Rest in Peace, Ɔbaapanin

(Intro to be spoken)

“Kojo Emma, popularly known as Misty Paradise, this is your brother-in-law, Ɔpanin Afoakwa Emmanuel. I wrote this song especially for you, to stand with you and console you at this difficult time, following the passing of your beloved mother, Ɔbaapanin Elizabeth Donkor.

I know no words can truly take away the pain of losing a mother, but I pray that this song brings you some comfort and reminds you that you are not alone. May the good Lord strengthen you, comfort you, and give you peace.

Kojo Emma, Misty Paradise, this song is for you—with love, sympathy, and heartfelt prayers.”

(Verse 1)

Misty Paradise, my brother-in-law,

Today our hearts are filled with pain,

Your dear mother has gone to rest,

And tears are falling like the rain.

Ɔbaapanin Elizabeth Donkor,

Your mother, the one who gave you life,

Though she has left this earthly home,

Her love will live on in your heart.

(Chorus)

Kojo Emma, my brother-in-law, be strong,

Misty Paradise, hold on,

The Lord is near the broken-hearted,

He will wipe away your tears.

Your mother has gone to rest,

But her memory will never die,

Put your trust in Jesus Christ,

He will carry you through.

(Verse 2)

We mourn with you, dear Kojo Emma,

We share the sorrow in your heart,

For losing a mother is a pain

That words can hardly ever touch.

But in the midst of all your sorrow,

May God's loving arms embrace you,

And when the road feels dark and lonely,

May His presence walk beside you.

(Chorus)

Kojo Emma, my brother-in-law, be strong,

Misty Paradise, hold on,

The Lord is near the broken-hearted,

He will wipe away your tears.

Your mother has gone to rest,

But her memory will never die,

Put your trust in Jesus Christ,

He will carry you through.

(Bridge)

Misty Paradise, we stand beside you,

Your family is holding you close,

In prayers, in love, and in remembrance,

May God's comfort fill your soul.

When you cry, may He console you,

When you're weak, may He give you strength,

And through the days ahead, dear brother,

May His grace sustain you.

When you cry, may He console you,

When you're weak, may He give you strength,

And through the days ahead, dear brother,

May His grace sustain you.

(Verse 3)

Ɔbaapanin Elizabeth Donkor,

Your mother has completed her race,

We thank God for the life she lived,

And pray she rests in perfect peace.

Kojo Emma, your mother's love

Will remain a treasure in your heart,

And though today we mourn her passing,

Her memory will never depart.

(Final Chorus)

Kojo Emma, my brother-in-law, be strong,

Misty Paradise, hold on,

The Lord is near the broken-hearted,

He will wipe away your tears.

Your mother has gone to rest,

But her memory will remain,

May God's comfort be with you,

Until we meet her again.

(Outro)

Rest in peace, Ɔbaapanin Elizabeth Donkor,

Mother of our dear Koko Emma.

Misty Paradise, my brother-in-law,

May the Lord strengthen you.

We mourn with you,

We pray with you,

We stand with you.

Be strong, Kojo Emma…

God will carry you through.
