Verse 1
For thirty years, Your light did shine,
In Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, a gift divine.
Ordained to lead with heart so true,
Pastor Godfrey, we sing of You.
Chorus
You’re a man of God, shining bright,
Guiding us in darkest night.
In every heart, Your love will stay,
Forevermore, You show the way.
Verse 2
With Audrey dear, Your lifelong friend,
A bond of love that knows no end.
And Shenay, Shelly, daughters fair,
Your tender care was always there.
Chorus
You’re a man of God, shining bright,
Guiding us in darkest night.
In every heart, Your love will stay,
Forevermore, You show the way.
Verse 3
From Cape Town skies, You flew with grace,
To Jeffreys Bay, that sacred place.
To lay to rest our son Giovani dear,
Your steady voice brought comfort near.
Bridge
When sorrow came, You held our hand,
In troubled times, You helped us stand.
From birthday cheers to funeral prayers,
Your love surrounds, beyond compares.
Chorus
You’re a man of God, shining bright,
Guiding us in darkest night.
In every heart, Your love will stay,
Forevermore, You show the way.
Outro
Rest now, dear pastor, crown of grace,
Your life, a song, a warm embrace.
In heaven’s choir, Your voice we’ll hear,
A faithful servant ever near.
