(Akonawatata)
Oh, the peace you left behind
You were the man of peace, steady and kind
Always told us 'it's okay, let it be' in your mind
A father to all, with a heart wide and deep
In the quiet of the night, your memory we keep
(Yes Lord)
Oh, Father, our strength and our hope
Our lifeline when we struggled to cope
Greater than any man we've ever known
In your footsteps, we have truly grown
Rest well, Father, rest in the light
(Glory)
We see your face in the rising sun
The race you ran, the work you've done
Akonawatata, your name we whisper low
Thank you for the love that you let us know
(Thank You Jesus)
Oh, Father, our strength and our hope
Our lifeline when we struggled to cope
Greater than any man we've ever known
In your footsteps, we have truly grown
Rest well, Father, rest in the light
Though the tears may fall like rain
Your wisdom heals the heart of pain
A man of peace, a legacy divine
Forever in our souls, your light will shine
(Hallelujah)
The boys are standing, holding the line
Just like you taught us, noble and fine
We carry your spirit, we carry your name
Nothing in this world will ever be the same
(Praise Him)
Oh, Father, our strength and our hope
Our lifeline when we struggled to cope
Greater than any man we've ever known
In your footsteps, we have truly grown
Rest well, Father, rest in the light
Rest well, Father
Akonawatata, you’re home at last
We love you always
Amen.
