Father's Promise to Malekani Peter (Remix)

[male vocals] Oh,

heaven

hear

my

cry

today

Resting

in

your

arms,

Father

Malekani

Peter,

you

were

the

light

Even

in

the

shadows

of

the

longest

night

You

taught

me

how

to

stand,

how

to

be

true

When

the

world

turned

cold,

I

looked

to

you

You

whispered

words

that

echo

in

my

soul

To

hold

the

family

close

and

make

us

whole

Even

when

the

relatives

would

turn

their

face

You

walked

with

courage

and

you

walked

with

grace

Oh,

Malekani

Peter,

I

will

carry

your

name

Through

the

bitter

wind

and

the

pouring

rain

I

will

stand

for

the

ones

you

left

behind

In

your

memory,

Lord,

peace

I

find

Yes

Lord,

I

will

stand

by

them

all

I

will

never

let

them

slip

or

fall

Mr.

Tutu

Nkulu,

I

will

hold

you

near

My

brother

Monga,

have

no

doubt

or

fear

Ilunga

Fred,

we

walk

this

narrow

road

Mary

Ngoy,

I

will

help

you

bear

the

load

Esther,

keep

your

head

up

to

the

sky

Jackrine

Monga,

dry

every

single

eye

Habraham,

we

are

bound

by

sacred

love

Watching

from

the

throne

of

God

above

Oh,

Malekani

Peter,

I

will

carry

your

name

Through

the

bitter

wind

and

the

pouring

rain

I

will

stand

for

the

ones

you

left

behind

In

your

memory,

Lord,

peace

I

find

Yes

Lord,

I

will

stand

by

them

all

I

will

never

let

them

slip

or

fall

And

Mpundu

Emmanuel,

you

are

family

too

There

is

nothing

that

the

darkness

can

do

If

they

try

to

bring

evil

to

your

door

I’

ll

be

standing

right

there

at

the

floor

With

prayer

and

with

power,

shield

you

around

Keeping

our

feet

on

this

holy

ground

Father,

you

saw

the

road

before

it

came

Now

I

am

calling

out

every

precious

name

Protecting

the

lineage,

keeping

the

bond

Reaching

for

the

hope

that

lies

beyond

Glory,

glory,

the

promise

you

gave

Lives

in

the

hearts

of

the

noble

and

brave

Thank

you

Jesus,

for

the

path

you

laid

I

will

never

be

afraid,

no

never

afraid

Oh,

Malekani

Peter,

I

will

carry

your

name

Through

the

bitter

wind

and

the

pouring

rain

I

will

stand

for

the

ones

you

left

behind

In

your

memory,

Lord,

peace

I

find

Yes

Lord,

I

will

stand

by

them

all

I

will

never

let

them

slip

or

fall

Rest

now,

Malekani

Peter,

in

the

light

Everything

is

going

to

be

alright

We

are

family,

standing

tall

and

true

Glory,

amen,

we

remember

you

Yes

Lord,

we

remember

you.
