(Hallelujah) We lift our hearts in prayer tonight
(Yes Lord) We celebrate the light of Bernadette Wumba
Maman Bernadette Wumba, your spirit shines so bright
Though the shadows fall upon us, you are our morning light
From the memories we cherish, to the love you left behind
You were the grace of heaven, a soul so gentle and so kind
We hold your name in honor, we whisper it to the sky
Oh, Bernadette Wumba, we never say goodbye
Maman Bernadette Wumba, we sing your song today
Even in the sorrow, we walk the narrow way
Sidonie, Martine, Pasi, Sunda, Lufu, we stand in line
To celebrate the beauty of a soul that was divine
Yes Lord, glory to the heavens above
For the life of Bernadette, a legacy of love
Masamba, Nénette, Emano, Nicolette and Micheline
The strongest family foundation that we have ever seen
Kally, Symbay, Marie Nseka, Sambale join the choir
Burning with the spirit, a holy kind of fire
We miss you dearly, Maman, in every single breath
But faith tells us you’re resting, far beyond the reach of death
Maman Bernadette Wumba, we sing your song today
Even in the sorrow, we walk the narrow way
Sidonie, Martine, Pasi, Sunda, Lufu, we stand in line
To celebrate the beauty of a soul that was divine
Yes Lord, glory to the heavens above
For the life of Bernadette, a legacy of love
And Dorcas Mbela, your niece so dear
We feel your presence drawing near
Beluza, daughter of the heart, you stand so tall
Through the tears and through the pain, He’s catching us all
(Praise Him) Thank You Jesus for the time we shared
(Glory) We know how much you truly cared
To all the children and the grandchildren, lift your heads up high
She’s watching from the mansions placed inside the morning sky
Though the family is weeping, let the joy of heaven reign
Bernadette Wumba, you are free from all the pain
We carry you forever in the chambers of our heart
Until the day we meet again, and we never have to part
Maman Bernadette Wumba, we sing your song today
Even in the sorrow, we walk the narrow way
Sidonie, Martine, Pasi, Sunda, Lufu, we stand in line
To celebrate the beauty of a soul that was divine
Yes Lord, glory to the heavens above
For the life of Bernadette, a legacy of love
Rest in peace, Bernadette Wumba
(Amen) We love you always
(Hallelujah) Forever in our hearts
(Thank You Jesus) Peace be with you, Maman
(Amen)
