Burchard, you're the heart of this family
Three years have passed since you went home
But your love still fills our family throne
You treated everyone the same, with grace and care
A father's heart beyond compare
You smiled at strangers in the street
Made every person feel complete
No pride, no judgment in your eyes
You saw the good, you saw the light
Burchard, Burchard, the heart of Mbakile
Your goodness echoes all the while
You gave your love so pure and true
We thank the Lord for blessing us with you
Hallelujah, praise His name
Your legacy will never change
Burchard, father, guide us still
Your loving spirit, always will
You lifted up the broken ones
Your warmth was like the morning sun
Equal kindness, equal grace
A smile upon your beautiful face
You showed us what it means to care
To carry burdens, love to share
Yes Lord, you lived the gospel true
We see your Christ-like love in you
Burchard, Burchard, the heart of Mbakile
Your goodness echoes all the while
You gave your love so pure and true
We thank the Lord for blessing us with you
Hallelujah, praise His name
Your legacy will never change
Burchard, father, guide us still
Your loving spirit, always will
Burchard, the heart of Mbakile
Amen, thank you Jesus
