Kumbukumbu ya Theonest Mashamba (Remix)

(Hallelujah)

Oh, glory to the Highest

We remember, we honor, we celebrate

Six years have passed since you took your flight

But your light still shines so very bright

July brings the memories, the joy and the tears

Of the love you planted through all of the years

Your voice is an echo deep in the soul

You taught us to be one, to make us whole

From Lugalo days to the life that we share

We feel your presence everywhere

(Yes Lord, thank You Jesus)

Oh, Theonest Mashamba, you’re forever our guide

With the love of a father, standing by our side

Mama Emeresiana, she carries the flame

And we honor the power of your noble name

We are united, we are strong

Because of the love where we belong

(Praise Him, praise Him)

We remember the laughter, the stories you told

Worth more than silver, worth more than gold

Calling out Zefania with a smile so wide

With the wisdom of heaven deep inside

At Kabale Bar where the family would meet

You taught us that unity made life sweet

You lifted your siblings, you stood like a wall

You were the pillar who caught us from the fall

(Glory, glory)

Oh, Theonest Mashamba, you’re forever our guide

With the love of a father, standing by our side

Mama Emeresiana, she carries the flame

And we honor the power of your noble name

We are united, we are strong

Because of the love where we belong

Twelve grandchildren now, a beautiful legacy

Though some didn't meet you, they'll know your decree

Of love and respect and the grace that you showed

Walking the path on this heavenly road

"We are enjoying today, but we all have a home"

Your words of wisdom wherever we roam

(Amen, thank You Lord)

Amon, Zefania, Modesta, and Timothy too

We walk in the light that was given by you

Honoring Mama, keeping the bond

Reaching for heaven, the great beyond

Your work is finished, you’ve earned your rest

In the arms of the Father, truly blessed

We’ll keep the family, we’ll keep the peace

Until the day that our own journeys cease

Oh, Theonest Mashamba, you’re forever our guide

With the love of a father, standing by our side

Mama Emeresiana, she carries the flame

And we honor the power of your noble name

We are united, we are strong

Because of the love where we belong

Rest now, dear father, in the master's light

You fought the good fight, you finished it right

We love you forever, in our hearts you stay

Until we meet again in the light of the day

(Hallelujah, praise Him, Amen)

Forever our father, Amen.
