Oh, heaven opened up its gates
Mama, you left us in this state
Eunice Kayuma Makuya, the light of our home
How can you leave us here all alone?
Just like a whisper, you faded from sight
Leaving us walking through the darkest of night
Oh, Mama Eunice, the silence is deep
Promises kept and the vows that you keep
Rest in peace, Mama, rest in your crown
We’re laying our heavy hearts gently down
Oh, Eunice Kayuma, we miss you so dear
Wishing your laughter was still ringing here
Yes Lord, we miss you, we feel the sharp pain
Until we meet you in glory again
Nine of us children, we stand in a line
Searching for traces of all that was thine
You left us with memories, stories, and love
Watching us now from the heavens above
Zhoromi Kazhinga, our brother so true
Our firstborn pillar, he carries us through
Rest in peace, Mama, rest in your crown
We’re laying our heavy hearts gently down
Oh, Eunice Kayuma, we miss you so dear
Wishing your laughter was still ringing here
Yes Lord, we miss you, we feel the sharp pain
Until we meet you in glory again
We thank You, Jesus, for the gift of his grace
For Zhoromi standing to take up the space
He’s leading the nine of us, strong in the trial
While we remember your beautiful smile
Glory to God for the life that you gave
Even in sorrow, our spirits are brave
Mama, the house feels so empty and wide
But we know your spirit is right by our side
Praise Him for healing, though tears start to fall
We’re answering softly to heaven’s own call
We’ll keep your legacy, honor your name
Eunice, our mother, we’ll keep your bright flame
Rest in peace, Mama, rest in your crown
We’re laying our heavy hearts gently down
Oh, Eunice Kayuma, we miss you so dear
Wishing your laughter was still ringing here
Yes Lord, we miss you, we feel the sharp pain
Until we meet you in glory again
Rest in peace, Mama Eunice
Yes Lord, we trust You
Hallelujah, we miss you
Amen, amen
