Grace for Martha (Remix)

[female

vocals] (

Soft,

steady

piano

chords) (

Deep,

mournful

humming)

Oh,

Lord,

I

thank

You

for

this

day

Even

though

my

heart

is

heavy

Today

I

turn

a

year

older

But

I

feel

the

distance

so

deeply

God,

the

child

of

Moffat

Sinkala

is

growing

Martha

Nambela,

daughter

of

Elizabeth

Sakala

Lord,

I

give

You

all

the

glory

for

my

life

I

am

a

big

girl

now,

standing

on

my

own

But

in

this

moment

of

celebration

There

is

a

shadow

where

a

light

used

to

be

I

wish

you

were

here,

Daddy,

to

see

me

now

To

see

how

your

little

girl

has

grown

Oh,

Father,

I

thank

You

for

Your

protection

Thank

You

for

the

favor

that

leads

my

way

I

am

not

alone

in

this

journey

of

life

But

my

heart

longs

for

a

voice

I

cannot

hear

It

is

my

birthday,

but

the

house

feels

quiet

I

am

praying

for

peace

in

the

arms

of

the

King

I

wish

you

were

here

to

witness

this

day

Oh,

how

I

wish

Daddy

was

here

to

see

See

how

your

youngest

one

is

blooming

today

I

know

you

are

resting

in

the

peace

of

the

King

Moffat,

I

know

you

are

blessed

where

you

are

But

the

memories,

they

pull

at

my

heart

I

miss

the

laughter,

I

miss

the

guiding

hand

On

this

day

when

I

am

meant

to

be

joyful

Oh,

Father,

I

thank

You

for

Your

protection

Thank

You

for

the

favor

that

leads

my

way

I

am

not

alone

in

this

journey

of

life

But

my

heart

longs

for

a

voice

I

cannot

hear

It

is

my

birthday,

but

the

house

feels

quiet

I

am

praying

for

peace

in

the

arms

of

the

King

And

I

have

Daddy

Kenny

always

by

my

side

He

walks

with

me

so

I

don't

have

to

cry

He

doesn’

t

want

to

see

his

little

sister

weeping

He

holds

me

up

when

the

world

feels

too

big

I

know

the

blessings

for

my

birthday

are

coming

Daddy

Kenny,

I

know

you

won’

t

let

me

down

Oh,

Father,

I

thank

You

for

Your

protection

Thank

You

for

the

favor

that

leads

my

way

I

am

not

alone

in

this

journey

of

life

But

my

heart

longs

for

a

voice

I

cannot

hear

It

is

my

birthday,

but

the

house

feels

quiet

I

am

praying

for

peace

in

the

arms

of

the

King

I

am

a

big

girl

now

Thank

You,

Lord,

for

carrying

me

through

Even

with

the

tears,

I

find

my

strength

in

You

Rest

in

peace,

Daddy

Moffat

I

will

keep

moving

forward

For

you,

for

me,

for

the

Lord (

piano

chords)
