Kumbukumbu ya Theonest Mashamba (Remix)

(Choir humming)

Oh, we remember you today, Dad.

Your spirit lives on, Hallelujah.

July comes calling like a whisper in the wind

Six years have passed, but the memories don't end

You taught us love, you taught us how to stand

With a heart of gold and a guiding hand

Oh, Theonest Mashamba, you were the rock

Your laughter echoes round the ticking clock

We hear you calling Zefania’s name

In a joy that never flickered, never stayed the same

Yes Lord, thank You Jesus.

Oh, the legacy of Theonest Mashamba

A father’s love, a light that burns so bright

You brought us together, you taught us to unite

From Lugalo days to the family grace

We still see the love shining on your face

Rest in glory, rest in peace, our king

Your life is the song that we forever sing.

Kabale Bar was more than a place for a meal

It was the heartbeat, the love that we feel

With Mama Emeresiana by your side

A love so true, with nothing to hide

Amon, Zefania, Modesta, and Timothy too

Growing in the wisdom that we learned from you

You carried the burden, you lifted the weight

Building a foundation that’s truly great

Glory, glory, your work was done well.

Oh, the legacy of Theonest Mashamba

A father’s love, a light that burns so bright

You brought us together, you taught us to unite

From Lugalo days to the family grace

We still see the love shining on your face

Rest in glory, rest in peace, our king

Your life is the song that we forever sing.

Twelve grandchildren now, keeping your name alive

They’ll know your story, they’ll learn how to thrive

You taught us that wealth isn’t silver or gold

But the love of a family, a story untold

We promise to stay together, to honor the bond

To look to the future, to the life beyond

Yes Lord, Amen.

Your words of wisdom linger in our ears

Guiding our hearts through the passing of years

"None of us will sleep here," you told us with a smile

Reminding us life is just for a while

We walk our own paths, but we’re never alone

Because your spirit is the seed that was sown

Thank you for the kindness, thank you for the care

We feel your presence everywhere.

Oh, the legacy of Theonest Mashamba

A father’s love, a light that burns so bright

You brought us together, you taught us to unite

From Lugalo days to the family grace

We still see the love shining on your face

Rest in glory, rest in peace, our king

Your life is the song that we forever sing.

Rest in peace, Dad

We will love you forever, Mashamba family

Your legacy, it lives on

Thank You Jesus, Amen.
