Lord,
we
come
before
You
nemitima
ishafina
kabili
namenso
ayafilamba.
Searching
for
truth
in
the
skies.
Lawrence
Kabamba,
he
stands
before
You
today.
Alefwaya
ukumfwa

in
the
middle
of
the
storm.
Lawrence
Kabamba
walks
a
path
of
tears
tonight,
Seeing
the
betrayal
hidden
from
the
morning
light.
They
say
a
choice
was
made,
a
bond
that’
s
torn
away,
Taking
the
sister
of
the
x
wife,
ati
aliluba
efyo
bonse
bala.
Oh
Lord,
is
it
sin
that
clouds
the
vision
of
the
blind?
When
the
ones
we
shielded
leave
the
truth
so
far
behind.
He
feels
the
weight
of
judgment,
he
feels
the
cold
disdain,
Lawrence
Kabamba
calls
Your
name,
wash
away
the
pain.
Oh,
vindicate
the
righteous
when
the
world
begins
to
judge,
When
those
people
twale
afwilisha
ebatusungila
ifilubo
kumitima
yabo.
We
call
them
family,
we
call
them
friends,
we
call
them
our
own,
But
balituposa
panse
elo
nokutusha
fweka.
Lord,
injubsuleni
amenso
to
see
the
hearts
yabantu
ndi
nabo,
Help
us
rise
above
the
shadows,
help
us
break
the
cycle
of
sin.
Lawrence
Kabamba
looks
back
at
all
the
love
he
gave,
To
the
sons
and
daughters
he
tried
so
hard
to
save.
But
gratitude
is
silent,
replaced
by
poison
tongues,
Like
a
heavy
burden
resting
on
his
weary
lungs.
Ababene
twalepanga,
nyaba
bene
twalelisha,
Now
they
turn
around
lelo
bapilibuka

Lawrence
Kabamba
waits
for
justice
from
Your
throne
on
high,
Ukuwamya

aba

Oh,
vindicate
the
righteous
when
the
world
begins
to
judge,
When
those
we
sacrificed
for
hold
a
cold
and
bitter
grudge.
We
call
them
family,
we
call
them
friends,
we
call
them
our
own,
But
we
are
cast
aside
and
left
to
stand
here
all
alone.
Lord,
open
up
our
eyes
to
see
the
hearts
that
dwell
within,
Help
us
rise
above
the
shadows,
help
us
break
the
cycle
of
sin.
We
gave
our
best,
we
gave
our
all,
We
didn't
know
they’
d
watch
us
fall.
But
Lawrence
Kabamba
stands
in
the
light
of
Your
grace,
Seeking
the
truth
that
shines
upon
Your
holy
face.
Ungrateful
hearts
may
sting,
but
Your
love
will
never
fail,
You
are
the
anchor,
Lord,
within
this
holy
gale.
Oh,
vindicate
the
righteous
when
the

begins
to

When
those

We
call

we
call

we
call

But
we

Lord,
open
up
our

to
see
the

that
dwell
within,
Help
us
rise
above
the
shadows,
help
us
break
the

of

Lawrence
Kabamba,
lift
your
head
up
high.
For
the
truth
will
rise
beneath
the
open
sky.
Lord,
vindicate
us,
lead
us
home.
You
are
never,
ever
standing
all
alone. (
Fading
piano)
Amen. (
Fading
piano)
Amen.
