Oh,
we
celebrate
today
For
a
man
of
honour,
for
a
man
of
grace
Barnabas,
your
path
is
blessed
Listen
to
the
rhythm
of
the
heart
From
the
hills
of
North
Central,
the
sun
begins
to
rise
I
see
the
vision
clearly
reflected
in
your
eyes
Barnabas
Mnenga,
a
brother
tried
and
true
Everything
you
touch,
the
light
shines
through
You
carry
a
spirit
that
stands
against
the
gale
With
every
business
move,
you’
re
destined
not
to
fail
You
keep
your
promise,
you
walk
the
narrow
road
Helping
every
soul
to
carry
their
heavy
load
Oh,
Barnabas,
your
vision
is
first
class
A
solid
foundation,
a
history
that
will
last
Your
commitment
is
eternal,
deep
as
the
river
flow
Everywhere
you
step,
the
blessings
start
to
grow
You
are
a
faithful
partner,
a
friend
of
high
degree
May
the
heavens
open
up
and
show
the
world
your
victory
In
the
world
of
commerce,
your
word
is
like
a
bond
Thinking
of
the
future,
looking
far
beyond
We
walk
in
wisdom,
we
build
upon
the
stone
You
never
leave
a
brother
standing
all
alone
Your
leadership
is
quiet
but
the
impact
is
profound
Like
the
steady
heartbeat
that’
s
thumping
on
the
ground
We
praise
the
work
you
do,
we
celebrate
the
man
Moving
with
the
purpose
that
was
written
in
the
plan
Oh,
Barnabas,
your
vision
is
first
class
A
solid
foundation,
a
history
that
will
last
Your
commitment
is
eternal,
deep
as
the
river
flow
Everywhere
you
step,
the
blessings
start
to
grow
You
are
a
faithful
partner,
a
friend
of
high
degree
May
the
heavens
open
up
and
show
the
world
your
victory (
Violin
swells
with
the
flute)
Though
the
storms
may
gather,
your
anchor
is
secure
Your
integrity
is
gold,
your
motive
is
so
pure
No
shaking
in
your
steps,
no
shifting
in
your
gaze
Walking
in
the
light
for
all
of
your
days
So
let
the
drums
declare
it,
let
the
flute
sing
out
the
song
For
the
man
who
shows
us
how
to
stay
both
brave
and
strong
Barnabas
Mnenga,
may
your
harvest
be
the
best
In
every
single
struggle,
you
pass
the
ultimate
test
The
partnership
we
share
is
built
on
honest
ground
Where
truth
and
loyalty
are
the
treasures
that
we
found
Oh,
Barnabas,
your
vision
is
first
class
A
solid
foundation,
a
history
that
will
last
Your
commitment
is
eternal,
deep
as
the
river
flow
Everywhere
you
step,
the
blessings
start
to
grow
You
are
a
faithful
partner,
a

of

up
and

slowly
winds
down
with
melodic
flute)
Yes,
you
are
steady
Barnabas,
you
are
ready
Keep
on
shining,
keep
on
moving
The
vision
is
first
class (
