A Prayer for Pevia

Lord, You know the plans You have for me

Oh yes, Lord

Back in Mazabuka, we had a simple dream

A shopkeeper and a baby keeper, or so it seemed

We fell in love slowly, promised we’d be one

But I had no gold or silver under the sun

I couldn't pay the price her family demanded of me

So they sent my Pevia far across the sea

Oh Pevia, I miss you today (thank You Jesus)

They took you away to the USA

But the money I saved to make you my bride

Became the seed that God multiplied

Now my business is rising, but my heart is still sore

Bless her, oh Lord, forevermore

I was working hard, trying to make a way

Now the storehouse is full, but you're far away

The grace of the Lord turned my tears into gold

But I’d give it all up for your hand to hold

Yes, my business is thriving because of your name

In the midst of the blessing, I still feel the pain (hallelujah)

Oh Pevia, I miss you today (yes Lord)

They took you away to the USA

But the money I saved to make you my bride

Became the seed that God multiplied

Now my business is rising, but my heart is still sore

Bless her, oh Lord, forevermore

I miss you, Pevia

God’s will be done

Amen
