THANK YOU FOR THE LEGACY
Sam Fortune
Verse 1
Daddy, we still hear your voice today,
Though you've gone so far away.
From Primary Two you held my hand,
And showed me Christ, God's perfect plan.
You taught me how to pray and stand,
You raised me with a shepherd's hand.
The seeds you planted long ago,
Are bearing fruits for all to know.
Chorus
Thank you for the legacy, Daddy,
Thank you for the life you gave.
Though your death left a hole in our hearts,
Your footprints remain on every path.
God's General, Prayer Machine,
A church planter with a heavenly dream.
Though you're gone, your light still shines,
Your legacy lives on through time.
Verse 2
A father to many, not just your own,
A brother to many wherever you've gone.
Pastor to many, Prophet so true,
Countless lives were blessed through you.
A pathfinder, role model, faithful and strong,
You pointed the lost where they belong.
Your heart beat only for ministry,
Service, sacrifice, and eternity.
Chorus
Thank you for the legacy, Daddy,
Thank you for the life you gave.
Though your death left a hole in our hearts,
Your footprints remain on every path.
God's General, Prayer Machine,
A church planter with a heavenly dream.
Though you're gone, your light still shines,
Your legacy lives on through time.
Bridge
Ministry, ministry, ministry,
That was your passion and destiny.
You poured your life into boys and girls,
Preparing them to face this world.
Your boys are doing fine today,
Though one was taken away.
Ayoyinka, we still remember,
His memory burns like an ember.
And all your daughters are standing strong,
Carrying the vision and moving on.
Emotional Verse
Sometimes we wish you could return,
To hear your voice and watch you smile.
To kneel beside you once again,
And pray together for a while.
But heaven gained a soldier brave,
A servant faithful to the end.
And every soul you led to Christ,
Is proof your labor was not in vain.
Final Chorus
Thank you for the legacy, Daddy,
Thank you for the way you led.
Though tears still fall when we remember,
Your words still echo in our heads.
Prayer Machine, God's General,
Your impact remains phenomenal.
Until we meet at Jesus' feet,
Your legacy will never fade.
Outro
Sleep on, Daddy.
Sleep on, faithful servant.
Sleep on, church planter.
Sleep on, God's General.
We will guard the legacy.
We will keep the fire burning.
We will follow Christ till the end.
Thank you, Daddy... thank you.
Rest in peace (my father rest in peace)
Rest in peace (rest in peace God's general)
Rest in peace (rest in peace Pathfinder)
Rest well! Rest well!
Your son Sam Fortune say rest in peace
