You
kept
the
light
burning,
reaching
for
the
sky
Oh,
Father
Osward,
we
celebrate
your
light
Twenty-five
years
shining
ever
so
bright
In
the
service
of
the
Lord,
you
stand
so
tall
Answering
the
mission,
answering
the
call
We
thank
God
for
the
journey,
for
the
love
you
share
With
the
Mwaba
family,
we
offer
up
this
prayer
Blessings
upon
you,
may
the
favor
stay
On
this
Jubilee,
our
special
holiday
Your
brothers
and
sisters,
we
stand
by
your
side
With
nothing
to
fear
and
nothing
to
hide
You
taught
us
of
patience,
of
kindness
and
grace
Putting
a
smile
upon
every
single
face
For
the
daughters
of
the
family,
you
are
the
guide
With
wisdom
and
humor,
you
turn
the
turning
tide
It
is
not
easy
to
walk
this
sacred
road
But
you
carried
the
weight
and
you
lightened
the
load
Oh,
Father
Osward,
we
celebrate
your
light
Twenty-five
years
shining
ever
so
bright
In
the
service
of
the
Lord,

On

Twenty-five
years
of
the
word
and
the
bread
By
your
gentle
spirit,
the
hungry
are
fed
We
look
to
the
future
with
joy
in
our
eyes
As
the
sun
of
your
ministry
paints
all
the
skies
May
the
Lord
pour
out
blessings,
a
measure
so
deep
For
all
of
the
promises
that
you
chose
to
keep
So
let
the
drums
beat
and
the
guitars
ring
out
This
is
a
day
that
we
scream
and
we
shout
Father
Osward
Mwaba,
our
brother
and
friend
May
your
goodness
and
mercy
never
have
an
end
The
Mwaba
family
is
proud
of
your
name
You
carry
the
torch
with
a
holy
flame
Keep
on
shining,
keep
on
being
the
soul
That
makes
our
community
finally
whole
