Omega Circle Pays Tribute to Mother in Heartfelt New Gospel EP
South African gospel group Omega Circle has released a deeply moving new EP, “Worship Songs I Could Have Sang With My Mother,” a project born from personal loss, reflection, and faith.
The EP was inspired by the songwriter’s own journey through grief, marking 20 years since the passing of his mother. It explores how the loss of a parent can shake your foundation, but also how leaning into God can restore trust and hope.
“Losing a mother is perhaps one of the hardest things anyone can face,” the group explains. “It can make you question the world around you, but in that emptiness, you find God. That trust — Ndithembe kuwe — became the heart of this project.”
The phrase “Ndithembe kuwe,” meaning “I trust in You,” resonates throughout the EP, capturing its central theme of faith amid loss.
The inspiration came unexpectedly. One February morning, feeling uninspired and adrift, the songwriter was reminded that two decades had passed since his mother’s death. That realization sparked the creation of songs he imagines he and his mother might have sung together — and songs that could even have been shared with the grandchildren she never met.
The EP blends songs written in quiet early mornings and moments of spontaneous inspiration. Every track was penned by Omega Circle, with the exception of a reimagined version of Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika, which opens the EP with a stirring introduction.
“This EP is a tribute to my first love — the woman who taught me how to love God and how to love myself,” the group says. “Worship music bridges the gap between memory and spirit. It carries us back to a warmth we miss and will never physically experience again.”
“Worship Songs I Could Have Sang With My Mother” offers listeners a powerful spiritual experience, transforming grief into worship and memories into song.
The EP is available now on all major streaming platforms:
