Grace Over Our House (Remix)

Oh, we lift a praise today

For the legacy of love and the grace that paved the way

I remember the nights when I was young and small

I’d see my mother crying, leaning against the wall

Praying to the Father, seeking light through the dark

For the lives of her children, she carried a heavy spark

Oh Judith, your tears were seeds planted in the ground

And now the harvest of your faith is all around

Mr. Peter, you stood steady, you held the line

Through the seasons of struggle, you were doing just fine

Oh, thank You Jesus for the ones who paved the way

For Peter and Judith, we sing our praise today

We thank You for the roots, we thank You for the grace

We’re walking in the promise all over this place

Hallelujah, glory, they taught us how to stand

Blessing every child across this promised land

Look back at the days when they laughed at our name

Because of the poverty, they thought it was a shame

But God turned the mourning into dancing and light

He kept our family shielded through the middle of the night

Now I tell my brothers and my sisters, put the Lord first

Work hard for the harvest, quench the spirit’s thirst

For our children are blessings, hear the testimony clear

Mainnaty, Yusuf, and Brandina, let the world hear

Oh, thank You Jesus for the ones who paved the way

For Peter and Judith, we sing our praise today

We thank You for the roots, we thank You for the grace

We’re walking in the promise all over this place

Hallelujah, glory, they taught us how to stand

Blessing every child across this promised land

Thomas and Peter, Chrispine and Jackson too

Goodson and Esau, there’s work left for you

Latinah, Enes, Claris, Giveness, and Ronica

We rise as a family, singing out hallelujah

Yes Lord, we are rising, we are breaking every chain

Walking in the favor, praising through the rain

It’s not by our power, it’s not by our might

It’s the spirit of God turning darkness to light

To my siblings and children, let’s carry this flame

In the honor of our parents, we’re calling His name

Work hard for the future, give back to the kin

Let the joy of the Lord be the place where we begin

Thank You Jesus for the path that You’ve shown

For the seeds of the righteous that clearly have grown

Oh, thank You Jesus for the ones who paved the way

For Peter and Judith, we sing our praise today

We thank You for the roots, we thank You for the grace

We’re walking in the promise all over this place

Hallelujah, glory, they taught us how to stand

Blessing every child across this promised land

Long live the parents, let the legacy remain

We praise Him, we praise Him, again and again

Amen, Amen, for the life that we share

Blessing the family, answer to prayer

Yes Lord, Amen.
