FRIENDSHIP IN BROTHERHOOD by Joseph C. Ogbu(JoeNwaOgbu)

God, joyously brought us together
And kept us fit and firm in every weather,
To gladly  live as friends and Brothers
Though born of different Fathers,
Arrived to embark on a single mission
To give light and life  to a divinely vision.

Yes! Like unbreakable cord we shall remain
Our  unity we shall ever keep and maintain,
With joy, we must sing a victorious song
With God, we shall move  and remain strong,
Thank You Lord for the gift of fraternal oneness
Which flows from Your incomparable holiness.

Brothers; Let's not forget but our true Love
No matter where life may move us to live,
Let our joy and good hearts not grab an end here
But should be truly given to people living  everywhere,
And let distances of our dioceses be not a barrier
To visit every Brother evangelizing in a particular area.

Brothers; Though Kipalapala, 2021 we departed
But know that, our brotherhood can never be separated,
Though eyes will definitely miss  brothers faces
But heart will surely remember all, in your various bases,
No matter where one may be working or evangelizing
Don't worry; Friendship will keep blossoming and not fading.

Brothers, Wherever we go;  let's keep remembering Mpanda
Arusha, Mbinga, Kayanga, and Bunda,
Moshi, Geita,  Mbeya, and Tabora 
 Morogoro , Shinyanga and  Rulenge-Ngara, 
Dar-es-Salaam, Mahenge and Kahama
Bukoba, Ifakara, Mwanza and Kigoma.

Then, nothing more I have but to wish  everyone well
May our lives be filled with good luck and nice stories to tell,
May God bless our paths and make us true Ministers
So that people may gladly sing to testify our good characters,
Then, with a humble heart  I pray; Lord please always hold us tight
And daily lead us on every road that is right.
