South African gospel group Omega Circle has unveiled a heartfelt new EP, “Worship Songs I Could Have Sang With My Mother,” a deeply personal collection of worship songs inspired by loss, faith, and remembrance.
The EP was born out of reflection on the songwriter’s journey through grief. Twenty years have passed since the death of his mother, a loss that shaped his faith and inspired this musical tribute.
“Losing a mother is one of life’s hardest experiences,” he says. “It can shake your foundation and make you question the world. But in that space of loss, I turned to God, trusting Him to guide me through.”
The recurring phrase “Ndithembe kuwe,” meaning “I trust in You,” runs throughout the EP, anchoring its songs in a message of faith, surrender, and spiritual connection.
The idea for the EP came unexpectedly. One February morning, feeling uninspired and distant from music, he realized this year marked 20 years since his mother passed away. That realization sparked a wave of creativity, leading him to write the songs he imagines he and his mother would have sung together — perhaps even with the grandchildren she never met.
The songs arrived in quiet moments of reflection and early morning inspiration. Every track was written specifically for this project, except for a reimagined version of Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika, which opens the EP and sets the tone for the spiritual journey that follows.
“This EP is a tribute to the woman who taught me how to love God and how to love myself,” the group shares. “Worship music becomes a bridge, connecting us to the love, warmth, and faith we can no longer physically experience.”
“Worship Songs I Could Have Sang With My Mother” transforms grief into worship, offering listeners a space for reflection, healing, and spiritual connection.
The EP is available now on all major streaming platforms:
