Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the days grew long, and the pain was near
You stood like a rock, wiped every tear
Your hands were strong, but your heart was kind
You gave your soul, your peace of mind
You stayed through the nights we wept in fear
A friend so close, you drew us near
Nurse Alice, you carried more
You loved like Christ, you held that door

[Pre-Chorus]
You no run when trouble show
You stood firm, you let love grow
You prayed in silence, you gave your time
You showed us heaven in the hardest climb

[Chorus]
Nurse Alice, blessings go follow you
Àánú Ọlọ́run ko ni fi ẹ sílẹ̀ (God’s mercy won’t leave you)
Goodness and mercy go walk with you
Chi nke ọma ga-eso gi, nwanne m (A good God follows you, my sister)
You gave your all with no regret
Now joy go flood you, no forget

[Verse 2]
You didn’t need to be asked to stay
But still you came, you made a way
My wife found strength just seeing you
She smiled through pain because of you
You fought with us, you bore the load
Walked beside us, this tough road
You held her hand, you calmed her soul
You made us feel a love so whole

[Bridge]
Rare like diamond, sweet like flame
You gave your care, not seeking fame
Na God go lift you higher still
You gave pure love, you did God’s will
So now we pray in love and light
That heaven bless your days and night

[Chorus]
Nurse Alice, blessings go follow you
Àánú Ọlọ́run ko ni fi ẹ sílẹ̀
Favor and grace surround you too
Chi nke ọma ga-eso gi, nwanne m
You stood for truth, you walked in grace
Now may God shine upon your face

[Outro]
Oh Nurse Alice, from our heart
You’ve been a light from the very start
May all your dreams begin to rise
May joy be full beneath your skies
We’ll never forget what you have done
You stood with us, you stayed, you shone
God bless you more than words can say
Mo dupe, O daju, You will find your way
Chioma go dey with you always
Thank you, thank you — all our days.
