[Chorus] Oh
Shadreck
Mwenda,
we
miss
you
so
much
We’
re
longing
to
feel
that
familiar
touch
The
house
is
so
quiet,
the
laughter
has
gone
We’
re
searching
for
shadows
from
dusk
until
dawn
Your
chair
is
now
empty,
the
table
is
cold
A
story
of
greatness
that’
s
left
half-untold
We
look
at
your
picture,
the
tears
start
to
fall
Wondering
why
God
had
to
give
you
the
call
[Chorus] Oh
Shadreck
Mwenda,
we
miss
you
so
much
We’
re
longing
to
feel
that
familiar
touch
Though
you
are
gone
to
the
city
of
light
Your
memory’
s
keeping
us
warm
in
the
night
Rest
well,
dear
brother.
uncle.
son.
cousin.
nephew.
grandpa.
husband.
and
friend
at
large.
in
the
arms
of
the
Lord
You’
re
gone
but
your
spirit
is
our
great
reward
[Verse 2] we
remember
the
lessons,
the
words
that
you
said
Keeping
us
grounded
with
the
life
that
you
led
You
fought
every
battle,
you
stood
like
a
wall
Now
you’
re
resting
peacefully,
standing
so
tall
Life
is
a
vapor,
it
fades
in
the
sun
But
look
at
the
race
that
you
gracefully
won
[Chorus] Oh
Shadreck
Mwenda,
we
miss
you
so
much
We’
re
longing
to
feel
that
familiar
touch
Though
you
are
gone
to
the
city
of
light
Your
memory’
s
keeping
us
warm
in
the
night
Rest
well,
dear
brother.
uncle.
son.
cousin.
nephew.
grandpa.
husband.
and
friend ,
in
the
arms
of
the
Lord
You’
re
gone
but
your
spirit
is
our
great
reward [
Bridge] (
Ayy,
it’
s
hard
to
breathe) (
Yoh,
the
pain
is
deep)
But
we’
ll
see
you
again
by
the
riverside
Where
sorrow
and
heartache
have
nowhere
to
hide
No
more
the
suffering,
no
more
the
pain
Only
the
beauty
of
heavenly
gain
[Chorus] Oh
Shadreck
Mwenda,
we
miss
you
so
much
We’
re
longing
to
feel
that
familiar
touch
Though
you
are
gone
to
the
city
of
light
Your
memory’
s
keeping
us
warm
in
the
night
Rest
well,
dear
brother.
uncle.
son.
cousin.
nephew.
grandpa.
husband.
and
friend.
in
the
arms
of
the
Lord
You’
re
gone
but
your
spirit
is
our
great
reward
[Outro] Rest
now,
Shadreck
Sleep
in
peace,
our
brother.
uncle.
son.
cousin.
nephew.
grandpa.

and
friend
We’
ll
keep
your

our
hearts) (
Rest
